FEMA has updated the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program and Policy Guide to make it more user-friendly. 

The update consolidates information and eligibility requirements for Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) projects addressing air quality, drought, extreme temperatures, wildfire and wind.  It also reflects recent policy changes to simplify program delivery through streamlined cost effectiveness methods and a lower benefit-cost analysis discount rate. Programs in HMA are Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), Flood Mitigation Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and HMGP Post Fire.

FEMA is offering two webinars that will provide an overview of the recent updates. Pre-registration is required.
