Hazard Mitigation Program
The Hazard Mitigation Program develops plans and manages grants that reduce or
eliminate long-term risks to people and property. It is responsible for developing the Enhanced
Statewide Mitigation Plan, which identifies and ranks hazards and develops mitigation strategies for
each hazard.
Recovery Program
Focuses on helping communities impacted by disasters by
coordinating project applications, reviewing proposals, and overseeing grant distribution in compliance
with FEMA guidelines. The Grants team plays a crucial role in managing these diverse grants, from the
Public Assistance Program (PA)—which handles pre-award through closeout processes, conducts
damage assessments, and completes site visits—to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP),
responsible for post-award processes, technical assistance, reimbursements, and federal reporting.
Through these efforts, the program ensures communities are well-prepared and resilient against future
disasters.
State Public Assistance Program
The public assistance program provides supplemental Federal disaster grant assistance for the repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged, publicly owned facilities and the facilities of certain Private Non-Profit (PNP) organizations.
NDEM Grants Management
The Division of Emergency Management in Nevada manages the process of securing federal grants from the Department of Homeland Security.
As the State Administrative Agency (SAA) for distributing these funds, we provide financial support for equipment, planning, training, exercises, and management and administrative efforts across Nevada.
Preparedness grants focus on building and sustaining capabilities across state, local, tribal, and territorial jurisdictions.
