✔ Emergency plans
✔ Cybersecurity upgrades
✔ Rescue training
✔ Infrastructure protection

π️ Who Can Apply?
-
State and local governments
-
Tribal governments
-
U.S. territories
-
Nonprofits (in some cases)
π Not for individuals — but it directly impacts your schools, hospitals, and emergency responders.
π‘ Why This Matters Now
-
The money is real — and limited
Billions are available, but deadlines are strict. No rollover. Use it or lose it. -
Weather is getting worse
From hurricanes to wildfires to floods, disasters are more intense and more frequent. Communities that plan ahead suffer less. -
It’s not just for “big cities”
Small towns, school districts, and tribal communities are included. Don’t wait to find out you were eligible after the deadline.
π¨ Key Programs at a Glance
| Program | What It Does |
|---|---|
| EMPG | Funds emergency management staff & communication tools |
| USAR | Supports urban search & rescue teams for disasters |
| NSGP | Helps religious and nonprofit organizations upgrade physical security |

π§ Final Thought
These grants aren’t just about money — they’re about saving lives.
If your local school, fire station, or city planner isn’t talking about FEMA’s preparedness funds...
π¬ Maybe it’s time to share this.
π’ Be the voice that helps your community get ready before the next emergency hits.
