Homeland security grant program

The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded the Nevada Office of Emergency Management $13,321,646 under the Homeland Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.067) on October 1, 2025, for a period of performance ending September 30, 2026.

The Nevada Office of Emergency Management, a state agency operating as the Division of Emergency Management Reorganization, receives and distributes HSGP funds across statewide emergency preparedness, terrorism prevention, and disaster response initiatives. The award supports state, local, tribal, and territorial efforts to achieve core capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, mitigating, and responding to acts of terrorism, as outlined in the program's statutory mandate under the Homeland Security Act of 2002.

Place of performance is Carson City, Nevada. The Nevada Office of Emergency Management serves as the prime grant recipient and pass-through entity, distributing sub-awards to counties, municipalities, tribal governments, nonprofits, and local agencies throughout the state to implement localized emergency management projects including infrastructure hardening, emergency operations center upgrades, hazard mitigation planning, and public alert system modernization. The award is a formula grant, with allocation determined by legislative minimum thresholds and DHS/FEMA risk methodology applied to eligible jurisdictions.
