Opportunity Summary:
The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program is a federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA. It is authorized under Section 203 of the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5133) and is meant to help communities take practical steps to reduce disaster risk before disasters happen. The program focuses on long-term, sustained natural hazard mitigation efforts that lower the overall risk to people, homes, public facilities, and other structures from future hazard events. A key goal is also financial: by investing in mitigation ahead of time, states and communities can reduce their dependence on large amounts of federal disaster assistance after an event occurs. FEMA notes that eligible projects or initiatives may involve geospatial or GIS-related work, which often supports risk identification, mapping, planning, and project targeting.
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant in the category of disaster prevention and relief, with mitigation as the primary purpose. The opportunity number is DHS-11-MT-047-000-99 and the CFDA number is 97.047 (Pre-Disaster Mitigation). FEMA anticipated making about 100 awards under this notice, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000,000. Individual awards could be as large as $3,000,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, meaning smaller awards may be possible depending on the project and selection decisions. A cost-share or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect that federal funds will need to be supplemented by non-federal contributions according to program rules.
Eligibility is geared toward government entities that are responsible for public safety and community resilience. Eligible applicants include state governments, territorial governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and local governments such as counties and cities or townships. The notice also indicates that additional categories may be eligible (referenced under an "Others" category with clarification in the full announcement), which typically means there may be special cases or partner arrangements allowed, but the primary targets are governmental jurisdictions and tribal governments that can carry out mitigation work for their communities.
The opportunity was posted on June 2, 2010, with the application window closing on December 3, 2010. The archive date is January 2, 2011, indicating this specific notice is no longer active, but it reflects the structure and intent of FEMA's PDM funding at that time. For further details, FEMA provided an information page at www.fema.gov/government/grant/hma/index.shtm, and applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to the FEMA Call Center at 866-927-5646, including the FEMA GPD Call Center support channel.
