The National Park Service (NPS) awarded a Cooperative Agreement totaling $250,886.88 to the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions, Inc. (NAPC) under the Cultural Resources Management program (CFDA 15.946) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028. Under this agreement, NAPC will provide comprehensive training, technical resources, and dissemination support to state, tribal, and local communities affected by natural disasters that are eligible for FY2025 Emergency Supplemental Historic Preservation Fund Program funding. The organization will deliver capacity-building initiatives and guidance to help these communities identify and preserve historic resources in disaster-affected areas.

The deliverables encompass both direct training and technical assistance services designed to support disaster-resilient cultural resource stewardship at the community level. NAPC will develop and deploy educational resources and provide ongoing technical support to state, tribal, and local governments to enhance their ability to inventory, assess, and protect historic properties in the aftermath of natural disasters. This three-year initiative aligns with the NPS mandate to preserve the nation's cultural and historical resources while supporting evidence-based management practices and tribal consultation in underserved, disaster-impacted communities across the United States.

Work to be completed under this task agreement includes providing training and resources to state, tribal, and local communities affected by natural disasters eligible for FY2025 emergency supplemental historic preservation fund program funding as well as dissemination, deployment, and technical support to support identification and preservation of historic resources in the face of natural disasters in affected communities.
