Eligible activities include safe room construction, flood hazard mitigation, structural retrofits, wildfire mitigation, and hazard mitigation planning, among others. Subapplications must demonstrate cost-effectiveness and align with local and state Hazard Mitigation Plans. Technical assistance is available through OEM, though full application development support is not provided.
