FEMA Makes $2 Million Available for Pre-Disaster Mitigation for Flood, Earthquake and Wildfire Resilience Projects in Arizona

Today, FEMA announced that federal funding for hazard mitigation projects is available to Arizona to address flood, earthquake and wildfire risks. This funding will empower states to take decisive, proactive steps to protect their communities from future disasters.

Congress authorized these projects through the Fiscal Year 2026 Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act. Funding for these projects has been made available through FEMA's Pre-Disaster Mitigation grant program. Nationwide, 40 states and one Tribal Nation are expected to receive more than $189 million in federal funding for 125 projects.

In Arizona, identified projects include:

• $1.5 million for Fanning Wash Flood Mitigations in the City of Flagstaff.
• $493,000 for Bull Mountain Channel Improvements in the City of Kingman.

Before funds are awarded, these communities must submit an application by July 22, 2026 by 5 p.m. Eastern Time. FEMA will review all applications and disburse funding only after confirming that eligibility criteria have been met.

Applications must be submitted through FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO), the agency's grants management system. For more information, review the Notice of Funding Opportunity on Grants.gov.
