Abstract: FEMA's Office of Grants Administration was created to oversee the programmatic management, financial management, and administration of non-disaster grants. Non-disaster grant programs help make the country more resilient and support the nation’s needs before, during, and after disasters. Non-disaster grants help develop and sustain capabilities at the state and local, tribal, and territorial levels to mitigate, prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorism or other high-consequence disasters and emergencies. Instruments in this collection are required to apply for FEMA funds; data collected via the instruments is used by FEMA to evaluate grant applications, assess applicant risk, monitor awards for compliance, and comply with Federal laws and regulations.
