Contacts by state and territory

The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides grants for pre-disaster mitigation activities to build capacity of state and local governments, Tribes, and territories.

The program is designed to:

• Support state and local governments, tribes, and territories through capacity building to enable them to identify mitigation actions and implement projects that reduce risks posed by natural hazards
• Encourage and enable innovation while allowing flexibility, consistency, and effectiveness
• Promote partnerships and enable high-impact investments to reduce risk from natural hazards with a focus on critical services and facilities, public infrastructure, public safety, public health, and communities
• Provide a significant opportunity to reduce future losses and minimize impacts on the Disaster Relief Fund
• Support the adoption and enforcement of building codes, standards, and policies that will protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the public, take into account future conditions, and have long-lasting impacts on community risk reduction, including for critical services and facilities and for future disaster costs
