In FEMA speak, preparedness is different from hazard mitigation. FEMA has an entirely separate grant program for hazard mitigation, which is funded with ~$0.7bn for flood and infrastructure resiliency, for example.
Each of these is dwarfed in turn by the actual response budget which goes into the Disaster Relief Fund, something around $15bn this FY.
