Summary:
The purpose of this program is to help state, local, tribal, and territorial governments plan for and implement sustainable cost-effective measures designed to reduce the risk to individuals and property from future natural hazards, while also reducing reliance on federal funding from future natural disasters. The priorities of this program include risk reduction of both acute events and chronic stressors, which are either observed or expected.
Authorized projects generally include the following project types:
- Capability and capacity-building activities: activities that enhance the knowledge, skills, and expertise of the current workforce to expand or improve the administration of mitigation assistance; this includes activities in the subcategories of project scoping, hazard mitigation planning, and planning-related activities
- Hazard mitigation projects: cost-effective projects designed to increase resilience and public safety; reduce injuries and loss of life; and reduce damage and destruction to property, critical services, facilities, and infrastructure from a multitude of natural hazards, including drought, wildfire, earthquakes, extreme heat, and the effects of climate change
- Management costs: financial assistance to reimburse eligible and reasonable indirect costs, direct administrative costs, and other administrative expenses associated with a specific mitigation measure or project
Eligibility is limited to states, territories, and federally recognized tribal governments with projects that were identified in the Joint Explanatory Statement (JES) accompanying the funding agency's FY 2024 Appropriations Act. Refer to pages 55-60 of the NOFA file for a list of eligible projects.
