Emergency Management Performance Grants
(EMPG) |
|
|
|
Program Description |
|
To assist the development, maintenance, and
improvement of State and local emergency
management capabilities, which are key
components of a comprehensive national
emergency management system for disasters
and emergencies that may result from natural
disasters or accidental or man-caused
events. By combining former program
activities into the Emergency Management
Performance Grant (EMPG), FEMA is providing
States the flexibility to allocate funds
according to risk and to address the most
urgent State and local needs in disaster
mitigation, preparedness, response, and
recovery. Working within the standard
Federal government grant administration
process, EMPG provides the support that
State and local governments need to achieve
measurable results in key functional areas
of emergency management. |

Flood
Mitigation Assistance (FMA) |
|
|
 Program Description
The Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA)
Program is authorized by Sections 1366 and
1367 (42 U.S.C.) of the National Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 1994. It is a
partnership designed to assist states, local
and Indian Tribal governments in reducing or
eliminating long-term risks of flood damage
to repetitively flooded structures insured
under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
The FMA program provides assistance and
grants to states and repetitive loss
communities for activities the at
will reduce
the risk of flood damage to repetitive loss
structures insurable under the
National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). FMA provides
grants up to 75% for both planning and
projects on an annual basis. |

Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant (PDM) |
|
|
Program Description
States are encouraged to use grants to
implement a sustained pre-disaster hazard
mitigation program to reduce risk to the
population, the costs and disruption to
individuals and businesses caused by severe
property damage, and the ever-growing cost
to all taxpayers of Federal disaster relief
efforts.
The program is similar to both the
Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program
and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
in that there is an emphasis on "brick and
mortar" mitigation projects and that State
and local mitigation plans are required
prior
to approval of mitigation project
grants. Allowable costs will be governed by
44 CFR
Part 13, Uniform Administrative
Requirements for Grants and Cooperative
Agreements to State and Local Governments
and OMB Circular A-87, Cost Principles for
State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments.
