KAMM’s Community Mitigation
Grant Application
KAMM will open the next application cycle in 2026 when we will be accepting new applications for the KAMM Community Mitigation Grant Program. KAMM promotes natural hazard mitigation and disaster recovery as well as public awareness of floodplain, stormwater, and emergency management.
The KAMM Grant Program offers local communities an opportunity for assistance with a mitigation project. The program allocates funds for projects that promote natural hazard mitigation and management or mitigation awareness in your community.
Below is a list of project examples; however, any project that promotes the Purpose of KAMM is acceptable. Please be creative!
