Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs awarded $232,013 to The Alamo Navajo School Board Inc. on November 15, 2025, under the Aid to Tribal Governments program (CFDA 15.020) to sustain critical rural radio operations supporting the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The one-year project, concluding November 14, 2026, provides essential funding to maintain emergency communication infrastructure serving the Alamo Navajo community in Alamo, New Mexico. This award enables the tribal entity to preserve vital EAS operational capabilities that support emergency preparedness and community safety in rural tribal areas where such infrastructure is frequently limited.

Under the Aid to Tribal Governments program, which provides financial support to enhance tribal administrative capabilities and operational infrastructure, this project grant specifically addresses the maintenance and sustainability of communication systems critical to emergency response and public notification. The funding supports general tribal government operations and infrastructure necessary to effectively serve the community during emergencies, consistent with the program's objective to strengthen tribal governance structures and operational resilience.
