Homeland security preparedness technical assistance program

The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) was awarded a $200,000 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (CFDA 97.007) with a period of performance from Sep 20, 2024 to Sep 19, 2025.

Under this grant, the NGA Center will deliver technical assistance, educational materials, and resources to enhance emergency management and homeland security preparedness capabilities across state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. Key activities will include producing written products, conducting seminars and workshops, facilitating stakeholder discussions, and convening forums to address critical homeland security and emergency management challenges. The NGA Center frequently collaborates with sub-award partners such as Research Triangle Institute, The Johns Hopkins University, The Council of State Governments, and the National Criminal Justice Association to execute these complex, multi-dimensional projects.
