SLIST OF FEDERAL FINANCIALASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FUNDINGEMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONSOVERVIEWThis list identifies federal financial assistance programs (i.e., grants, loans, cooperative agreements) thatsupport emergency communications investments. Periodic updates will be posted on the SAFECOM Fundingwebsite as new programs are announced. Note that other opportunities may exist. Entities seeking fundingshould refer to the federal government website Grants.gov to determine if other opportunities are available. Inaddition, refer to the specific Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), as this is a summary of programinformation related to emergency communications and does not reflect all program requirements.For ease of use, this list is divided into two tables. Table 1 includes federal financial assistance programsfunded by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 (Public Law No. 116–94), the ConsolidatedAppropriations Act of 2021 (Public Law No. 116–260), the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022 (Public LawNo. 117–103), other appropriations, and departmental discretion to offer funding for state, local, tribal, andterritorial governments. Table 2 includes available funding provided through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, andEconomic Security Act (CARES Act), which could support emergency communications investments. The CARESAct was signed by the President on March 27, 2020, and many programs have expedited application dates toquickly award funds (e.g., Emergency Management Performance Grant COVID-19 Supplemental applicationswere due by April 28, 2020). These programs include new funding opportunities provided by the CARES Act, aswell as additional funds to existing grant programs dedicated to COVID-19 response activities.In addition to federal financial assistance programs, entities should also consider alternate funding mechanisms(e.g., bonds, public-private partnerships, user fees, special taxes) as a source of capital. Entities should workwith financial experts to identify each mechanism's applicability to emergency communications projects andunderstand terms and requirements. For more information, including examples of alternate funding sources andbest practices, reference the Funding Mechanisms Guide for Public Safety Communications.Entities that are applying for federal financial assistance for emergency communications projects shouldreference the latest annual SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency Communications Grants. The guidance providesgeneral information on eligible activities, technical standards, and other terms and conditions that are commonto most federal programs funding emergency communications. Note, recipients of the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency’s preparedness grants must comply with SAFECOM Guidance, as required in itsAppendix D. Other federal programs encourage entities to follow SAFECOM Guidance recommendations andbest practices, specifically its guidance to applicants on: Recommendations for planning, coordinating, and implementing emergency communications projects;Emergency communications activities that can be funded through federal grants;Overview of emergency communications systems and capabilities; andTechnical standards that facilitate interoperability.SAFECOM Guidance and this list of federal financial assistance programs are developed by the Cybersecurityand Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in collaboration with SAFECOM, the National Council of StatewideInteroperability Coordinators, as well as federal partners in the Emergency Communications PreparednessCenter.
