This dataset contains information on projects supported by Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) recipients and as reported by the recipient in the Grant Reporting Tool (GRT).rnrnThe EMPG Program provides resources to assist state, local, tribal, and territorial governments in preparing for all hazards, as authorized by Section 662 of the Post Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (6 U.S.C § 762) and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 et seq.). Title VI of the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to make grants for the purpose of providing a system of emergency preparedness for the protection of life and property in the United States from hazards, and to vest responsibility for emergency preparedness jointly in the federal government and the states and their political subdivisions. The EMPG, from FY 2016 to the present, provides federal funds to assist state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies to obtain the resources required to support the National Preparedness Goal's (NPG's) associated mission areas and core capabilities. The Federal Government, through the EMPG Program, provides necessary direction, coordination, and guidance, and provides necessary assistance, as authorized in this title to support a comprehensive all hazards emergency preparedness system.rnrnThe EMPG supports a comprehensive, all-hazard emergency preparedness system by building and sustaining the core capabilities contained in the NPG’s. Examples include:rn•tCompleting the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process.rn•tStrengthening a state or community's emergency management governance structure.rn•tUpdating and approving specific emergency plans.rn•tDesigning and conducting exercises that enable whole community stakeholders to examine and validate core capabilities and the plans needed to deliver them to the targets identified through the THIRA.rn•tTargeting training and verifying identified capabilities.rn•tInitiating or achieving a whole community approach to security and emergency management.rnrnThis dataset was first made public on 10/31/2016 and is updated twice twice a year.rnrnFor additional details on the EMPG program visit: https://www.fema.gov/grants/preparedness/emergency-management-performance.rnrnThis dataset is not intended to be an official federal report and should not be considered an official federal report.rnrnCitation: The Agency’s preferred citation for datasets (API usage or file downloads) can be found on the OpenFEMA Terms and Conditions page, Citing Data section: https://www.fema.gov/about/openfema/terms-conditions.rnrnIf you have media inquiries about this dataset, please email the FEMA News Desk at FEMA-News-Desk@fema.dhs.gov or call (202) 646-3272.

Congress passed the National Flood Insurance Act (NFIA), 42 U.S.C. 4001 in 1968, creating the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in order to reduce future flood losses through flood hazard identification, manage floodplain, and provide insurance protection. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) originally administered the NFIP, and Congress subsequently transferred the NFIP to FEMA upon its creation in 1979. FEMA and insurance companies participating in FEMA's Write Your Own (WYO) program offer NFIP insurance coverage for building structures as well as for contents and personal property within the building structures to eligible and insurable properties. The WYO program began in 1983 with NFIP operating under Part B of the NFIA and allows FEMA to authorize private insurance companies to issue the Standard Flood Insurance Policy (SFIP) as FEMA's fiduciary and fiscal agent. FEMA administers NFIP by ensuring insurance applications are processed properly; determining correct premiums; renewing, reforming, and cancelling insurance policies; transferring policies from the seller of the property to the purchaser of the property in certain circumstances; and processing insurance claims. rnrnThe paid premiums of SFIPs and claims payments for damaged property are processed through the National Flood Insurance Fund (NFIF). NFIF was established by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4001, et seq.), and is a centralized premium revenue and fee-generated fund that supports NFIP, which holds these U.S. Treasury funds. rnrnThis data set is derived from the NFIP system of record, staged in the NFIP reporting platform and redacted to protect policy holder personally identifiable information.rnrnThe NFIP Transactional Record Reporting Process (TRRP) Plan (https://nfipservices.floodsmart.gov/manuals/jan_2015_consolidated_trrp.pdf ) defines for the WYO companies how to report policy and claims information to the NFIP. The Flood Insurance Manual (https://nfipservices.floodsmart.gov/home/manuals ) establishes how policies should be rated and underwritten. The NFIP has provided answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to assist the public in understanding and navigating the data our program makes available: https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_nfip-data-faqs.pdf .rnrnThis data set represents more than 50,000,000 policy transactions, in order to improve accessibility, we have one compressed file. Due to the file size we recommend using Access, SQL, or another programming/data management tool to visualize and manipulate the data, as Excel will not be able to process files this large without data loss.

This dataset is flattened and multicounty communities are split by county lines. Flattened means that there are no overlaps; larger shapes like counties are punched out or clipped where smaller communities are contained within them. This allows for choropleth shading and other mapping techniques such as calculating unincorporated county land area.

The Grant Programs Directorate strategically and effectively administers and manages FEMA grants to ensure critical and measurable results for customers and stakeholders. The grants represented in this dataset are Preparedness (Non-Disaster or ND) Grants and Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG).rnrnND Grants and AFG are awarded and managed differently within the Grants Program Directorate (GPD) and should be treated with discretion.rnrnThe only measure in this dataset is Award Amount. It is an additive measure that can be applied across multiple dimensions to create various views of the data.rnrnAFG awards are assigned to individual Fire Departments. ND Grants are typically assigned to state agencies; however, exceptions do exist such as Port Security Grant Program which is assigned to port areas and not States. It is important to know that when looking at Award Amount by State it does not mean the State actually received that money. In addition, some grant programs may have pass-through requirements where the recipient State is required to sub-grant a minimum amount of the award and only retain a portion of the award.rnrnGrants guidance is described in the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).
