Notices of Funding Opportunities

Several of FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant programs have funding opportunities offered through a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

Primary Funding Programs

These programs support states, local communities, tribes and territories as they undertake hazard mitigation projects, reducing the risks they face from disasters and natural hazards.

Communities and Tribal governments who are interested in non-financial technical assistance may apply through the BRIC Direct Technical Assistance (BRIC DTA) initiative.

On December 29, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, authorizing funding for FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance Pre-Disaster Mitigation grant program. The Pre-Disaster Mitigation program makes federal funds available to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to plan for and implement sustainable cost-effective measures.

The Safeguarding Tomorrow RLF program complements and supplements FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant portfolio to support mitigation projects at the local government level and increase the nation’s resilience to natural hazards and climate change. These low interest loans will allow jurisdictions to reduce vulnerability to natural disasters, foster greater community resilience and reduce disaster suffering.

Other Grant Funding Opportunities

presidential major disaster declaration makes HMGP funds available if requested by a governor or tribal executive in eligible communities in a state, tribe or territory. The amount of funding is based on the estimated total federal assistance, subject to a sliding scale formula. Funding is based on the estimated total or aggregate cost of disaster assistance.

The Flood Mitigation Assistance Swift Current (Swift Current) effort provides funding to mitigate buildings insured through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) after a major disaster declaration following a flood-related disaster event to reduce risk against future flood damage. The Swift Current availability window accepts applications between June 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024.
