Program details

How it works

Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management describes FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs as funding opportunities for pre-disaster and post-disaster mitigation. Iowa says the grants go to eligible applicant states, tribes, and territories, which then provide subgrants to local governments.

What the money covers

The page describes three sub-programs: the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA). It says the goal is to reduce or eliminate potential losses through hazard mitigation planning and project grant funding.

Amounts and matching

No dollar cap or matching percentage is stated on the Iowa page reviewed.

How to apply

Iowa says applications are handled through HSEM, including a Notice of Interest (NOI) process and EMGrantsPro. The page also says documents outlining the application process are available upon request.

Timing and deadlines

HMGP funding becomes available only when a Presidential Disaster Declaration is made. BRIC and FMA funding are available annually.
