Description
The Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) administers the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) in Maine to enhance homeland security and all-hazard preparedness statewide. Grant priorities are established in concert with Maine's Homeland Security Strategy, connecting the use of federal resources to preparedness priorities within the state.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FEMA award homeland security grant funds annually to states. Maine allocates those resources to its sixteen counties, and identified subrecipients determine homeland security funding priorities for the year. MEMA provides State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) application resources, federal guidance, and a grant portal. County Emergency Management Agency directors are the local contacts for more information about the program.
