HMGP Post Fire assistance is available for areas that received a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) declaration, even if no major disaster declaration was made. Section 420 of the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to provide assistance under its FMAG program for the mitigation, management and control of any fire that threatens such destruction as would constitute a major disaster.[309] Whether or not a major disaster is declared, the President may provide HMGP Post Fire assistance in accordance with Section 404 of the Stafford Act in any area affected by a fire for which assistance was provided under Section 420 of the Stafford Act.[310]
Throughout the HMA Guide, unless specified otherwise in this section, activity development, application, submission and grants management processes that apply to HMGP will also apply to HMGP Post Fire. In addition, all eligible activities under HMGP are also eligible under HMGP Post Fire.
