Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards provided the State of Wyoming, operating through the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security, with $5.45 million under the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program (CFDA 97.042). The award, obligated on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2026, supports the enhancement of emergency management capabilities and disaster preparedness across Wyoming. Under this one-year performance period, the funding enables the state agency to deliver emergency planning, training, exercises, personnel support, and equipment procurement activities designed to strengthen community resilience and address evolving emergency management threats, including those related to climate change.

The Wyoming Office of Homeland Security utilizes EMPG funding to administer comprehensive emergency preparedness and response services statewide, with implementation occurring through the office's headquarters in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The agency leverages this funding to support state and local emergency management initiatives, including potential sub-awards to local entities and conservation districts for community-level disaster mitigation, emergency protective measures, and critical infrastructure protection activities. These services align with the broader EMPG Program objectives of enhancing preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation capabilities across state and local government entities.
