Grantees administer the Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program, which is a post-disaster program that
contributes funds toward the cost of hazard mitigation activities
in order to reduce the risk of future damage hardship, loss or
suffering in any area affected by a major disaster. FEMA uses
applications to provide financial assistance in the form of grant
awards and, through grantee quarterly reporting, monitor grantee
project activities and expenditure of funds.
