Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grants
Hazard Mitigation grants can assist communities with projects that are dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.
Hazard Mitigation Assistance Programs provide funding for eligible activities that are consistent with the National Mitigation Framework’s Long-Term Vulnerability Reduction capability. Hazard Mitigation Assistance Programs reduce community vulnerability to disasters and their effects, promote individual and community safety and resilience, and promote community vitality after an incident. Furthermore, Hazard Mitigation Assistance Programs reduce response and recovery resource requirements in the wake of a disaster or incident, which results in a safer community that is less reliant on external financial assistance. Hazard mitigation is the only phase of emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.
