Description
The Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program provides financial and/or technical assistance for watershed protection work. The Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) includes EWP in its mitigation-grant listing, but identifies the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), rather than DEMA, as the provider of assistance.
EWP supports work on waterways, streambanks, and levees. Activities identified in DEMA’s listing include debris removal, streambank protection, and levee repairs. EWP is distinct from the Hazard Mitigation Assistance and 406 mitigation programs that DEMA administers through its Mitigation and Public Assistance branches.
