FEMA Webinar—A Message from PDA’s Jim Kirk

One of the few FEMA grant programs that your congregations may be eligible for is the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, or NSGP. Last year, at least five PC(USA) churches successfully applied for this grant.

The main purpose of the grant program is to support “target hardening” and other physical security enhancements. For example, surveillance systems, physical access control equipment, impact resistant doors and gates, intrusion detection sensor and alarms, exterior lighting, physical perimeter security (gates, fences, jersey barriers), and screening and inspection equipment.

The program is also to promote emergency preparedness coordination and collaboration between public and private community representatives. Examples of this include developing security plans, training for congregants and ushers, and contracting security personnel.

For prospective applicants interested in learning more about the NSGP grant, FEMA is hosting one-hour webinars:
