Hazard Mitigation Grants

Hazard Mitigation Grants are provided to States, Indian tribal governments, and communities so that cost-effective measures are taken to reduce the effects of hazards and/or vulnerability to future disaster damage.

Hazard mitigation grant programs include:

• Hazard Mitigation Grant Program - The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) becomes available following Presidential Disaster Declarations, such as the January 2009 Severe Storms. 
  • DR-1817 HMGP Information and Letters of Intent
    • Invitation to Submit Letter of Intent to Apply for HMGP Assistance
    • HMGP Fact Sheet
    • Letter of Intent for a new or revised hazard mitigation plan
    • Letter of Intent for a mitigation project
    • Program timeline
      
      
• Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Program - The Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant program provides funding for cost-effective measures to reduce or eliminate the long term risk of flood damage to buildings, manufactured homes, and other structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
• Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program - The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program provides funds for hazard mitigation planning and the implementation of mitigation projects prior to a disaster.
• Repetitive Flood Claims Grant Program -  The Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) program provides funding to acquire structures insured under NFIP that have had one or more flood damage claim payments and are located within a state or community that cannot meet the requirements of the FMA program for either cost share or capacity to manage activities.
• Severe Repetitive Loss Grant Program – The Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) program provides funding to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to NFIP-insured structures that meet the definition of severe repetitive loss properties.
