Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 MT 047 000 99
The FY19 Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant is a FEMA program under the Department of Homeland Security that provides discretionary federal funding to help state, local, and tribal governments take steps to reduce long-term risk from natural hazards before disasters happen. The overall purpose is practical: fund cost-effective mitigation planning and projects that protect people and property, and in doing so, lessen future dependence on federal disaster assistance after an event. In other words, the program is aimed at strengthening communities ahead of time rather than paying primarily for recovery afterward.
Funding is structured in two main ways. First, FEMA provides set allocations required by the Stafford Act: each state and territory receives an allocation of $575,000, and there is also a $20 million tribal set-aside that supports allocations up to $575,000 for federally recognized Native American tribal governments. These allocations are intended to support overall mitigation planning and mitigation projects. Second, after those allocations are addressed, the remaining PDM funds are awarded competitively, with a stated emphasis on multi-state and tribal mitigation initiatives, meaning projects or planning efforts that involve coordination or benefit across multiple jurisdictions rather than being limited to a single community.
Eligible applicants include state governments and federally recognized tribal governments, with additional eligibility details implied by FEMA guidance for the program (the listing also references “others,” but the core eligible groups highlighted are states and tribes). Applications must be submitted through FEMA’s Mitigation eGrants system using the FEMA Grants Portal at https://portal.fema.gov, which is FEMA’s standard platform for mitigation grant submissions and tracking. The opportunity carries the CFDA number 97.047, which is the catalog identifier commonly used for FEMA mitigation assistance programs.
There are also clear limits on how many submissions an applicant can make. Each applicant may submit up to nine project sub-applications, and this cap applies regardless of any projects that might also be submitted under the state/territory allocation or the tribal set-aside. On top of that, if a state or tribe is willing to act as the applicant for a multi-state or tribal activity, it may submit one additional plan or project sub-application specifically for that multi-jurisdiction effort. This structure encourages applicants to prioritize their strongest, most cost-effective proposals while still leaving room for larger collaborative initiatives.
