The Federal Emergency Management Agency has released a notice of funding opportunity for its Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant.
The notice is available at grants.gov.
These FEMA grant programs fund projects related to earthquakes, wildfires, floods, landslides and other natural hazards.
