Information

Mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. Mitigation is taking action now, before the next disaster, to reduce human and financial consequences later. Effective mitigation requires that we all understand local risks, address the hard choices and invest in long-term community well-being and resilience.

Without mitigation actions, we jeopardize our safety, financial security, and self-reliance. As the result of a Presidential Disaster Declaration, FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds plans and projects that reduce the effects of future natural disasters.

In California, these funds are administered by the Cal OES HMGP Unit. Eligible subapplicants include state agencies, local governments, special districts, and some private non-profits. To learn more about the HMGP, visit: FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance Guidance and the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance Guidance Addendum.

Eligibility

Nonprofit Public Agency Tribal Government

Eligible Subapplicants include state agencies, local governments, special districts, and Federally-recognized tribes. Subapplicants must have a FEMA-approved and locally adopted Local Hazard Mitigation Plan LHMP to be eligible for project grants.

If your agency or jurisdiction does not have a LHMP, you may apply for grant funding to develop one. Some private nonprofit organizations are eligible for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding.
