The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program is one of the grant programs that constitute DHS/FEMA's focus on all-hazards emergency preparedness, including the evolving threats and risks associated with climate change. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS. Among the goals noted in the DHS Strategic Plan, the EMPG program supports the goal to Strengthen Preparedness and Resilience. The 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan outlines a bold vision and three ambitious goals designed to address key challenges the agency faces during a pivotal moment in the field of emergency management. Wide-ranging and long-term, the goals defined in the plan respond to the changing landscape in which we find ourselves. The goals to meet this challenge are:- Goal 1 - Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management- Goal 2 - Lead Whole of Community in Climate Resilience- Goal 3 - Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and Prepared NationThese goals position FEMA to address the increasing range and complexity of disasters, support the diversity of communities we serve, and complement the nation's growing expectations of the emergency management community. All EMPG Program recipients are encouraged to review the 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan and consider how FY 2022 EMPG Program funding can be used to support the Plan's goals and objectives as they apply to state/territory's specific needs and the needs of the whole community.We invite all stakeholders and partners to also adopt these priorities and join us in building a more prepared and resilient nation.
