- keyless entry
- door locks
- video entry
- intercom systems
- security lighting
- metal detectors
- access barriers
- critical infrastructure assessments.
In addition, cybersecurity equipment or software (such as intrusion detection systems) and physical protection of hardware systems are allowable.
Visit the FEMA Preparedness Grants Manual webpage to find the 2024 Manual Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) manual. (If FEMA has not posted the 2024 manual yet, please visit their website again later - sorry for the inconvenience.)
Awards are competitive and will be based on recommendations of regional review committees. Funding for projects will become available on or about September 1, 2024. Award agreements will be generated after funding becomes available; projects cannot start before the award date.
