Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and HMGP Post Fire

How it works

The State of Alaska’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management says it currently has two FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs available in Alaska: Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and HMGP Post Fire. The programs are intended to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards, and the state specifically notes that these programs can support mitigation projects after disaster events.

What the money covers

The state’s mitigation page describes eligible activities broadly and includes wildfire-related vegetation management. The page also states that HMGP and HMGP Post Fire can support mitigation measures that reduce future natural-disaster losses.

Amounts and matching

The state page states a cost share requirement of 75% federal and 25% non-federal for HMGP and HMGP Post Fire. It notes that state agencies provide the 25% match. No homeowner payment amount is stated.

How to apply

The page is a program overview rather than a homeowner application page. It identifies the program as FEMA hazard-mitigation assistance administered through the State of Alaska.

Timing and deadlines

No single standing homeowner deadline is listed on the overview page. These programs are tied to disaster declarations and associated application windows.
