FEMA announces nearly $1 billion in disaster preparedness grants for states and tribal nations
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced nearly $1 billion in disaster preparedness grants through 15 funding programs to help states and tribal nations improve readiness for natural disasters and human-caused incidents. Since July 25, the agency has offered over $2.2 billion in funding opportunities for state, local, tribal and territorial governments, according to FEMA.
To assist tribal emergency directors and managers, FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security will host a webinar on Thursday, Aug. 7, at 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Tribal leaders may register and submit up to three questions by 3 p.m. on Aug. 5. For more details, contact FEMA’s Tribal Affairs team at FEMA-Tribal@fema.dhs.gov.
