The SAFER program (CFDA 97.083) provides direct funding to help communities meet industry minimum standards and attain 24-hour staffing to provide adequate protection from fire and fire-related hazards.

The SAFER program selects applications through a multi-phase, merit-based process in which the Criteria Development Panel, consisting of representatives from major fire service organizations, establishes program priorities; peer reviewers then evaluate narrative statements using weighted criteria including project description, impact on daily operations, financial need, and cost benefit; additional internal FEMA reviews assess completeness, technical feasibility, costs, and eligibility; and final selection is based on overall ranking, technical evaluation, and program office review to ensure alignment with program goals.
