On February 27, 2023, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced the Fiscal Year 2023 Preparedness Grants Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs).  The NOFOs and ancillary documents are available at:  fema.gov/grants.  State Administrative Agencies should follow application submission instructions on Grants.gov.

The attached letter contains a summary of FY 2023 DHS Preparedness Grant Programs.  The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) prepares this summary for stakeholders to assist in developing proposals that align with DHS funding priorities for emergency communications.  Stakeholders are strongly encouraged to read this summary and the SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency Communications Grants before submitting emergency communications proposals for funding.  CISA recommends stakeholders closely review the key changes, as there are several modifications from past fiscal years.

Please note that CISA is not the administrator for these grants.  CISA prepared this summary as a courtesy to its stakeholders.  Direct any questions on this summary to emergency-comms-grants@cisa.dhs.gov.  Questions on DHS Preparedness Grant Programs can be directed to FEMA's Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk by phone at (800) 366-6498 or by email at askcsid@fema.gov, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM ET.
