Opportunity Summary:
The FY16 Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 16 MT 047 000 99; CFDA 97.047) is a discretionary FEMA grant program under the Department of Homeland Security designed to help governments take action before disasters happen. The main purpose is to fund cost-effective mitigation planning and projects that reduce risk to people and property from natural hazards. By investing in measures that lessen future disaster impacts, the program also aims to reduce long-term dependence on federal disaster assistance after events occur.
Funding is structured in two primary ways. First, FEMA provides formula-like allocations tied to the Stafford Act: each state and territory can receive an allocation of $575,000, and there is a separate tribal set-aside of $10 million to support allocations of up to $575,000 for federally recognized Native American Indian tribal governments. These allocations are meant to support overall mitigation planning and mitigation projects. After these required allocations and set-aside amounts, the remaining PDM funds are distributed through a competitive process, with a stated emphasis on Climate Resilient Mitigation Activities, signaling that proposals that explicitly strengthen resilience to climate-related and future-looking hazard conditions are intended to be prioritized in the competition.
Eligible applicants include state governments and federally recognized tribal governments, with additional eligibility detail implied for other entities through the program guidance (the listing notes "Others" with clarification in an additional eligibility field). The program’s overall intent is to reach state, local, and tribal levels, but applications are formally submitted through eligible applicants using FEMA’s systems and rules.
Applications must be submitted through FEMA’s Mitigation eGrants system using the FEMA Grants Portal at https://portal.fema.gov. The opportunity sets clear packaging limits: an applicant may submit up to 19 sub-applications total, and that total can include up to one management cost sub-application intended to cover applicant management costs. Within the remaining sub-applications focused on mitigation activities (up to 18), the applicant can include no more than eight project sub-applications, which effectively caps how many distinct project proposals can be put forward under a single applicant’s submission.
Key administrative details include a posting and creation date of February 10, 2016, and an application deadline of June 15, 2016. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $15,000,000, and FEMA anticipated making around 200 awards. Overall, this opportunity is aimed at building stronger, safer communities by funding well-justified mitigation plans and projects ahead of disasters, with special attention in the competitive pool to activities that improve climate resilience.
