The Federal Emergency Management Agency proposes to enter into a Cooperative Agreement for an estimated $100,00 0. 00 with one Earthquake Consortia/Workgroup, the Cascadia Regional Earthquake Workgroup.
This Cooperative Agreement is being entered for the purposes of supporting nonprofit organizations
which: deliver education and training to community and State officials; develop seismic policies and share information to promote programs intended to reduce earthquake-related losses; and reduce the loss of life, injuries, property losses, and social and economic disruption that results from all hazards.
Natural hazards exist everywhere. Throughout its history, the United States (US) has experienced floods, wildfires, winter storms, landslides, windstorms, and earthquakes. But of all of these natural disasters, earthquakes pose one of the greatest threats to lives, property, and economy, not only to communities within the western and central US, but indirectly to the Nation as a whole.
The reduction of risk caused by earthquakes is the priority of this Funding Opportunity.
