About this opportunity
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is soliciting non-competitive grant applications through the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program's Individual State Earthquake Assistance (ISEA) program for Fiscal Year 2025. The grant targets states and territories with high to very high seismic risks, aiming to support earthquake hazards reduction programming, safety implementation, mitigation, and resilience activities at state and local levels. Eligible applicants must provide a 25% non-federal cost share, though this requirement is waived for certain insular areas like the U.S. Virgin Islands. All funded activities must align with the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program's (NEHRP) vision, mission, and strategic goals, which involves coordinated efforts across four federal agencies: FEMA, National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Science Foundation, and U.S. Geological Survey. Applications must be submitted through the FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) system by August 11, 2025, with the primary evaluation criteria focusing on the potential to enhance seismic safety and risk reduction capabilities.
The total expected funding for this grant opportunity is $2,094,650, with individual awards ranging from $50,000 to $963,000. The grant's period of performance will run from October 1, 2025, to March 31, 2027, providing an 18-month window for implementing earthquake-related activities. Eligible states will receive baseline funding plus additional risk-based awards, determined by factors such as Seismic Design Category, geographical area of high seismic risk, and Annualized Earthquake Loss. Allowable activities include seismic mitigation planning, infrastructure safety inspections, building code updates, public education, emergency management preparedness, and promoting earthquake insurance. Applicants must submit a comprehensive application package including a master schedule, grant budget, logic model, and statement of work.

FEMA awards non-competitive, grants to eligible states and territories with high to very high seismic risks to fund one or more of the following allowable activities. The purpose is to support the establishment of earthquake hazards reduction programming and the implementation of earthquake safety, mitigation, and resilience activities at the state and local level.
