Opportunity Summary:
The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 FEMA 047 001; CFDA 97.047) is a FEMA discretionary grant program under the Department of Homeland Security focused on disaster prevention and relief through mitigation. Its purpose is to help communities reduce risk and potential losses from future disasters before they happen, and it is funded only to the extent Congress appropriates money and does not impose additional restrictions or directives on the use of those funds. The opportunity sits within FEMA Mitigation programming and can support a wide range of mitigation-related projects or initiatives, which may include geospatial or GIS-related components, though GIS is not required and not necessarily central to every funded activity.
Funding for this cycle was estimated at $90,000,000 nationwide, with an expected 75 awards and an award ceiling of $3,000,000 per award. The program uses a cost-share structure, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal matching funds. In general, the federal share can cover up to 75 percent of eligible project costs, while small and impoverished communities may qualify for a higher federal share of up to 90 percent, reducing the local match requirement and making participation more feasible for communities with limited resources.
Eligibility is structured so that the primary applicants are governmental entities operating at the state, territorial, commonwealth, or tribal level, rather than individual local jurisdictions applying directly to FEMA. Eligible applicants include state emergency management agencies or comparable state offices with primary emergency management or floodplain management responsibility, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), commonwealths (Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands), and federally recognized Indian Tribal governments (as defined in 44 CFR 201.2). Each state, territory, commonwealth, or tribal government must designate a single agency to act as the official applicant, which typically coordinates submissions and may pass funds through or sponsor subapplications from eligible local entities such as city or township governments, county governments, and other qualifying public jurisdictions.
Key administrative details for the posted opportunity include a Posted Date of June 23, 2009 (Creation Date June 24, 2009) and an application closing date of December 4, 2009, which was shared as the closing date across FEMA mitigation non-disaster programs at the time (including PDM, FMA, RFC, and SRL). The program listing was archived on January 3, 2010. Additional program information was referenced through FEMA at http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/pdm/index.shtm, and the notice provided a point of contact for access issues: Tony (Lloyd) Hake, phone 202-646-3428, email Lloyd.Hake@dhs.gov.
