Summary
The Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System. RCPGP supports the building of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation by providing resources to close known capability gaps in Housing and Logistics and Supply Chain Management, encouraging innovative regional solutions to issues related to catastrophic incidents, and building on existing regional efforts.
The strategic priority for the FY 2025 RCPGP focuses on investing in the following core capabilities:
- Housing,
- Community Resilience, and
- Long-Term Vulnerability Reduction.
When developing project proposals, FEMA encourages applicants to coordinate the provision of the education, tools, and training for emergency managers and other key stakeholders to:
- Identify and address emerging risks to disaster-vulnerable communities; and
- Plan for and develop research-supported, proactive investments in community resilience.
