HAZARD MITIGATION
GRANT PROGRAM (HMGP)

The purpose of the HMGP is to create the opportunity to take critical mitigation measures by providing a funding source in the immediate post-disaster atmosphere, when recognition of potential hazards is often highest.

Although federally funded, the HMGP is administered by the Arizona Division of Emergency Management (ADEM).

MINIMUM PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
Eligible applicants include state, county, local and federally recognized tribal governments; publicly owned special districts and registered private non-profit organizations.  Tribal governments must apply directly to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). 

All jurisdictions who apply for HMGP funding must participate in, and be in good standing with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).  Additionally, the jurisdiction must have a FEMA approved multi-hazard mitigation plan.

ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
Eligible projects include, but are not limited to:

INELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
Ineligible projects include, but are not limited to:

COST SHARE REQUIREMENTS
Funding for the HMGP is a 75/25 federal/non-federal source. The applicant’s contributions can be a cash match or in-kind services.

BENEFIT-COST ANALYSIS/COST-EFFECTIVENESS
To be eligible, projects submitted must have a benefit-cost ratio of greater than or equal to 1.0 to be considered for funding. Applicants are responsible for completing the Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) using the BCA Toolkit (developed by FEMA and supplied by ADEM upon request). Gathering credible documentation to support the BCA may be a rather lengthy process, so be sure to allot plenty of time to this endeavor.
