Homeland Security Grants

MEMA administers Homeland Security Grants in Maine. Since 1999, more than $85 million has been distributed to enhance homeland security and all-hazard preparedness across the State.

Grant funds are administered with the assistance of a multi-jurisdictional, multi-disciplinary review team. Grant priorities have been established in concert with Maine's Homeland Security Strategy. The grant application period for 2009 will be open August 12 through September 25, 2009.

Maine has established a competitive model to distribute funds based on the current strategy and priorities. Those priorities include all-hazard emergency planning including school emergency planning, interoperable communications, training and exercise, public education and awareness and National Incident Management System (NIMS) implementation.
