 Where do I register for the FEMA Grants Portal?


 Where do I register for the FEMA Grants Portal ? 

Answer: If you DO NOT have an account in the FEMA Grants Portal, please send an email to your STATE Recovery Staff to request an account. Provide the primary contact name, jurisdiction/potential applicant, phone number and email address. You will then receive an automated email invitation from the FEMA Grants Portal. After the account activation is completed you will be requested to submit a Request for Public Assistance (RPA) form for COVID-19 for your State Declaration DR-xxxx or EM-xxxx

A jurisdiction/applicant that hasn’t participated in a federally declared disaster event since 2017 in all probability will not have an account

Only one point of contact should be listed but the applicant can assign multiple users. It is best practice to keep applicant account users to a minimum.

Access should be granted within 24-48 hours. Please check your junk mailbox as invitations sometimes appear there.

If we previously registered for the Grants Portal but lost our login/password, how should we proceed?

 There is a Forgot your Password at the login screen and you would use your e-mail for a password rest. If you know you have an account but cannot remember your login then you should send an email to your STATE Recovery Staff and they can assist further.
