Disaster Relief & Emergency Grants

Browse 5 federal disaster relief & emergency grant opportunities. Find funding from top agencies with award amounts up to $1.3M.

Disaster grants fund emergency preparedness, mitigation planning, response operations, and long-term recovery. FEMA, HUD Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), and SBA disaster loans help communities prepare for and recover from natural disasters and emergencies. This category includes pre-disaster mitigation grants like the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), and Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG). Eligible applicants include state and local emergency management agencies, tribal governments, nonprofits, and certain private entities. Award amounts range from tens of thousands for preparedness planning to billions for major disaster recovery. Applications typically require hazard vulnerability assessments, benefit-cost analyses, mitigation strategies, and demonstration of compliance with National Flood Insurance Program requirements. Organizations should maintain updated emergency management plans and be aware that many disaster grants become available only after presidential disaster declarations.
