Opportunity Summary:
The Earthquake Consortium and State Assistance Region IX opportunity is a FEMA cooperative agreement program designed to strengthen, improve, and sustain state-level earthquake hazard reduction efforts. FEMA planned to distribute an estimated total of 2,300,000 dollars across 33 awards to state governments, with the overall goal of reducing deaths, injuries, and property damage from earthquakes by boosting the capacity and effectiveness of existing state earthquake programs. The program sits under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), originally established by Public Law 95-124 and later amended, which directs FEMA to provide assistance to states for specific types of earthquake mitigation work.
The funding is intended for practical mitigation activities that help states plan for, assess, and reduce seismic risk. Eligible activities include developing or improving seismic mitigation plans; creating inventories of critical structures and lifelines and conducting seismic safety inspections of those assets; updating or strengthening building codes, zoning codes, and local ordinances to improve seismic safety; expanding earthquake awareness and public education; and encouraging or supporting multi-state collaboration groups that can coordinate earthquake risk reduction across state lines. FEMA emphasized that the specific projects ultimately funded would not be one-size-fits-all; instead, the scope of work would be set through individual negotiations between FEMA and each participating state, allowing priorities to reflect local needs and program maturity.
A notable restriction in the announcement is that projects or initiatives funded under this opportunity may not involve geospatial or GIS issues, meaning states would need to keep proposed work focused on planning, policy, inspections, education, and coordination rather than GIS-based mapping or geospatial analysis components. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the execution or oversight of the work compared with a standard grant, aligning with the stated approach of negotiated activities and regional technical support.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 21, 2010, with an application deadline of June 5, 2010, and an archive date of July 5, 2010. Work plans were to be reviewed within 30 days after the deadline, and applicants could be asked to clarify elements of their submissions if needed by the approving authority. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 97.082 (Earthquake Consortium) and was categorized under earthquake mitigation within an "Other" funding activity classification. FEMA regional offices, including Region IX, were identified as providing fiscal support and both pre-award and post-award administration as well as technical assistance, with contact information available through FEMA regional contact listings and the announcement hosted via grants.gov.
