Opportunity Summary:
The Earthquake Consortia Cascadia Region Earthquake Workgroup (CREW) grant opportunity is a FEMA (Department of Homeland Security) discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support earthquake risk reduction efforts in the Cascadia region. FEMA’s intent is to partner with a nonprofit earthquake consortium or workgroup, specifically the Cascadia Regional Earthquake Workgroup, to strengthen earthquake mitigation activities that can reduce deaths, injuries, property damage, and wider social and economic disruption. While the announcement notes that many hazards affect the United States, it emphasizes that earthquakes remain one of the most severe threats to public safety and the economy, including impacts that can ripple beyond the western and central U.S. to the country as a whole. The central priority of the funding is reducing earthquake risk.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means FEMA expects to have a more active role in the project through coordination, oversight, or collaboration on deliverables. The program’s core purpose is to support nonprofit-led work that delivers education and training to community and state officials, helps develop and advance seismic policies, and improves information sharing so that earthquake loss-reduction programs are adopted more widely and implemented more effectively. In practical terms, this could include activities like workshops and trainings for decision-makers, outreach to promote seismic safety practices, development or dissemination of guidance that supports stronger mitigation policies, and convening partners to align regional strategies around earthquake preparedness and resilience.
From the funding details provided, the estimated total funding is $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The opportunity lists a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind, depending on the specific terms) toward the project. The funding activity category is identified as Earthquake Mitigation, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 97.082 (Earthquake Consortium). FEMA anticipated multiple awards in the broader listing (expected awards: 3), but the narrative description for this specific item indicates FEMA planned to enter into an agreement with one consortium/workgroup for Cascadia.
Eligibility is narrowly defined in the listing: it is intended for the Cascadia Region Earthquake Consortia, effectively making this opportunity targeted rather than open competition for a wide range of applicants. The opportunity was posted on August 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2012, and it was archived on October 7, 2012. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact provided is the FEMA GMD Systems Branch (GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov), and the general reference link points to FEMA’s website (fema.gov).
