Grant Overview
Wisconsin Priority Outcomes for Hazard Mitigation Post Fire Program Grants Wisconsin's diverse geography, ranging from the Mississippi River border to the Superior National Forest, presents a complex landscape for disaster mitigation. The state's priority outcomes for the Hazard Mitigation Post Fire Program grants focus on reducing the risk of loss of life and property from future disasters, particularly those related to wildfires and flooding. The Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs, Division of Emergency Management, is a key state agency involved in implementing these measures. One of Wisconsin's distinguishing demographic features is its mix of rural and urban areas, with many communities facing unique challenges in disaster preparedness and response. ## Target Outcomes for Wisconsin Applicants The primary target outcomes for Wisconsin applicants under this grant program include the implementation of hazard mitigation measures that reduce the risk of future disasters. Specifically, the program aims to support projects that address the state's most significant hazards, such as wildfires in the northwestern and central regions, and flooding along the major rivers. For instance, grants may be used to fund projects that create fire breaks, enhance stormwater management infrastructure, or promote the adoption of flood-resistant construction practices. The Wisconsin Fast Forward grant program, which focuses on workforce development, may also be relevant to applicants looking to build capacity for disaster mitigation and response. ## Measuring Success in Wisconsin Success under this program will be measured by the number and severity of disasters mitigated, as well as the level of community engagement and capacity building achieved through funded projects. Applicants will need to demonstrate how their proposed projects align with the state's hazard mitigation plans and how they will contribute to the overall resilience of Wisconsin communities. The state's focus on reducing the economic impact of disasters on local communities and promoting regional collaboration will also be critical factors in evaluating grant proposals. For example, projects that involve partnerships between local governments, non-profits, and private sector entities may be viewed more favorably. In terms of specific metrics, applicants may be required to track and report on outcomes such as the number of properties protected, the reduction in flood risk, or the acres of land treated to reduce wildfire risk. Q: What types of projects are eligible for funding under the Hazard Mitigation Post Fire Program in Wisconsin? A: Eligible projects may include the creation of fire breaks, enhancement of stormwater management infrastructure, and promotion of flood-resistant construction practices, among others. Q: How can Wisconsin non-profits access funding for hazard mitigation projects? A: Non-profits can work with local governments and other stakeholders to develop project proposals that align with the state's hazard mitigation plans and submit applications for funding under the program. Q: Are there any specific resources available to help Wisconsin applicants prepare for the grant application process? A: Yes, the Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs, Division of Emergency Management, provides resources and technical assistance to support applicants in the grant application process.
