Federal Grant Award Summary

The Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes received a $161,207 Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Homeland Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.067) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028. This three-year award supports the tribe's efforts to enhance homeland security preparedness and resilience capabilities in Poplar, Montana, consistent with the HSGP's objective to fund state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) entities in preventing terrorism and preparing for threats and hazards that pose significant risk to U.S. security.

Under this award, the Fort Peck Tribes will develop and implement projects aligned with core homeland security capabilities in prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery. The funding enables the tribe to build sustainable security capabilities through investments such as emergency planning, training, equipment acquisition, and critical infrastructure protection initiatives. As a federally recognized tribal government with demonstrated experience managing federal grants across multiple sectors including public safety and emergency management, the tribe will utilize these resources to address capability gaps identified through their Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process and advance their preparedness objectives consistent with FEMA's evaluation criteria requiring alignment with National Incident Management System (NIMS) guidelines and Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) agreements.
