Description
The Homeland Security Grant Program is an annual federal DHS/FEMA anti-terrorism program administered in New Hampshire by the Department of Safety’s Bureau of Grants Management. It supports first responders with training, exercises, and equipment to improve prevention, protection, response, and recovery. The program helps build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities needed to achieve the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation.
The local competitive grant process emphasizes terrorism preparedness and a risk-informed, capabilities-based approach. All-hazards projects must explain their connection to terrorism preparedness. Investments may maintain existing critical capabilities or build new capabilities, with newly developed capabilities deployable to support regional and national efforts. Program guidance references the State Homeland Security Strategy, National Preparedness Goal, and National Incident Management System (NIMS).
