The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides grants for pre-disaster mitigation activities, including those associated with mitigating the effects of climate change, to build capacity of state and local governments, tribes, and territories. Funds may be used for capacity building activities, hazard mitigation projects, and reimbursement of management costs associated with specific mitigation measures.
The program is designed to:
- Increase climate literacy among the emergency management community, including awareness of natural hazard risks and knowledge of best practices
- Increase awareness of stakeholders and partners with capabilities to support mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery
- Develop and complete more innovative risk-informed mitigation projects
- Help communities identify and mitigate the risks to natural hazards and their own threats from climate change
- Increase resources to eliminate disparities in equitable outcomes across underserved communities
Priority is given to disadvantaged or Justice40 communities, as well as to communities defined as an Economically Disadvantaged Rural Community by the Climate and Economic Justice Screening tool.
