The State of Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management received a $2,849,248.73 Project Grant award on June 27, 2024 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (CFDA 97.039). The funding will support the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities across the state to enhance community resilience and minimize potential losses from future natural and human-caused hazards. As the state emergency management agency, the Division of Emergency Management often sub-awards portions of its FEMA grant funding to local governments, such as the City of Lakewood, to implement localized disaster mitigation projects. The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program is a critical FEMA initiative that provides substantial financial assistance to states, territories, and local communities to reduce long-term risks and strengthen emergency response capabilities.
