Hazard Mitigation Grant Opportunity

Posted: August 3, 2009

The New York State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) is pleased to announce the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Fiscal Year 2010 Unified Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Program.  The Unified HMA Program consolidates the deadlines and many of the procedures for four FEMA mitigation grant programs:

• the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDM)
• the Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMA)
• the Repetitive Flood Claims Program (RFC)
• the Severe Repetitive Loss Program (SRL).

These grants can be used for a variety of planning and project grants, and you are encouraged to review your existing hazard mitigation planning documents to identify potential projects.  The following documents are posted for your consideration:

• A cover letter
• FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program Guidance
• FEMA’s Grant Comparison Guide
• A Letter of Intent (LOI) to be completed and returned to SEMO by interested potential sub-applicants

Please note that 5:00 pm on Monday, August 17, 2009 is the deadline for faxing LOIs to SEMO at 518-322-4983.

Should you have any questions or need further information regarding this program, please call SEMO Mitigation directly at (518) 292-2370.
