Objective
The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Multi-State and National Earthquake Assistance (MSNEA) grant program makes funds available to nonprofit organizations and institutions of higher education that possess the critical skills necessary to develop and implement regional (multi-state) and/or national earthquake risk mitigation activities.
FEMA recognizes that earthquakes cannot be prevented, but their impacts on life, property, and the economy can be managed. The MSNEA grant program prioritizes reducing the risks to life and property from future earthquakes in the U.S. through the establishment and maintenance of an effective earthquake hazards reduction program.
All activities funded by the MSNEA grant program must be consistent with the NEHRP vision, mission, and strategic goals.

Beneficiary Eligibility
This NOFO and any subsequent Federal awards create no rights or causes of action for any participant or beneficiary.
