The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded a $10,579,284 Project Grant through the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program to the Alabama Emergency Management Agency (AEMA). This grant supports a wide range of emergency management activities designed to enhance disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts across Alabama.
Through this EMPG grant, AEMA implements critical programs and services to strengthen the state's overall disaster resilience and public safety capabilities. Key activities include repairing disaster-damaged facilities, executing hazard mitigation projects, developing emergency management plans, delivering training and exercises, and supporting safe transportation of radioactive waste. AEMA also provides sub-awards to local county and municipal governments in Alabama to sustain and enhance local emergency management capabilities. These sub-awards have funded equipment, operations, and services to improve emergency response, disaster recovery, and homeland security initiatives at the local level.
