Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) FY23 Overview
FY23 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) is a FEMA Preparedness Grant supporting emergency management activities with a 50% match requirement provided by ADEM sources. This grant alleviates the match mandate for local jurisdictions. The grant has specific due dates for performance reports, expense claims, IPPW, exercise completion, and training certificates. Program Paper outlines requirements and agreements, while applications must be signed before reimbursements. Training certificates such as HSEEP and IS-130 need to be obtained within 2 years. Quarterly Performance Reports are crucial for future year funding. Fulfilling these obligations ensures smooth processing and utilization of grant funds.
