Homeland Security Grants

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provides Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) funding to support the key components of a comprehensive national emergency management system for disasters and emergencies. The EMPG Program is the primary federal funding source available to local and tribal governments to increase their operational capability for all-hazard emergency management. Financial assistance is provided on a matching basis to jurisdictions for maintaining and improving emergency management organizations. A central objective of this program is to ensure that trained, experienced, professional personnel are present in each eligible jurisdiction. In Federal Fiscal Year 2008, DHS’s EMPG Program awarded $5,878,853 to Washington State to sustain and enhance the effectiveness of state, local and tribal emergency management programs.
