The Public Assistance Program is FEMA’s largest grant program, providing funds to assist communities responding to and recovering from declared disasters. The program provides funding for both restoring community infrastructure and increasing resilience of disaster-damaged facilities.



FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs provides funding to eligible state, local, tribal, and territorial partners to reduce risk from many hazards. A state and/or local FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan is required to receive hazard mitigation assistance funding.
