FEMA – Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)

Learn More

FEMA Storm Siren Grants and Information can be found on the FEMA website.

FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant 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, future disaster losses in their communities. This grant funding is available after a presidentially declared disaster.

In this program, homeowners and businesses cannot apply for a grant. However, a local community may apply for funding on their behalf.

All state, local, tribal and territorial governments must develop and adopt hazard mitigation plans to receive funding for hazard mitigation project application.

  • Storm Sire Grants are available by a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration to a state, territory of federally recognized tribe.

  • Each state, territory or federally recognized tribe is considered the “applicant” and has a designated state agency that submits the application for funding.

  • Organizations such as cities, towns, villages, counties, and special districts are considered subapplicants and must submit subapplications to the state agency; tribal governments can also choose to be subapplicants.

  • All subapplicants must have a Hazard Mitigation Plan.

  • Requires non-federal cost share, usually 75% federal and 25% on-federal; non-federal portion can include cash, donated or third-party in-kind services, materials, or any combination thereof (for example, a local power company may be willing to donate the pole and/or installation of a siren; this would be considered “in-kind”)
