FEMA Approves More Than $120,000 to Support Community Resilience and Recovery in Montana

Denver - Yesterday, FEMA announced more than $120,000 to help Montana strengthen community resilience, restore critical infrastructure and invest in mitigation measures to reduce future disaster damage.

This funding is part of the $584 million approved nationwide through FEMA's Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities, Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs. These programs help states, local communities, tribes and territories to rebuild safer communities and protect infrastructure from future events. The funding supports President Donald J. Trump's commitment to improving federal disaster assistance and investing in projects that protect Americans. 

FEMA is awarding $122,365 to the state of Montana for the management of grant projects. This ensures that projects that are awarded federal dollars are completed successfully and are following all regulatory requirements of federal funding and certifies that taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly and for their intended purpose.

FEMA coordinates directly with the state on all recovery and hazard mitigation projects, ensuring recovery is state-led and federally supported.

These projects are part of FEMA's ongoing support for state and local communities rebuilding from disasters. FEMA remains committed to helping communities recover from hurricanes, severe storms, tornadoes and wildfires and to building resilience for the future.
