About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the National Weather Service Program Office is soliciting noncompetitive grants for the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program Grant Cycle 2025. The grant supports tsunami preparedness, mitigation, mapping, modeling, and warning coordination activities aligned with the NTHMP Strategic Plan for 2024-2029. Eligible applicants include states, territories, state universities with NTHMP Coordinating Committee representatives, tribes with land in tsunami inundation zones, and local governments through sub-awards. Priority activities include promoting tsunami resilience measures, supporting community outreach programs, developing planning guidelines, and supporting the NWS TsunamiReady Program. Key application deadlines are February 24, 2025, for pre-applications and August 13, 2025, for final applications, with evaluation criteria focused on operational applicability, scientific merit, technology transfer, researcher capabilities, and cost-effectiveness.
The grant offers up to $4,000,000 annually, with individual awards typically ranging from $170,000 to $725,000. The grant period runs from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, spanning a 12-month performance period. The program focuses on sustaining current tsunami preparedness activities rather than initiating new programs, with no cost-sharing requirements. Geographically, the grant targets coastal states and territories with tsunami risks, including California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Funding will be distributed through project grants and cooperative agreements to enhance community readiness and reduce potential loss of life and property damage from tsunami events.
Synopsis
Since Federal fiscal year 2008, Congress has authorized NOAA's National Weather Service to offer a grants program to support tsunami preparedness, mitigation, mapping, modeling, and warning coordination activities. Per terms of authorizing legislation, these grants have been made available only to agencies and organizations that have membership on the NTHMP Coordinating Committee as defined in the NTHMP Rules of Procedure. The legislation was updated in 2017 and financial support is available also to local governments and Indian tribes.
