Grant Details
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program is one of the grant programs that constitute DHS/FEMA’s focus on all-hazards emergency preparedness. The program aims to provide funds to assist state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies in implementing the National Preparedness System (NPS) and supporting the National Preparedness Goal.
The EMPG funds will address the increasing range and complexity of disasters, support the diversity of communities served, and complement the nation’s growing expectations of the emergency management community by building or sustaining high-priority capabilities identified through the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)/Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) process.
The program requires recipients to complete a THIRA/SPR. All EMPG Program applicants are required to develop and submit a Work Plan which will require final approval by the applicable FEMA Regional Administrator.
