While the posting is framed for Region 5, eligibility is specified as state governments, reflecting the program structure in which states typically apply as the primary recipients and then support local and tribal preparedness activities consistent with program guidance and statewide strategy.
A key requirement of this opportunity is cost sharing or matching, meaning recipients must provide a non-federal share in addition to the federal award.
