Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)

The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) is a federal initiative that provides funding to help communities reduce the risk of future disasters after a major disaster event. Administered by FEMA, the program supports projects like improving infrastructure, creating emergency plans, and investing in safer building practices. By funding these preventative measures, HMGP aims to lessen the impact of future disasters, making communities more resilient and better prepared to deal with emergencies. This helps save lives, protect property, and reduce recovery costs for communities affected by disasters.
