Description
The Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) maintains Environmental Planning and Historical Properties resources to help grant recipients prepare for FEMA environmental and historic preservation (EHP) review. This is a compliance resource rather than a standalone grant competition. It brings together project classifications, a screening form, review-packet guidance, frequently asked questions, and FEMA/DHS presentations on review requirements.
FEMA’s Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) uses project information to assess potential effects on environmental and cultural resources under the National Environmental Policy Act and related laws. Review requirements depend on the nature and location of the proposed work, including equipment installation, construction, renovations, communications towers, and field-based exercises. The materials emphasize early planning, complete documentation, and approval before project implementation.
