Description
The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG), administered by the New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HSEM), provides resources for state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies. It supports projects aligned with the National Preparedness Goal: building whole-community capabilities to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the greatest threats and hazards.
New Hampshire’s identified priorities include emergency and continuity planning, primary emergency operations center equipment, backup power, and school emergency notification systems. Project narratives must explain how the work addresses relevant threats, enhances emergency management capabilities, and closes capability gaps. Applicants must demonstrate technical feasibility, reasonable costs, and milestones achievable within the grant’s performance period.
