Planning grants to update HMP's will not be obligated thus no access to HMGP.

Loss of MGT costs will hurt a lot of State OEM's

Where does it say that about HMPs? Just wanting to be clear on the implications. About 80 percent of HMP funding comes from HMGP, not BRIC, and about 10 percent comes from states, leaving maybe 10 percent from BRIC, some places more than others.

What I'm really curious about is FMA - the bottom of the Politico article mentioned that FMA is "under review", but not mentioned in the memo. Any more information on that out there?

No true. It depends on how the state does it - remember not all states have disaster after disaster. Some states fund a lot of their local HMPs through BRIC. This does impact HMP funding - plenty of states submitted subapps for HMPs this past BRIC cycle that have likely not been obligated or funding used yet.

That's the overall numbers - you're right that it's state by state, but I know for a fact that several (large) states fund nearly all of their planning on the federal side through HMGP.

I'm at the state level and can confirm. We had about 5 HMPs slated for FY23 that are not awarded and were projected to submit for like 7 more in FY24. Uhg. Also started our state HMP update under a fully awarded HMGP project. Big uhg.
