Cooperating technical partners

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded a $350,000 Project Grant under the Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program (CFDA 97.045) to the Natural Hazard Mitigation Association (NHMA), a non-profit organization, for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026.

The grant funding will enable NHMA to provide technical services and advisory support to FEMA and other federal agencies to enhance national preparedness and resilience against flooding hazards. Key activities include developing flood risk mapping, conducting community risk assessments, creating mitigation strategies, and coordinating cross-sector working groups focused on disaster resilience. NHMA has previously worked as a sub-grantee with academic institutions to deliver grant-funded activities such as policy recommendations, external working group facilitation, expert reviews of planning documents, and developing tools and strategies for community and infrastructure risk reduction within watershed contexts.
