Cal EMA’s Grants Management Division is responsible for administering more than $2 billion in funds for homeland security, emergency management, justice programs and victim services, a majority of which are distributed to local and regional entities to enable the most effective prevention, detection, response and recovery efforts. Improving and enhancing local agencies capabilities through grants is one of Cal EMA’s most important missions. The Public Safety Branch and the Victim Services Branches develop and manage grant programs that provide victim services through a combination of government agencies and non-profit organizations.
