The Maryland Department of Emergency Management has received a $6,560,622.97 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (CFDA 97.042). The EMPG program provides formula grants to strengthen and improve all-hazards emergency management capabilities across the country, including preparedness for disasters and emergencies that may result from climate change. This grant funding enables the Maryland Department of Emergency Management to deliver a wide range of emergency management services and activities, such as planning, training, exercises, personnel, equipment, and administrative costs.
The agency frequently issues sub-awards to county, municipal, tribal, and non-profit organizations in Maryland to execute localized emergency preparedness initiatives. Examples of sub-award activities include emergency management staffing, critical infrastructure protection, cybersecurity enhancements, hazard mitigation projects, interoperable communications systems, and public outreach campaigns. Many of these sub-awardees are county and municipal government entities across Maryland, such as the Prince George's County Office of Management and Budget, Harford County, and the City of Annapolis.
