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.
HMGP-Post Fire (or HMGP-PF) is a grant program made available after a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) is approved for a wildfire. HMPG-PF must be used for wildfire-specific mitigation activities.
HMGP and HMGP-PF Updates for Oklahoma
In May 2025, OEM launched a new application process for Oklahoma HMGP and HMGP-PF grants. Instead of a rolling application timeline for all HMGP and HMGP-PF funding, Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) will now be published by OEM for each FEMA HMGP and HMGP-PF funding cycle with a defined grant timeline for each.
Subapplicants will need to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) for the specific HMGP or HMGP-PF grant to start the application process. Upon NOI approval, subapplicants will receive an invitation to submit an application.
Additionally, initial funding priority will be given to jurisdictions within the declared areas.
See below for upcoming HMGP and HMGP-PF timelines.
