FEMA released the updated Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program and Policy Guide. The guide supports stakeholder efforts by providing clear guidance on hazard mitigation goals and regulatory compliance. It remains a critical resource for understanding FEMA’s hazard mitigation assistance programs and policies. This guidance is effective as of January 20, 2025, and reflects Administration and Agency priorities including recent executive orders and Federal Regulatory updates.

FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs provide funding for eligible mitigation activities that protect life and property from future disaster damage to build a more resilient nation.
