EHP Guidance for FEMA Grant Applicants

These pages provide FEMA's Grant and Sub-Grant Applicants with critical information that will assist in expediting the EHP review process for their projects. The suggestions provided are intended to improve a project's design, development, and implementation by taking into consideration the impacts of a project to surrounding natural, cultural, and historic resources. Consideration of these impacts will allow for an informed decisionmaking, which is the basic premise of many of our Federal environmental laws.
