As you prepare and implement Fire Prevention Week activities in your community, please consider preparing for the fiscal year (FY) 2012 Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) grant application period.
The application period is planned to open in late fall. Keep watching the AFG website at www.fema.gov/firegrants for additional information. Two videos with tips about applying for FP&S grants also can be viewed on the FP&S section of the AFG website.
To assist in your preparations, you may wish to visit the websites shown below, where you can find information about some current and past AFG-funded projects and learn about grantees’ models for successful FP&S initiatives:
