Opportunity Summary:
Earthquake Consortium and State Assistance Region II is a FEMA (Department of Homeland Security) continuation funding opportunity built around a cooperative agreement model, meaning FEMA and the participating states work collaboratively rather than treating it as a simple pass-through grant. The program is tied to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), created under Public Law 95-124 (as amended), which directs FEMA to provide assistance to states for practical earthquake risk-reduction work. The core purpose is straightforward: strengthen, enhance, and sustain state-level earthquake hazard reduction programs so states are better positioned to reduce deaths, injuries, and property losses when damaging earthquakes occur.
FEMA anticipated making 33 awards to state governments, with an estimated total funding amount of about $2,300,000 under CFDA 97.082 (Earthquake Consortium). There is no cost share or matching requirement listed, which lowers the barrier for participation and allows states to focus resources on program deliverables rather than securing outside match funds. Because this is described as a continuation opportunity, it is aimed at maintaining and building on existing state earthquake mitigation capabilities rather than launching an entirely new, open-ended competition for any type of applicant.
The eligible activities center on concrete mitigation and readiness measures that states can incorporate into their long-term risk reduction frameworks. FEMA highlights support for developing or refining seismic mitigation plans, which typically means identifying earthquake hazards, analyzing vulnerabilities, setting priorities, and laying out strategies for reducing risk across buildings, lifelines, and communities. Funding can also support inventories and seismic safety inspections of critical structures and lifelines, such as hospitals, emergency operations facilities, bridges, utilities, and other infrastructure that must remain functional or safe during and after an earthquake. Another major focus is improving the regulatory backbone of seismic safety by updating building codes, zoning codes, and local ordinances to better reflect modern seismic design and land-use practices. In addition, the opportunity emphasizes outreach by increasing earthquake awareness and education, helping residents, institutions, and decision-makers understand local risks and take protective actions. Finally, FEMA encourages collaboration through multi-state groups, recognizing that earthquake risks and infrastructure networks often cross state lines and benefit from shared planning, standards, and coordination.
A notable constraint is that projects or initiatives funded under this announcement may not involve geospatial (GIS) issues, which narrows the scope away from mapping and GIS-driven analysis and toward planning, inspections, code and ordinance work, education, and multi-state coordination activities. Importantly, the specific projects to be funded are not pre-set in the announcement; instead, funded activities are determined through individual negotiations between FEMA and each participating state. This structure allows FEMA and states to tailor work plans to local seismic risk, existing program maturity, and the most pressing mitigation gaps.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 21, 2010, with a current closing date listed as July 20, 2010 (the original closing date was May 30, 2010). Work plans were to be reviewed within 30 days of the application deadline, and applicants could be asked to clarify submissions if needed by the approving authority. FEMA regional offices were identified as providing fiscal support and both pre- and post-award administration and technical assistance, with additional details and points of contact referenced through FEMA regional contact listings and Grants.gov (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-10-MT-082-002-04).
