HMA Monitoring and Closeout Guidance

The purpose of these Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Grant Closeout Field Guides and Closeout Checklists are to provide all FEMA staff, recipients, and subrecipients with a consistent process for the closeout of HMA mitigation activities. The field guides and checklists have been designed as a reference tool to explain the roles and processes needed to implement grant closeout activities for non-disaster and post-disaster HMA grants funded after the publication of the 2015 Hazard Mitigation Assistance Guidance. The field guides and checklists are applicable to all five HMA grant programs: 

  • Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC)
  • Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program
  • Flood Mitigation Assistance
  • Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL)
  • Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC)
  • Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program
  • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
  • HMGP Post Fire
