Fiscal Year 2023 Post-Application Period Listening Sessions 

The Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program is constantly seeking ways to improve. With the AFG, SAFER and FP&S application periods coming to a close, we are asking departments that applied to attend a listening session to tell us about your experience. The discussion will include the usability of online systems such as SAM.gov, National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and FEMA GO; availability of technical assistance; application completion and submission; and any other issues identified. In return, we hope to use your comments and suggestions to improve the AFG program. We will also answer any questions you may have about the program. 

Please find the schedule for the listening sessions below. Please click on the link to the respective session you’d like to attend. Each session is expected to last one hour and will include a brief introduction, time to identify issues, a collaborative brainstorming session, and time for Q&A. The sessions are limited to 1,500 attendants. If demand exceeds the planned sessions, consideration will be given to providing additional opportunities.
