[SEMCO] Announcing the Availability of Hazard Mitigation Grant Program - HMGP-4214

[White, Sarah (CDA)]

The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) are pleased to announce the availability of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funding. This post-disaster mitigation grant funding is now available statewide as a result of the federal disaster declaration for the January 2015 Severe Winter Storm.



The federally-funded Hazard Mitigation Grant Program provides significant opportunities to reduce, minimize, or eliminate potential damages to property and infrastructure from natural hazard events. Funding for hazard mitigation plans and projects can reduce overall risks to the population, structures and infrastructure, while also reducing the reliance on taxpayer-funded federal disaster assistance for disaster recovery.



Grant briefings will be held throughout the state and potential applicants are strongly encouraged to attend. Those dates and other details are contained in the attached MEMO.
