FEMA's hazard mitigation assistance provides funding for eligible long-term solutions that reduce the impact of disasters in the future.
Mitigation planning and actions break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.

States, communities, territories and tribal communities are eligible for a variety of grant funding depending on which type of disaster is affecting their community.
The Hazard Mitigation Assistance program provides grant funding for communities looking to protect against losses from disasters, and in advance of disasters. Review program resources and notices of funding opportunities.
States can apply for Hazard Mitigation Assistance funding as primary applicants. Local communities often apply as subapplicants through the state process.
Federally recognized tribes can apply through the state they are in or else directly through the HMA program or funding opportunity of interest and do not need to apply as subapplicants under the state. Tribal Nations may, however, apply as subapplicants if they choose to do so.
Resources and training are available to help applicants and subapplicants throughout the process of applying for Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants.
