State and Local Governments

This program reduces or eliminates the risk of eligible high hazard potential dams (HHPD). Funds will be made available to eligible states for pass-through to nonfederal governmental organizations or nonprofit organizations for the rehabilitation of HHPD listed in the National Inventory of Dams with a condition assessment of poor or unsatisfactory and dams in fair condition with a population at risk (PAR) at or above 1,000. Eligible applicants are states with a state dam safety program that is authorized by state legislation and a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-approved state mitigation plan that includes all dam risks and complies with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. Local governments and nonprofits may apply as sub applicants through their state specific process.

The purpose of this program is to improve emergency management and preparedness capabilities by supporting flexible, sustainable, secure, strategically located, and fully interoperable emergency operations centers with a focus on addressing identified deficiencies and needs. Eligible applicants are state administrative agencies (SAAs) applying on behalf of state and local units of government, and tribal governments with projects identified to receive funding through this program.
