The program also supports hazard mitigation and code compliance initiatives to enhance community resilience and protect facilities from future incidents. This funding represents part of SEMA's comprehensive portfolio of over $150 million in recent federal grant awards dedicated to strengthening Missouri's emergency management infrastructure and disaster recovery capacity across all eligible jurisdictions and organizations within the state.
