The materials aid state, local,
tribal, and territorial emergency management with submitting more successful Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program applications. Materials also help them
reduce the 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. 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. |
