The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) was awarded a $7,641,720.43 Formula Grant on September 12, 2024 under the Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program (CFDA 97.042) administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This federal grant funding supports PEMA's efforts to enhance emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation capabilities across the state of Pennsylvania. Key activities expected to be funded include emergency planning, training, exercises, personnel support, equipment procurement, and administrative costs related to emergency management infrastructure and resilience. As the primary recipient, PEMA will likely distribute sub-awards to county and local governments, universities, and nonprofits to implement specific emergency management projects and initiatives within their jurisdictions. The EMPG Program is a critical federal initiative that aims to strengthen comprehensive emergency management and climate resilience at the state and local levels.
