The CA Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) has
announced the 2021
Notice of Funding Opportunity for FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation
Grant Program (HMGP).
The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program provides funding for
communities to implement mitigation activities to reduce risk to
life and property from natural hazards. In CA, natural hazards
include wildfire, earthquake, drought, extreme weather, flooding,
and other impacts of climate change. HMGP funding can also
support the development of Local Hazard Mitigation Plans (LHMP)
and project scoping activities. Projects must be eligible,
feasible, and cost-effective per
FEMA’s
Hazard Mitigation Assistance Guidance. Projects must be
stand-alone activities that will reduce risk as their primary
benefit, but Cal OES strongly encourages the submission of
projects that achieve multiple benefits.
Please review the
Notice of Funding Opportunity for further details
including information about project and subapplication
eligibility, funding priorities, due dates, and more. This
information and additional resources are also available on the
Cal OES website.
