Hazard mitigation loans for local and tribal governments

Local and tribal governments can apply for loans to fund hazard mitigation projects under federal STORM Act rules. The Division prioritizes projects with the greatest impact in Nevada. Loans cannot replace other hazard funds. Borrowers must follow Nevada public works and competitive bidding laws unless federal law bars it. Applicants must show need, ability to repay over a fixed term, and capacity to meet federal rules. The Division may offer technical help. The program starts January 1, 2026, and the Division can write rules before then.

New state fund for hazard mitigation

The law creates the Nevada Hazard Mitigation Revolving Loan Account in the State General Fund. It holds FEMA STORM Act grants, required state match money, loan repayments, and interest. Interest stays in the account and year-end balances carry forward. The Division of Emergency Management runs the account. The account takes effect January 1, 2026, and the Division can set up rules before then.
