The Virginia Department of Emergency Management announced this week the receipt of pre-disaster funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
These awards were received under the Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Flood Mitigation Assistance funding from the FY 2019 competitive cycle.
“VDEM continues to strongly support local governments in meeting their risk reduction goals through the FEMA hazard mitigation assistance grants. In addition to reducing the risk, the city of Roanoke’s project will add to the already existing Lick Run greenway project, which has environmental and social benefits for the community,” State Coordinator of Emergency Management Curtis Brown said.
VDEM administers these federal funds on behalf of FEMA. The state does not provide matching funds for the PDM or FMA grants which are nationally competitive grant programs.
