Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) is a Department of Homeland Security, FEMA-administered grant program designed to help states and territories build and maintain strong, all-hazards emergency management capability. The core idea behind the opportunity is that communities respond best to disasters when they have a year-round, comprehensive program in place that ties together planning, training, and exercises. Rather than focusing on a single type of incident, EMPG supports preparedness for any threatened or actual emergency or disaster, regardless of cause, by strengthening the emergency management systems that coordinate response and recovery.
This FY 2010 funding round was issued as a mandatory grant opportunity under Funding Opportunity Number DHS-10-GPD-042-006-01, with the title "Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG)." The program is aligned to homeland security preparedness and is listed under CFDA 97.042, Emergency Management Performance Grants. FEMA anticipated 58 awards, reflecting awards across the states, territories, and a small number of additional eligible entities. The total estimated funding amount is about $329.8 million (listed as $329,799,991 in the opportunity data, with the description also referencing $329,779,991), appropriated through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010.
Eligibility is limited to state-level applicants: all 56 states and territories are eligible, along with the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia. The application must be submitted to FEMA by a single state-level entity, either the State Administrative Agency (SAA) or the state Emergency Management Agency (EMA), and only one application per state or territory will be accepted. While the grant is intended to benefit both state and local emergency management agencies, local jurisdictions do not apply directly; instead, the state applies on their behalf and manages distribution and program implementation consistent with federal guidance.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources as part of meeting program costs. Applicants were instructed to follow the detailed submission and program requirements contained in the FY 2010 EMPG Guidance and Application Kit, which governs how proposals must be assembled, what activities are allowable, and how performance and compliance will be handled.
