Disaster Grants

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

For the second year, the UW Emergency Management (UWEM ) will again be providing a limited number of short-term, one time emergency management and homeland security 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.
