FEMA’s Grant Programs Directorate Announces Interactive Discussion Website

FEMA’s Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) is pleased to announce the inauguration of its new interactive site dedicated to encouraging discussions of the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 National Preparedness Grant Program (NPGP). Through this website, GPD will be able to engage an ongoing dialogue with the stakeholder community and listen to the thoughts, concerns and ideas of state, territorial, local, and tribal governments, the private sector, non-governmental and faith-based organizations. GPD has actively engaged in encouraging discussions and conversations with our partners since the President’s FY 2013 budget was announced on February 13th.    GPD is committed to continuing these discussions whether through one on one meetings, presentations, workshops, conference calls, or webinars.

Everyone is encouraged to take advantage of this new interactive website which is found here:

We look forward to your comments, suggestions, questions and concerns in keeping the conversation moving forward. GPD staff will be checking this site daily and responding to questions.  Please feel free to share this with your partners, colleagues, and members.

We look forward to hearing from you as GPD continues to develop the vision of NPGP.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact FEMA’s Intergovernmental Affairs Division at (202) 646-3444 or at FEMA-IGA@fema.dhs.gov.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.
