| Hazard Mitigation Grant Prog. |
|
Stafford Act Section 404 grants (Hazard Mitigation Grant Program) are available on a competitive, demonstration and/or fast-track basis for eligible mitigation projects that would reduce future disaster losses in those counties that have received a Presidential Major Disaster declaration. If elected by the state, federal funding can also be made available for hazard mitigation measures statewide. These grants require that an applicant provide a non-federal share of no less than 25% of the contracted grant amount. The non-federal share may be met with cash or soft, in-kind services.
