The State of Florida Division of Emergency Management received a $4,149,207 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on August 29, 2024. The EMPG Program (CFDA 97.042) provides funding to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to enhance and sustain comprehensive emergency management capabilities.
The Division of Emergency Management will utilize this Formula Grant funding to support a wide range of emergency preparedness and response activities across Florida, including emergency planning, training, exercises, personnel support, equipment procurement, and administrative costs related to emergency management infrastructure and resilience. Additionally, the Division will provide sub-awards to county and municipal governments, state agencies, nonprofits, and other local partners to implement on-the-ground emergency management projects such as debris removal, infrastructure repairs, security enhancements, and public health emergency response capabilities. These efforts aim to improve Florida's overall disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts.
