The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $264,795 Project Grant to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) under the Meteorologic and Hydrologic Modernization Development program (CFDA 11.467). The funding will support CNMI HSEM in implementing activities to build on existing capabilities and complete projects initiated under previous grant awards that were hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic and recent devastating typhoons. The grant period runs from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024. The award will enable CNMI HSEM to continue delivering a wide range of goods and services aimed at enhancing preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation capabilities for various hazards and disasters, particularly tsunamis, in the Northern Mariana Islands.

For the FY 23 nthmp grant cycle, cnmi hsem will implement activities that will not only build on its current capabilities, but will also allow for the completion of projects initiated in previous grant awards that were otherwise hindered by the covid-19 pandemic, and also by the devastating typhoons that have struck our islands in recent years.
