The Virginia Department of Emergency Management announced this week the receipt of hazard mitigation assistance funds from the FEMA.
These awards were received under the following grant programs: Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
“VDEM continues to strongly support local governments in meeting their risk reduction goals through the FEMA hazard mitigation assistance grants. We continue to see the development of innovative projects to protect public infrastructure, as well as projects that focus on protecting vulnerable populations, and promote economic development,” said State Coordinator of Emergency Management, Curtis Brown.
VDEM administers these federal funds on behalf of FEMA. The state does not provide matching funds for the PDM grants which are nationally competitive grant programs, but does contribute a state share for the HMGP grant projects.
