The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded the Emergency Management Agency Maine a $298,583 Project Grant under the National Dam Safety Program (CFDA 97.041) to enhance dam safety across the state. The funding will support a range of activities, including conducting dam inspections, developing emergency action plans, providing technical assistance, and implementing infrastructure improvements for high-hazard potential dams. This 2-year grant award, effective June 20, 2024 through June 19, 2026, demonstrates FEMA's commitment to reducing risks to life, property, and the environment from potential dam failures in Maine. As a pass-through entity, the Emergency Management Agency Maine will strategically distribute sub-awards to county governments, municipalities, tribal nations, and nonprofit organizations to execute these critical dam safety initiatives statewide.
