Opportunity Summary:
The Earthquake Consortium and State Assistance - Region V opportunity is a FEMA cooperative agreement program designed to strengthen, enhance, and maintain state earthquake hazard reduction efforts. FEMA’s goal is straightforward: help states reduce deaths, injuries, and property damage from damaging earthquakes by investing in practical mitigation planning, safer construction practices, and stronger preparedness and education at the state level. The program sits under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), which was established by Public Law 95-124 (as amended) and directs FEMA to provide assistance to states for eligible earthquake mitigation activities.
This solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-10-MT-082-005-04; CFDA 97.082, Earthquake Consortium) was posted on April 21, 2010, and is categorized as a continuation opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument. FEMA anticipated making awards to 33 states, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,300,000. Eligible applicants are state governments only, and there is no cost share or matching requirement listed, meaning states are not required to contribute a specific percentage of non-federal funds to participate.
The funding is intended to support a range of state-level activities that directly improve earthquake resilience. Eligible activities include developing or refining seismic mitigation plans, creating inventories and performing seismic safety inspections of critical structures and lifelines (such as key public buildings, bridges, utilities, and other essential systems), and updating building codes, zoning codes, and local ordinances to improve seismic safety. The program also emphasizes public-facing efforts like increasing earthquake awareness and education, as well as encouraging the formation and development of multi-state groups or partnerships that can coordinate across state lines on shared seismic risk and mitigation priorities.
A key feature of this opportunity is that the specific projects funded are not set as a single prescribed list for all participants; instead, activities are to be determined through individual negotiations between FEMA and each state. In other words, states propose work plans and FEMA works with them to shape final, approved activities under the cooperative agreement structure. FEMA indicated that work plans would be reviewed within 30 days after the application deadline, and applicants could be asked to clarify submissions if the approving authority needed additional information.
There is also an important restriction included in the notice: projects or initiatives funded under this announcement may not involve geospatial (GIS) issues. That limitation is unusual for hazard-related work, but it is explicitly stated here and would affect how states design inventories, inspections, mapping-related analyses, and data management approaches.
Key timeline details included an original closing date of May 30, 2010, which was extended to a current closing date of June 5, 2010, with the archive date listed as July 5, 2010. Administrative and technical support were to be provided through FEMA regional offices, with additional information and application access through Grants.gov, and regional contact details available through FEMA’s regional contacts page.
