The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), awarded $27,342,079 on September 19, 2023 to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to enhance and sustain all-hazards emergency management capabilities across state and local governments in California. The EMPG Program supports a wide range of emergency management activities, including planning, training, exercises, personnel, equipment, and administrative costs to implement the National Preparedness System and build capabilities outlined in the National Preparedness Goal.
Through sub-awards to county, municipal, tribal, and non-profit organizations, Cal OES delivers funding to execute localized emergency preparedness initiatives such as disaster response planning, hazard mitigation, infrastructure resilience, cybersecurity enhancements, and public outreach campaigns. The program addresses evolving threats and risks associated with climate change, focusing on building or sustaining high-priority capabilities, closing capability gaps, and enhancing continuity capabilities.
