Accelerating resiliency planning in communities across the Commonwealth
FEMA’s Local Mitigation Planning Handbook (Handbook) guides local governments, including special districts, as they develop or update a hazard mitigation plan.
Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide is FEMA’s official policy on and interpretation of the applicable statutes and mitigation planning regulations in 44 CFR Part 201. This policy applies to local governments that develop, update and implement local mitigation plans, as well as FEMA and state officials who review and approve those plans.
When an area has received a Presidential declaration of an emergency or major disaster, then its state, tribal, territorial and local governments — and certain types of private non-profits — may be eligible to apply for Public Assistance (PA).
Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) Program is available to states, local and tribal governments, for the mitigation, management, and control of fires on publicly or privately owned forests or grasslands, which threaten such destruction as would constitute a major disaster.
The National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) State Assistance Grant Awards provide assistance to encourage the establishment and maintenance of effective State programs intended to ensure dam safety, to protect human life and property, and to improve State dam safety programs.
FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program provides funding to state, local, tribal and territorial governments so they can develop hazard mitigation plans and rebuild in a way that reduces, or mitigates, future disaster losses in their communities.
The Flood Mitigation Assistance grant program is a competitive program that provides funding to states, federally recognized Tribal governments, U.S. territories, and local governments.
The Resilience Resources Gateway provides a one-stop-shop for resilience guidance, case studies, tools, and other materials that can be used to strengthen community and national resilience.
FEMA’s National Resilience Guidance focuses on actionable principles to create a more resilient nation from identifying threats to working collaboratively towards sustainable solutions.
