Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG)

The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) program provides federal funding to help states and local communities strengthen their ability to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. In Maine, the program is administered by Maine Emergency Management Agency. We work with county and local partners to support planning, training, exercises, and emergency management program development. Through EMPG, MEMA helps ensure Maine’s communities are ready and resilient when emergencies occur.
