Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) is a mandatory federal grant program designed to strengthen and maintain emergency management capabilities using an "all hazards" approach. The core idea behind the opportunity is that effective emergency response depends on having a well-rounded, consistent program in place before a crisis happens, regardless of whether the incident is caused by natural disasters, technological accidents, public health emergencies, or intentional acts. The grant emphasizes building and sustaining a comprehensive system of emergency management through planning, training, and exercises so state and local partners are better prepared to respond to threatened or actual disasters.
Funding for the FY 2010 EMPG was provided through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, and the program made roughly $329.8 million available in total estimated funding (listed as $329,799,991, with the description also citing $329,779,991). The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS-10-GPD-042-005-01 and is associated with CFDA number 97.042, titled Emergency Management Performance Grants. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is framed under homeland security preparedness, reflecting its focus on readiness, coordination, and operational capability across the emergency management mission set.
Eligibility is limited to state-level applicants. Specifically, all 56 states and territories are eligible, along with the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia. Applications are submitted to FEMA, and the program requires that only one application be accepted from each state or territory. For that reason, the eligible applicant on behalf of the state is either the State Administrative Agency (SAA) or the state Emergency Management Agency (EMA), which applies on behalf of state and local emergency management partners. This structure is meant to streamline funding requests and ensure statewide coordination rather than multiple competing submissions from within the same jurisdiction.
The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning award recipients must meet a non-federal share expectation as part of participation. While the summary data does not provide the exact match percentage or the detailed rules, applicants are repeatedly directed to consult the Fiscal Year 2010 EMPG Guidance and Application Kit for the full submission requirements, program conditions, and compliance expectations. In practice, that guidance document is where applicants would find details on allowable costs, performance and reporting requirements, match rules, pass-through expectations to local entities, and the specific capability areas the program expects jurisdictions to support.
From an administrative standpoint, the grant was posted and created on December 8, 2009, with an application closing date of January 22, 2010, and an archive date of February 21, 2010. The listing references Region 5 in the agency name field, but the program itself is FEMA-administered and national in scope, with eligible applicants spanning all states and territories. Applicants needing support were directed to DHS and FEMA help resources, including the Centralized Scheduling Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, as well as FEMA contact points such as the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and the Grants Management-related email ASK-GMD@dhs.gov, alongside the FEMA GPD Call Center referenced in the notice.
