The purpose of the RCPGP is to build state and local capacity to manage catastrophic incidents by improving and expanding regional collaboration, across the whole community, for catastrophic incident preparedness.

The strategic priority for the FY 2022 RCPGP is investing in the following core capabilities: community resilience, housing, and long-term vulnerability reduction. Community and regional level resilience plans and strategies address the full range of hazards and stressors affecting the ability of communities to survive, adapt, and thrive and enable effective risk reduction. Communities facing severe challenges with affordable housing that is resilient to all hazards, or long-term vulnerability reduction, may use this planning grant to develop specific targeted resilience strategies and plans, or integrate these challenges into broader approaches. Communities may also use this grant to enhance existing plans and strategies to better address the broad range of resilience challenges they may face. These plans and strategies can serve as a tool for leveraging federal investments through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as well as other sources of funding.

Furthermore, priority will be given to those planning efforts that address the needs of disadvantaged communities who might be at special risk as a result of current hazards, including those associated with climate change.
