Opportunity Summary:
The FY2013 Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDM) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under Funding Opportunity Number DHS-13-MT-047-000-99. It was authorized by Section 203 of the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5133) and focused on helping communities take hazard mitigation actions before disasters occur. The central purpose was to reduce long-term risk to people and the built environment from future natural hazard events, and to lessen future dependence on federal disaster assistance by investing in mitigation ahead of time.
In practical terms, the program supported a sustained, pre-disaster natural hazard mitigation approach rather than one-off emergency response activities. The intent was to encourage states, territories, tribal governments, and local jurisdictions to plan for hazards and implement cost-effective measures that would reduce vulnerability and expected losses from events such as floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and similar natural hazards. By funding mitigation in advance, the program aimed to decrease damages, disruptions, and recovery costs when disasters eventually occur.
This opportunity fell under CFDA number 97.047 (Pre-Disaster Mitigation) and used the grant funding instrument type. A cost share or matching requirement applied, meaning recipients generally needed to contribute non-federal funds or eligible in-kind resources toward the total project cost, consistent with FEMA grant rules for mitigation programs.
Funding available for the FY2013 cycle was estimated at $23,700,000 total. Individual awards could be as large as $3,000,000, and the stated award floor was $0, indicating that award sizes could vary widely depending on the proposal and selection decisions. The grant was posted on July 17, 2013 (with a creation date of July 18, 2013). The original application deadline was September 3, 2013, later extended to October 18, 2013. The opportunity was archived on November 17, 2013.
Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and U.S. territories. The program was structured to reach a broad range of public-sector applicants responsible for community safety and infrastructure, reflecting FEMA's emphasis on mitigation investments that benefit the public and reduce future disaster impacts at the community and regional levels.
