FEMA Response & Recovery Grant Programs
FEMA Response & Recovery Grant Programs : "The second major category of grants [Prevention & Protection being the 1st] is the Response & Recovery Programs which includes two additional grant programs which provide resources to support preparedness projects that build state and local capabilities to support the Response and Recovery mission area as outlined in the National Preparedness Guidelines, the Target Capabilities List, and National Strategy for Homeland Security of 2007. In FY 2009, FEMA requests $215 million for Homeland Security Response and Recovery Programs, which includes Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) [received $300m FY 2008], and the Citizen Corps Program (CCP). The EMPG Program provides funds to support emergency management initiatives at the state and local level, and improve mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities for all hazards. The Citizen Corps Grant Program (CCP) is the Department's grass-roots initiative to actively involve all citizens in hometown preparedness through personal readiness, training, and volunteer service".
