AFG and Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) award notifications are in progress, but many applicants are not eligible to receive awards until they have registered their CCR and DUNS information in the System for Award Management (SAM) website.
An active SAM.gov registration is an annual requirement to receive a Federal award. After completing the registration information, it may take 5 to 10 business days to validate your organization’s active status. Failure to register with SAM will delay any potential AFG or SAFER award. Registration and account maintenance in the SAM.gov website is free of charge.
To ensure eligibility to receive FEMA Fire Grant awards (AFG, SAFER, and Fire Prevention and Safety), applicants must complete the SAM.gov registration and activate the SAM.gov user account as soon as possible.
