Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) is a grant from Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) that provides funding to help Texas communities reduce long-term risk from natural hazards following a major federal disaster declaration. Awards typically range from $50,000 to $10,000,000 and are managed by TDEM on behalf of FEMA.
Eligible applicants include local jurisdictions with a FEMA-approved local hazard mitigation plan, state agencies, and certain private non-profits in Texas. Applicants must work with their TDEM Regional Section Chief to apply when funding opportunities are available.
HMGP complements the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, and together these programs have provided hundreds of millions of dollars in Texas investments over the past decade.

The Section is comprised of Plans and Grants. The Section provides a comprehensive program to support local jurisdictions as they assess the risks they face, plan to mitigate them, and fund those plans to implement mitigation projects that reduce risk across the state.
Plans help achieve the TDEM mission by partnering with local communities to provide training on how to develop mitigation plans and then reviewing plans prior to their submission to FEMA. Both activities are key elements for understanding and reducing risk in communities.
Grants allow our local partners to take the risk understanding they've developed through their mitigation planning process and provides funding to enable projects that reduce that risk. The Section also supports communities throughout the grants lifecycle to ensure that all funding is spent appropriately and that the project is successfully completed.
The Hazard Mitigation Section manages FEMA mitigation grants for TDEM to help Texas communities reduce their risk, specifically through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program. These two programs have provided hundreds of millions of dollars in investments in Texas communities over the past decade.
When funding opportunities are available, local jurisdictions with a FEMA-approved local hazard mitigation plan can apply for funding by working with their TDEM Regional Section Chief. TDEM also works closely with the Texas General Land Office (GLO) and the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to ensure that mitigation investments across the state complement each other as effectively as possible.
The Texas Flood Information Clearinghouse is one example of that. Another example is encouraging local communities to apply for local hazard mitigation plan funding through the GLO. The Texas State Administrative Plan provides more information on how TDEM administers the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
Separately, TDEM provides training to support our local partners in effectively managing these grants. TDEM offers procurement training available every month and encourages all sub-applicants to take it to ensure all HMGP projects in Texas are managed in accordance with federal procurement rules and regulations. This helps reduce the risk that FEMA will disallow certain expenses that the subapplicant would then not be reimbursed for.

A FEMA-approved Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is a requirement for eligibility under FEMA grants, including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HGMP) and the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grants program. Reach out to Jennifer. Charlton-Faia@tdem.

Additionally, the Hazard Mitigation Section maintains the State Hazard Mitigation Plan (SHMP), which is a comprehensive assessment of the natural hazards Texas faces.
The planning process brings together a wide range of stakeholders to comprehensively address risk. The 2023 SHMP, for example, includes input from different state partners, from the Texas General Land Office (GLO) to the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC). TDEM prepares the SHMP in compliance with Public Law 106-390, Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 , as amended.
A FEMA-approved State Hazard Mitigation Plan allows Texas to access 15% of the combined Public Assistance and Individual Assistance total disaster damages for hazard mitigation. For example, if the President approves a disaster declaration for Texas and the total approved value for the Public Assistance and Individual Assistance programs is $100, Texas would also get $15 for hazard mitigation projects.
