Continue with Disaster Training - Funding Opportunity!!

All communities around the U.S. have an obligation to be as disaster-ready as possible, and citizens of these communities work every day to achieve this goal. This year, FEMA has released a funding opportunity announcement for the Continuing Training Grant totaling $11 million!

The Continuing Training Grant (CTG) is focused on state and local (including rural) communities, tribes, and non-profit higher education institutions. The 2014 CTG program is going to be specialized into six areas:

·         Hazardous Material/Weapons of Mass Destruction;

·         Cybersecurity;

·         Countering Violent Extremism;

·         Maturing Public-Private Partnerships;

·         Medical Readiness/Immediate Victim Care at Mass Casualty Events; and

·         Rural Planning.

These grant awards are to be announced directly to eligible applicants by the end of the 2014 fiscal year. Applications for the Continuing Training Grant can be found at www.grants.gov. All applications are due by July 16, 2014!

Don't miss out on an important opportunity to assist your community by furthering its opportunity to expand its emergency preparedness! For additional information, visit http://www.fema.gov/preparedness-non-disaster-grants.
