Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant 2019

The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program makes Federal funds available to States, U.S Territories, Indian Tribal governments, and local communities to plan for and implement and sustain cost-effective measures designed to reduce the risk to individuals and property from natural hazards, while also reducing reliance on Federal funding from future disasters. The PDM program strengthens national preparedness and resilience and supports the mitigation mission area through Strategic Goal #1 Building a Culture of Preparedness, Objectives 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 of the 2018 – 2022 FEMA Strategic Plan. FEMA’s priorities for funding Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 PDM applications are outlined below. Greater detail on factors to be considered in the evaluation of applications is specified in Section E of this NOFO under Application Review Information. 

In Fiscal Year 2019, $250 million is available to assist state, tribal, territorial and local governments in reducing overall risk to the population and structures from future hazard events, while also reducing reliance on federal funding from future disasters.
