Description
The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Sub-grant is administered by the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (DHSEM). It reimburses applicable emergency management program expenses using federal funding allocated to states on a population-share basis. New Mexico’s funding strategy prioritizes salary and benefits for creating new emergency management programs, followed by maintaining existing programs.
The program supports the National Preparedness System and preparedness across Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. Jurisdictions must use their Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) and Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) to identify priorities, close capability gaps, and sustain high-priority capabilities. Work also supports continuity of essential government functions. The application work plan requires activities addressing the national priorities of Extreme Weather Resilience and Readiness.
