About the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program

The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), also known as 404 Mitigation, is funded by FEMA and administered by the state of Oklahoma. While related to disasters, the HMGP is not a disaster relief program for individual disaster victims or a recovery program that funds repairs to public property damaged during a disaster. It is a mitigation grant designed to:

• Prevent or reduce future loss of lives and property through the identification and funding of cost-effective mitigation measures.
• Minimize the costs of future disaster response and recovery.

On Monday, May 12, 2025, OEM launched a new application process for Oklahoma HMGP grants. Instead of a rolling application timeline for all HMGP funding, OEM will now provide Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) for each FEMA Disaster and Fire Management Assistance Grant with a defined grant timeline for each.

Subapplicants will need to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) in OK EMgrants to start the application process. Upon NOI approval, subapplicants will receive an invitation to submit an application in FEMA GO. OEM can provide technical assistance with the FEMA GO submittal process.

Additionally, starting with DR-4791, FM-5489, and DR-4776, funding priority will be given to jurisdictions within the declared areas. 

DR-4791: May 19, 2024 - May 28, 2024, Severe Storms, Straight-line Winds, Tornadoes, and Flooding. View the NOFO and find resources, links, and more
