Eligibility criteria and grant award range are established and available for program applicants (pop. ≤50,000; awards $10,000–$500,000).
The Interior Department press release confirms that local governments providing emergency services to areas with populations of 50,000 or fewer are eligible for grants ranging from $10,000 to $500,000, aligning with the statement.
