Grant to local government for repair or replacement of disaster damaged facilities

This Project Grant award, totaling $173,205.05, was provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) Program (CFDA 97.046) on September 10, 2024. The funding is for the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities related to the Washington Horsethief Butte Fire.

The grant has two sub-awards. The first sub-award of an unspecified amount was provided to the Washington State Patrol (WSP) to support law enforcement services, information systems access, and specialized security operations in response to the fire. The second sub-award, also of unspecified amount, was provided to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to fund forest management, wildfire mitigation, and habitat restoration activities associated with the fire event. These sub-awards demonstrate the collaborative approach between state agencies and FEMA to address the emergency through a range of emergency response, recovery, and natural resource management efforts.
