Can a community or county apply for a Hazard Mitigation Planning Grant that is less than $15,000?
Yes. Some communities face less significant hazard risks than others and the development of their plan will require less financial resources. Communities that need less than the standard $15,000 grant are encouraged to ask for less when they submit a planning grant application. If a community receives a planning grant, the grant agreement requires that the funds be devoted towards the development of a complete Hazard Mitigation Plan.
