After a historic shutdown, the Department of Homeland Security has officially reopened.

For the fire and emergency services community, this means critical funding and support are back in place for programs and agencies we rely on every day, including the FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Disruptions to DHS funding put essential resources at risk, from AFG and SAFER grants to training, coordination, and national response capabilities. Volunteer departments depend on these programs to remain equipped, staffed, and ready to respond.

The NVFC continues to advocate for strong, stable investment in the fire and emergency services.
