The City of Kaplan adopted a resolution recognizing the 2026 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program prepared by the Vermilion Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. By formally recognizing this program, the city is positioning itself to participate in or benefit from hazard mitigation projects funded through this grant framework. This action signals upcoming planning and project development for flood control, storm hardening, critical infrastructure resiliency, and related emergency preparedness initiatives.Vendors specializing in hazard mitigation planning, engineering, drainage and flood projects, backup power, communications, and emergency management consulting can engage early to help the city identify eligible projects, develop scopes, and prepare grant-compliant designs and implementation plans as funding opportunities under the program are pursued.

This is at the program recognition stage; specific projects and procurements will be defined as the city develops mitigation proposals under the grant.

Grant Funding

The article says Maureen Ogden helped push through the 1999 Bagger Bill, which appropriated $4.5 million for general operating support (GOS) grants for historical organizations. The New Jersey Historical Commission's grant program had previously run on about $200,000 a year, so this was a major funding shift. The opportunity is not an active procurement, but it is clear grant-program intelligence for history organizations and any vendors supporting application management, program administration, or grant services.
