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

The State of Idaho Military Division received a $287,382.69 Project Grant award on May 12, 2025, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) Program (CFDA 97.046). This award supports the repair and replacement of disaster-damaged facilities in Boise, Idaho, and enables the Division to deliver emergency management services related to wildfire response and recovery efforts. As authorized under the Stafford Act, the FMAG Program provides supplemental financial assistance to state and local governmental entities for mitigation, management, and control of fires that threaten to become major disasters.

The Division utilized grant funding to support strike team operations through a sub-award arrangement, leveraging its role as a critical interface between federal agencies and local emergency response infrastructure. This funding enables the Division to implement federally-supported wildfire management initiatives at the community level while supporting emergency protective measures and infrastructure restoration in fire-affected regions of Idaho.
