Program objective
The Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) Program is authorized by the Stafford Act. The objective and purpose of the FMAG Program is to provide supplemental assistance to State, Tribal, and local governmental entities for the mitigation, management, and control of any fire on public or private forest land or grassland that threatens such destruction as would constitute a major disaster. The funds are primarily used for fire suppression services (response) but also for essential assistance (emergency protective measures) as described in Section 403 (42 U.S.C. 5170b) of the Stafford Act. This includes but is not limited to evacuation, sheltering, police barricading, equipment and supplies, and other costs related to fire suppression operations and administration in support of these operations. Performance Measures: • Number of SLTT partners who receive FMAG assistance • Number of dollars SLTT partners receive to mitigate, manage, and control FMAG-Declared fires • Number of field camps established • Number of tools repaired or replaced • Number of mobilization activities conducted • Number of dollars used to offset administrative costs
