This session will outline the State and Federal response machines, HMGP requirements and submission timeline, eligible and ineligible projects, and the Municipal, County, and State agency application process. Applicants: Local, County, private contractor, and State project engineers, emergency managers, and those tasked with compiling information for HMGP applications can benefit from the information given here. Questions for the State Hazard Mitigation Officer and success stories will also be entertained at the end of the presentation.
