Description
Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) assist state and local governments in enhancing and sustaining all-hazards emergency management capabilities. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides funding to local jurisdictions through the states. In Vermont, the Department of Public Safety administers the program through Vermont Emergency Management (VEM).
Vermont’s program operates through subgrants with the state’s 11 Regional Planning Commissions (RPCs). This regional structure connects federal funding with state and local emergency management efforts. The FY25 RPC subgrant materials include a scope of work, a notice of funding opportunity, and a summary of changes from the previous cycle.
