Description
The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG), administered in Idaho by the Idaho Office of Emergency Management (IOEM), provides financial assistance and technical expertise to establish, maintain, and enhance effective local emergency management programs. Authorized by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, the federal program supports the National Preparedness System by building, sustaining, and delivering core capabilities needed for a secure and resilient nation.
The program helps governments prepare for all hazards, including natural and human-caused hazards and technological events that threaten public safety and homeland security. Idaho uses EMPG funding to support emergency management staff salaries for activities identified in the work plan, sustaining the personnel capacity needed to coordinate preparedness.
