Mitigation - Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program Overview
| Announcing Opening of Anticipated 2012 Pre-Disaster Mitigation Application Cycle |
The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program is a nation-wide competitive grant program that was created to assist State and local governments, including Indian Tribe governments, with the funding to implement cost-effective hazard mitigation activities prior to disasters. The intent of this program is to reduce overall risk to people and property, while also minimizing the cost of disaster recovery.
Funding is restricted to a maximum of $3 million Federal share per project sub-application. The Federal share will cover 75% of the project cost. Sub-applicants are required to provide the remaining 25% in matching funds. All project submissions must have a Benefit Cost Analysis of 1 or greater.
