Updates & Notifications

Preparedness Grants - September 10, 2024

The official award notification from FEMA will be coming out soon. In preparation of the announcement, we would like to provide a timeline. Within 30 – 45 days after the FEMA announcement, VDEM will notify the awarded entities through email with instructions on next steps to be followed. A formal notification will follow to everyone signed up on our listserv. We anticipate this happening between the end of October to mid-November.

We appreciate your patience through this application process.
