Tennessee Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)

The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) offers crucial funding to State, local, tribal, and territorial governments following presidentially declared disasters. To qualify, governments must have Hazard Mitigation Plans in place. The application process follows a timeline from disaster assessment to FEMA approval, with funding available for up to 48 months post-disaster. HMGP funds cover projects, planning, and management costs, supporting various mitigation measures like property acquisition and nature-based solutions. Advanced assistance expedites project development. Overall, HMGP enhances community resilience by mitigating future disaster risks.
