Taking steps now to mitigate the impact of a future natural disaster reduces long-term risk to life and property, making families and communities more disaster resistant. At KYEM, we’ll help your community to develop hazard mitigation plans, apply for and manage grant funding, and ensure mitigation projects have an impact. ## What does mitigation look like?
In Kentucky, projects with a focus on flooding and tornadoes are most common, but the opportunities for other community mitigation projects are endless. * **Protect homes and infrastructure**by elevating frequently flooded buildings or retrofitting structures for earthquakes. * **Support building safety**with enforced building codes and development of tornado safe rooms and community shelters.
* **Reduce flood risk**by managing development in flood-prone areas and implementing localized flood control projects. * **Promote flood resilience**by participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and maintain a strong floodplain management ordinance. ## Locally Led, Federally Supported It’s a big investment to prepare your community to be resilient in the face of disasters.
To help lessen that burden, FEMA has several grant programs to reduce the cost of community mitigation projects: ### Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Rebuild your community to be safer, stronger, and more resilient after a presidential disaster declaration with the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). Turn recovery into resilience.
### Flood Mitigation Assistance Program The Flood Mitigation Assistance Program helps fund projects that reduce or eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings insured by the National Flood Insurance Program.
Some ideas for these projects include: * Elevating structures out of the flood plain * Building local capacity through hazard mitigation plans * Buyout and acquisition of repeatedly flooded homes * Floodproofing with watertight doors, walls, or utility protections * Restoring drainage wetlands adjacent to critical infrastructure Safeguard your community.
### National Flood Insurance Program Property owners, renters, and businesses can obtain flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to help them bounce back faster after flooding. In Kentucky, the Division of Water is responsible for oversight of the NFIP. Contact the Division of Water here.
## Navigate the Mitigation Grant Process Federal grant applications can be tricky, but that’s why KYEM is here to help. We’ll help your community navigate the application process, make sure the requirements are met, and provide assistance throughout the life of the grant. Our goal is to help your community become stronger and more resilient.

On June 15, FEMA opened simultaneous application windows for the FY 2026 Emergency Management Performance Grant ($337 million) and the FY 2026 Emergency Operations Center Grant ($83 million). Both close July 15. The combined $420 million pool funds personnel, training, equipment, planning, and EOC construction across state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. The single-month window is unusually tight for two flagship preparedness programs that have historically opened in late winter. Here is the strategic read on activity eligibility, the EMPG-versus-EOC split, the formula versus competitive mechanics, and how applicants should sequence work in a 30-day cycle.

Here is what the stay does and does not decide, why your award may still be provisional, and the exact sequence to run in the days you have left.
