Program Guidance
(PDF Document) 382KB |
|
The purpose of the Assistance to
Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program is to award
one-year grants directly to fire departments
of a State to enhance their abilities with
respect to fire and fire-related hazards.
Our primary goal is to provide assistance to
meet fire departments’ firefighting and
emergency response needs. This program seeks
to support departments that lack the tools
and resources necessary to protect the
health and safety of the public and their
firefighting personnel with respect to fire
and all other hazards they may face. |

Emergency Management Performance Grants
(EMPG) |
|
|
|
Program Description |
|
To assist the development, maintenance, and
improvement of State and local emergency
management capabilities, which are key
components of a comprehensive national
emergency management system for disasters
and emergencies that may result from natural
disasters or accidental or man-caused
events. By combining former program
activities into the Emergency Management
Performance Grant (EMPG), FEMA is providing
States the flexibility to allocate funds
according to risk and to address the most
urgent State and local needs in disaster
mitigation, preparedness, response, and
recovery. Working within the standard
Federal government grant administration
process, EMPG provides the support that
State and local governments need to achieve
measurable results in key functional areas
of emergency management. |

Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant (PDM) |
|
|
Program Description
States are encouraged to use grants to
implement a sustained pre-disaster hazard
mitigation program to reduce risk to the
population, the costs and disruption to
individuals and businesses caused by severe
property damage, and the ever-growing cost
to all taxpayers of Federal disaster relief
efforts.
The program is similar to both the
Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program
and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
in that there is an emphasis on "brick and
mortar" mitigation projects and that State
and local mitigation plans are required
prior
to approval of mitigation project
grants. Allowable costs will be governed by
44 CFR
Part 13, Uniform Administrative
Requirements for Grants and Cooperative
Agreements to State and Local Governments
and OMB Circular A-87, Cost Principles for
State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments.
