Overview
Play a vital role in supporting state agencies by providing critical funding to enhance preparedness,
response, recovery, and mitigation efforts. Led by the Grant Portfolio Manager, these grants, often
funded through federal programs such as the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) or Emergency
Management Performance Grant (EMPG), enable agencies to build and sustain essential capabilities
that protect lives, property, and infrastructure. Grant funds are used for activities such as disaster
planning, training, exercises, public outreach, equipment purchases, and infrastructure upgrades. By
facilitating collaboration among local, state, tribal, and federal partners, emergency management grants
strengthen the overall resilience of communities and ensure readiness to address a wide range of
emergencies and disasters.
