Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program: FEMAs Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program provides funds to States, Territories, Tribes, and communities for hazard mitigation planning and for the implementation of mitigation projects prior to a disaster event. The PDM program provides a significant opportunity to raise risk awareness and reduce the nations disaster losses through pre-disaster mitigation planning and the implementation of feasible, effective, and cost-efficient mitigation measures. The PDM program provides funding to reduce loss of life as well as damage and destruction to property from natural hazards. The Pre-Disaster Mitigation program was authorized by Part 203 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Assistance and Emergency Relief Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5133, to assist States and communities to implement a sustained pre-disaster natural hazard mitigation program to reduce overall risk to the population and structures, while also reducing reliance on Federal funding from actual disaster declarations. PDM funds should be used primarily to support mitigation activities that address natural hazards, although hazard mitigation projects and plans also may address hazards caused by manmade events. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number is 97.017. For the 2007 competitive PDM program, FEMA will ensure that a State will receive no less than $500,000 for sub-application(s) within the State that meet all the eligibility requirements of the program as stated in this guidance. All remaining eligible sub-applications will compete nationally for the remaining PDM funds.

Additional Information on Eligibility
Only the State emergency management agency or a similar office (i.e., the office that has primary emergency management responsibility) of the State, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as well as Federally-recognized Indian tribal governments are eligible to apply to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for assistance as Applicants under this program. Each State, Territory, or tribal Government shall designate one agency to serve as the Applicant for the PDM program. Each Applicant may submit unlimited number of sub-applications for eligible planning/project activities that the Applicant has reviewed and approved in eGrants (See Section 1.6.3, Applicant Review of Sub-applications). A separate management cost sub-application must be submitted for Applicant management costs. Consistent with the FEMA policy and Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) "Government-to-Government Relations with American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal Governments," published in the January 12, 1999, issue of the Federal Register, Federally-recognized Indian tribal governments may choose to apply for PDM grants either through the State as a Sub-applicant or directly to FEMA as an Applicant. This choice is independent of a designation under other FEMA grants and programs. If the tribal Government acts as an Applicant by applying directly to FEMA and a grant is awarded, the tribal Government assumes the full responsibilities of a Grantee for the purposes of administering the grant. FEMA has determined that the unique status of Federally-recognized Indian tribal governments justifies providing this option to apply directly to FEMA. However, when legally permitted, tribal governments are encouraged to continue existing relationships with the State. The following entities are eligible to apply to the Applicant for assistance: State-level agencies including State institutions (e.g., State hospital or university); Federally-recognized Tribal governments; local governments, including State-recognized tribes, authorized tribal organizations, and Alaska Native villages; public colleges and universities; and tribal colleges and universities. Private non-profit (PNP) organizations and private colleges and universities are not eligible Sub-applicants; however, an eligible, relevant State agency or local government may apply to the Applicant as the Sub-applicant for assistance to benefit the private entity. For example, a States Parks and Recreation Department or Cultural Resources Agency may apply as a Sub-applicant for funds to mitigate a private museum, or a State Education Agency may apply as a Sub-applicant for funds to mitigate a private university if they are covered by a hazard mitigation plan. To be eligible for a project activity all entities must be covered by or participated in the development of the hazard mitigation plan. The Sub-applicant retains responsibility for the sub-grant and may not pass funding onto another entity without accountability of grant administration.
