FEMA has opened applications for nearly $1 billion in funding through 15 grant programs aimed at strengthening disaster preparedness and resilience. The announcement follows internal discussions within the agency regarding possible reductions to several of these programs. Internal memos, first reported last week, outlined a proposal to streamline FEMA’s operations by narrowing the agency’s grant portfolio. However, the newly released Notices of Funding Opportunity affirm that these programs remain active and funded for the FY 2025 cycle.

Don't delay, readiness for fast application timeframes is critical. All published Notices of Funding Opportunity are available on Grants.gov. A selection of open programs includes:

• Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP)
• Port Security Grant Program
• Transit Security Grant Program
• State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program
• Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program
• Emergency Food and Shelter Program
• National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Assistance
• National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium
• Continuing Training Grant Program
• National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP)
• State Fire Training Assistance
