EMPG supports state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management capabilities across the prevention, mitigation, response, and recovery mission areas. Funds may support planning, training, exercises, equipment, and program management to build and sustain NIMS-aligned emergency management programs. California receives a state allocation and subawards to local jurisdictions like Los Angeles County OEM. This program is broadly applicable to LA County; subaward processes and match/maintenance requirements follow state guidance. The Grants.gov listing shows an 08/11/2025 closing date for applications by the state; local deadlines are set by Cal OES.
