This funding will support state, local, tribal and territorial governments strengthen their emergency response capabilities and build resilience from potential catastrophic incidents. The agency is disbursing money through two grant programs:

- Emergency Operations Center Grant Program: FEMA is providing $83 million for states and local governments to construct, upgrade or equip secure, interoperable Emergency Operations Centers.
