The FY2027 President's Budget requests $40.6M for Mitigation, within Homeland Security's Operations and Support account. That is down 18% on the FY2026 figure of $49.6M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $49.6M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $49.6M |
| FY2027 | request | $40.6M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Homeland Security discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.

National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP): FEMA leads NEHRP implementation activities designed to reduce future losses and increase State and local earthquake resilience. FEMA's NEHRP funding is used to provide technical and financial assistance to States and multistate consortia to increase awareness of earthquake hazards and to foster plans to reduce seismic vulnerability. In addition, FEMA uses NEHRP funding to develop and support public education and awareness programs on earthquake loss reduction. This includes the development and dissemination of improved seismic design and construction criteria for new buildings and retrofit guidance for existing buildings.
