CFDA 97.143: Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS)

Objectives

The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) grant program makes federal funds available to applicable states, U.S territories, federally recognized tribal governments, and local communities to plan for and implement sustainable cost-effective measures designed to reduce the risk to individuals and property from future natural hazards, while also reducing reliance on federal funding from future disasters. Only states, territories, or federally recognized tribal governments with projects identified by Congress in the appropriate year’s Appropriations Act are eligible to apply.

Eligible applicants

States · District of Columbia · U.S. territories · Federally recognized tribal governments. Each state, territory, the District of Columbia, and federally recognized tribal governments shall designate one agency to serve as the applicant for PDM funding. Each applicant’s designated agency may submit only one PDM grant application to FEMA. Sub applications under which two or more entities would carry out the award are eligible, such as a multi-state or multi-tribal initiative; however, only one entity may be the applicant with primary responsibility for carrying out the award. Communities, including local governments, cities, townships, counties, special district governments, and tribal governments (including federally recognized tribes who choose to apply as subapplicants) are considered subapplicants and must submit sub applications for financial assistance to their state/territory/tribal applicant agency. Contact information for the State Hazard Mitigation Officers (SHMOs) is provided on the FEMA website at http://www.fema.gov/state-hazard-mitigation-officers. For applicant eligibility criteria and other eligibility criteria, refer to the Notices of Funding Opportunities posted on www.Grants.gov
