The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Grant Program makes federal funds available to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to plan for and implement sustainable cost-effective measures designed to reduce the risk to individuals and property from future natural hazards, while also reducing reliance on federal funding from future natural disasters.
PDM aims to implement projects that reduce risks posed by natural hazards and reduce future losses, by funding priority projects and activities. Priorities include risk reduction of both acute events and chronic stressors, which are either observed or expected. To achieve these goals, for FY24 PDM, the 110 identified CDS projects prioritize the following types of activities infrastructure projects, those that mitigate risk to lifelines, and projects proposed by applicants that reduce reliance on federal disaster funding. FEMA will measure the percent of dollars invested in these priorities, which will indicate that PDM projects expect to meet the goal of reducing both risks posed by natural hazards and future losses.
The objective of the FY 2024 PDM Grant Program is to fund Community Project Funding Directed Spending (CDS) projects for state, local, tribal, and territorial government efforts to plan for, and implement sustainable cost effective measures designed to reduce the risk to individuals and property from future natural hazards, while also reducing reliance on federal funding from future disasters.
The authorized projects generally include the following project types:
- Project Scoping – process for subapplicants to develop effective mitigation alternatives based on a defined set of requirements that meet the stated purpose and need of the proposed project. The process includes activities such as identification and evaluation of technical feasibility, cost review, and cost effectiveness, as well as environmental and cultural resource considerations.
- Hazard Mitigation Projects (construction) – cost-effective projects designed to increase resilience and public safety; reduce injuries and loss of life; and reduce damage and destruction to property, critical services, facilities, and infrastructure, (including natural systems) from a multitude of natural hazards and the effects of climate change; and
- Management Costs – financial assistance to reimburse the recipient for eligible and reasonable indirect costs, direct administrative costs, and other administrative expenses associated with a specific mitigation measure or project in an amount up to 10 percent of the total federal amount of the grant award. There is no separate funding pool for Recipient Management Cost.
