FEMA manages the National Flood Insurance Program which includes more than 22,600 Participating Communities. This year, FEMA’s Floodplain Management Division is conducting a survey of the nation’s Floodplain Administrators who manage local floodplains for these jurisdictions. Survey findings will inform a five-year National Floodplain Administrators Training Strategy that will be coordinated by the Floodplain Management Division.

This session will brief applicants and subapplicants on the new 2024 Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program and Policy Guide (HMA Guide), which was released on July 30, 2024.

FEMA’s Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) is offering a series of one-hour trainings on the federal procurement under grants rules applicable to recipients and subrecipients purchasing under a FEMA grant award. These virtual trainings will be facilitated by GPD’s Procurement Disaster Assistance Team (PDAT).
