The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) released Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) for 15 grant programs, making nearly $1 billion available to communities across the country. These funds will enable states and Tribal Nations to strengthen their preparedness for natural disasters such as wildfires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes, as well as human-caused incidents including terrorist attacks and cyber disruptions. Since Friday, July 25, FEMA has announced more than $2.2 billion in total funding opportunities for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments working to safeguard their communities.

To support Tribal Emergency Directors and Managers in navigating these funding opportunities, FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will host a webinar for tribal leaders, Tribal Emergency Management Directors, and Managers on Thursday, August 7, at 2:00 p.m. ET.

Questions for the Q&A portion of the webinar may be submitted via the registration form no later than 3:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, August 5. Participants may submit up to three questions. Any technical or unanswered questions may also be directed to FEMA Regional Grants Program Officers.
