    Summary

    The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program is one of the grant programs that constitute DHS/FEMA's focus on all-hazards emergency preparedness, including the evolving threats and risks associated with climate change. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS. Among the goals noted in the DHS Strategic Plan for Fiscal Year 2020-2024, the EMPG Program supports the goal to Strengthen Preparedness and Resilience.

    • Goal 1 - Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management
    • Goal 2 - Lead Whole of Community in Climate Resilience
    • Goal 3 - Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and Prepared Nation
