Disaster Grants

The UW Internal Disaster Preparedness Grant Program will be temporarily suspended during the 2009-2011 biennium due to budgetary reductions and a realignment toward other critical campus-wide disaster planning and response programs.

Please contact UWEM at disaster@u.washington.edu for more information. Thank you.


Disaster Grants

Internal (UW-only) Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness Grant Program

Each year, UW Emergency Management (UWEM ) provides a limited number of short-term, one time emergency management grants to internal UW departments and operating units. These annual UW funds will be provided to support internal programs that improve the overall emergency preparedness efforts for the campus community. Annual operational funds will encourage departments and operating units to address key vulnerabilities in their respective operations, facilities and plans/procedures. For more information on the grant program principles, process, budget administration and contact information, see:

While there is no formal open application period (projects can be submitted year round), all completed applications must be received by the UWEM by September 1st of each year in order to be considered for the remainder of the fiscal year. All approved projects will be posted on the UWEM website and must be completed by June 30th of the following year.

For more information, please contact the UW Emergency Management at (206) 897-8000.
