Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) is a Department of Homeland Security/FEMA grant program designed to help states and territories build and maintain strong, all-hazards emergency management programs. The core idea behind the opportunity is that communities respond best to disasters when they have a consistent, well-rounded foundation in place before an incident happens. That foundation is described as a comprehensive program of planning, training, and exercises that can be applied to any emergency, whether the cause is natural, technological, or human-made. In other words, EMPG funding is aimed less at a single type of threat and more at sustaining the everyday emergency management capabilities that make effective response and coordination possible across many scenarios.
For FY 2010, Congress appropriated roughly $329.8 million for EMPG under the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 (referenced in the notice as Public Law 110-83). The listing shows an estimated total funding amount of $329,799,991 (with the narrative also citing $329,779,991), and the program anticipated 58 awards. The opportunity is categorized as mandatory and uses the grant funding instrument. Its activity focus is tied to homeland security preparedness, reflecting the program’s role in strengthening emergency management capacity across the full disaster cycle, particularly preparedness activities like developing plans, conducting trainings, and running exercises that test and improve readiness.
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. Applications are submitted to FEMA by either the State Administrative Agency (SAA) or the state’s Emergency Management Agency (EMA) on behalf of state and local emergency management agencies, but the rules specify that only one application will be accepted from each state or territory. That setup signals that EMPG is meant to be coordinated at the state level, with the state serving as the central applicant and administrator for activities that support both state and local emergency management capabilities.
The program has a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project costs in addition to the federal award. The announcement emphasizes that applicants should closely follow the detailed submission instructions provided in the Fiscal Year 2010 EMPG Guidance and Application Kit, which would lay out the exact requirements, allowable costs, and documentation needed to be considered compliant and eligible.
The posting and creation date for the opportunity were December 8, 2009, and the application deadline was January 22, 2010, with the opportunity archived on February 21, 2010. The catalog reference is CFDA 97.042, Emergency Management Performance Grants. The issuing agency is listed as “Region 9,” consistent with FEMA’s regional structure. For support, the notice provides contacts for applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically or who need help with the application process, including the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, and FEMA call center contacts at (866) 927-5646 and ASK-GMD@dhs.gov.
