Jobs and Grants
- FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grants - The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) are inviting communities, state agencies, and tribal governments and territories to submit applications for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. This post-disaster funding is available as a result of the federal disaster declarations for the June 2011 Tornadoes and Tropical Storm Irene, but any community can apply, not just those affected by these disasters. Grants will assist applicants with hazard mitigation planning and the implementation of hazard mitigation projects to reduce or eliminate the loss of life and property due to natural hazards. Also, in January and February, MEMA has scheduled several grant briefings and technical assistance meetings across the state. These will provide applicants an opportunity to ask questions of the State Hazard Mitigation Team. CZM strongly encourages all potential applicants to attend one of these sessions. For complete grant details, see the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Memo (PDF, 87 KB). For more information, contact Scott MacLeod at scott.macleod@state.ma.us. Full applications are due by April 2.
