Description
The Montana Resiliency Fund, administered by Montana Disaster & Emergency Services (DES), provides funding to state agencies, federally recognized tribal organizations, and local governments for projects that reduce risks from natural hazards. The program aims to strengthen community resilience, protect public infrastructure, and support innovative mitigation activities. Eligible projects include hazard mitigation construction, planning, project scoping, and management costs, with a focus on long-term, cost-effective improvements rather than short-term repairs or maintenance.
