All Sub-Applicants applying for FMA or PDM project funding must have a FEMA approved local hazard mitigation plan in place to be eligible to apply.

Eligible applicants must apply for funding through the Mitigation e-Grants system on the FEMA Grants Portal, accessible at https://portal.fema.gov Applications for funding are reviewed on a nationally competitive basis. There are limited funds available for these programs. Applications whose main focus is in line with the highest Federal priorities have the most chance of being selected for further review.
