Emergency Management Agency Maine

Emergency Management Agency Maine, a state government entity and child of the State of Maine, is the prime recipient of federal grants across FEMA disaster mitigation, preparedness, and homeland security programs, functioning as a pass-through grantee distributing federal funding to Maine's county governments, municipalities, tribal nations, and nonprofit organizations. The agency operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards, 169 total grants across all federal sources) with no federal contract activity or subcontracting role. It does not compete for or hold contracts on government-wide vehicles, IDIQs, or schedules.

EMAM's federal footprint concentrates heavily on FEMA programs. FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards account for 113 awards, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency issues 35 additional awards, covering 98% of the agency's award count. The Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration has issued 12 awards; the Department of Homeland Security, 4 awards; and the Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency, 1 award. The agency's combined obligation across all awards totals $7.9 billion since 2003.
