Are You Leaving Precious Dollars on the Table When it Comes to Hazard Mitigation Planning?

If your Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) is out of date—they expire every five years—you certainly are. Only states, territories and tribes with current, FEMA-approved HMPs are eligible to receive funds through the Agency’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Program. And, these precious dollars can go a long way toward supporting mitigation activities to strengthen the resilience of your whole “community.”

In 2018 alone, FEMA awarded 1,598 grants totaling more than $930 million.
