Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 22 MT 047 00 99
The Fiscal Year 2022 Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Grant Program is a FEMA grant under the Department of Homeland Security that provides federal funding to help governments take action before disasters happen. Its core purpose is to support planning and on-the-ground mitigation projects that are sustainable, practical, and cost-effective, with the goal of reducing long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards. By investing ahead of time, the program is also designed to lower future dependence on federal disaster assistance after emergencies, shifting communities toward prevention rather than repeated recovery.
For FY 2022, the program makes available a total of $153,922,408. This funding is specifically tied to projects listed in the FY22 Consolidated Appropriations Act Joint Explanatory Statement (Division F), in the section labeled "Community Project Funding and Congressionally Directed Spending." In other words, the money is allocated to projects that were identified through that congressional funding process, rather than being an open-ended pool for any mitigation proposal.
Eligible applicants include state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the program is intended to benefit state, local, tribal, and territorial communities through mitigation planning and implementation. The assistance is offered as a discretionary grant (not a formula entitlement), and it falls under CFDA 97.047. The funding opportunity number for this specific notice is DHS-22-MT-047-00-99. The original application closing date listed for this opportunity was June 24, 2022.
The activities supported by PDM span both planning and project execution. On the project side, FEMA emphasizes measures that reduce risk to "Community Lifelines" and critical infrastructure, reflecting a focus on keeping essential services functioning during and after disasters. The program also supports "project scoping" efforts, which are the front-end activities that help communities define, evaluate, and design mitigation projects so they are technically feasible, cost-effective, and ready for implementation. These scoping and planning investments are important because they help communities move from broad risk awareness to specific, actionable projects.
Strategically, the FY 2022 PDM program is framed as part of broader federal resilience and preparedness goals. It aligns with the 2020-2024 DHS Strategic Plan, especially Goal 5 (Strengthen Preparedness and Resilience) and Objective 5.1 (Build a National Culture of Preparedness). The program most directly supports Sub-Objective 5.1.1 by incentivizing investments that reduce risk and expand pre-disaster mitigation, including efforts that may encourage better risk management through insurance. Beyond that, the program connects to other preparedness sub-objectives through planning and partnership work: it can strengthen public awareness and encourage preparedness actions (5.1.2), apply lessons learned from prior disasters and exercises to inform smarter investments (5.1.3), and improve continuity of operations coordination through partnerships across government and non-government stakeholders (5.1.5).
The opportunity is also positioned within FEMA's 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, which focuses on meeting the growing complexity of disasters and better serving diverse communities. Within that framework, PDM supports FEMA Goal 2 (Lead Whole of Community in Climate Resilience) by funding mitigation that anticipates and reduces climate-driven and other hazard risks, and Goal 3 (Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and a Prepared Nation) by improving preparedness outcomes before disasters occur. Overall, the FY 2022 PDM program is presented as a prevention-focused funding stream aimed at strengthening resilience, protecting lifelines and infrastructure, and helping communities make smarter, earlier investments that reduce future disaster impacts and costs.Apply for DHS 22 MT 047 00 99
