Detailed guidance is provided at: https://www.fema.gov/public-assistance-local-state- tribal-and-non-profit H.5 Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) provides grants to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures after declaration of a major disaster. The purpose of the HMGP is to reduce the loss of life and property due to natural disasters, and to enable mitigation measures to be implemented during the immediate recovery from a disaster. To qualify for HMGP funding, projects must provide a long-term solution to a problem, and the project's potential savings must exceed the cost of implementing the project. HMGP funds may be used to protect either public or private property, or to purchase property that has been subjected to, or is in danger of, repetitive damage. The amount of funding available for the HMGP under a particular disaster declaration is limited. Under the program, the federal government may provide a state or tribe with up to 20 percent of the total disaster grants awarded by FEMA under Stafford Act programs and may provide up to 75 percent of the cost of any projects approved under the program. In California, these funds are administered by the Cal OES Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Unit. Additional information on HMGP is available in the City's 2017 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
