Hazard Mitigation Grant Program

The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program will assist local governments within eligible counties with their portion of the required match for FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.  FEMA’s HMGP requires a 25% non-federal match, the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency covers 10% of this match and the local governments are responsible for the remaining 15%. The disaster events of 2017 weakened revenues within these communities which were needed to pay the local match causing community recovery efforts to stall.
