Special Announcement

August 31, 2022 -  Subscribe Special Announcement: FEMA Publishes Support Materials for Emergency Management Partners FEMA Publishes Support Materials for Emergency Management Partners New support materials are available to governments to help them apply for a FEMA grant program providing funds to make them more resilient.  The materials aid state, local, tribal and territorial emergency management to submitting more successful Hazard Mitigation Grant Program applications. Materials also help them reduce time it takes to receive awards. FEMA anticipates the guides will help HMGP funding reach more communities. The program provides funding to state, local, tribal and territorial governments so they can develop hazard mitigation plans and rebuild in a way that reduces or mitigates, disaster losses in their communities. When requested by an authorized representative, this grant funding is available after a presidentially declared disaster. In alignment with the "people first" approach outlined in the 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan, these materials provide an overview of program requirements, sample applications and step-by-step instructions that aim to reduce barriers preventing some communities. Guides are especially beneficial to disadvantaged communities that may have difficulties accessing the program.  The support materials include information for the most requested HMGP project types for various mitigation activities such as acquisition, elevation, flood risk reduction, hurricane wind retrofitting and soil stabilization. FEMA plans to develop more application support materials for additional project types.    Visit FEMA.gov to access the HMGP support materials.   Disclaimer: This communication is provided by FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance Division to highlight recent and upcoming program and policy activities and announcements and does not endorse any non-government organizations, entities or services.
