The HSNTP/CTG will provide $8 million to qualified applicants who can help improve the nation’s ability to respond to and recover from all-hazards events.
The HSNTP/CTG Program is administered by FEMA’s National Training and Education Division. FEMA will continue to prioritize funding for Tribal and Rural Preparedness training programs and may make awards in all or some of the other identified focus areas below contingent upon the evaluation of proposals received.
- Housing;
