Announcements

A new Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) round is now available in Washington State through the federal Major Disaster Declaration DR-4682-WA, which was declared on Jan. 12, 2023, for severe storms, strait-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides that occurred in November 2022. HMGP grants are not intended for response or recovery actions. Instead, they fund activities that reduce the long-term, future impacts of natural disasters. WA State Emergency Management Division (WA EMD) is responsible for coordinating with FEMA to administer this grant round.
While HMGP grants are available to eligible entities statewide, funding priority for this round will be given to the below-listed jurisdictions specifically named in FEMA’s DR-4682 disaster declaration, including all eligible entities located within them. Prioritized entities must still meet all eligibility requirements and submission deadlines.

Clallam County

Island County

Jefferson County

Lewis County

Okanogan County

Skagit County

Skamania County

Snohomish County

Wahkiakum County

Eligible entities are invited to submit Pre-Applications expressing their interest in applying for grant funding under the DR-4682 HMGP Round. Pre-applications will not be accepted after the deadline: June 9, 2023. See the documents below for more information:
