Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) is a Department of Homeland Security and FEMA grant program designed to help states and territories build, maintain, and strengthen day-to-day emergency management capability using an all-hazards approach. The core idea behind the opportunity is that communities respond best to any disaster, whether natural, technological, or human-caused, when they have a solid, well-practiced emergency management program in place. That program is expected to be comprehensive, meaning it supports planning, training, and exercises that together create a consistent and effective response framework for threatened or actual emergencies.

Funding for FY 2010 EMPG was provided through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, and the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of about $329.8 million (with the description referencing $329,779,991 and the opportunity data listing $329,799,991). The program is categorized under Homeland Security preparedness and is offered as a grant under a mandatory opportunity category. The CFDA number associated with this program is 97.042, titled Emergency Management Performance Grants. FEMA anticipated making 58 awards, which aligns with funding being distributed across states, territories, and certain freely associated states that qualify under the eligibility rules.

Eligibility is limited to state-level applicants rather than individual local jurisdictions applying directly. All 56 states and territories are eligible, along with the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia. Applications must be submitted to FEMA by the appropriate statewide entity, and the program is structured so that only one application is accepted per state or territory. The eligible applicant on behalf of each state or territory is either the State Administrative Agency (SAA) or the state Emergency Management Agency (EMA), which then serves as the primary applicant representing state and local emergency management interests in that jurisdiction.

A cost share or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients should expect that federal funds must be paired with non-federal contributions according to the program guidance. The announcement emphasizes that applicants need to closely follow the specific submission instructions in the Fiscal Year 2010 EMPG Guidance and Application Kit, indicating that the detailed requirements, allowable activities, and documentation standards are contained in that guidance rather than in the brief synopsis alone.

Key dates for the opportunity show it 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 funding opportunity number is DHS-10-GPD-042-001-01, and the title is Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG). The administering agency is listed as Region 1, reflecting FEMA regional organization in the posting, though the program itself is national in scope and supports statewide and local emergency management capabilities.

For applicants or stakeholders who needed help accessing the full announcement or navigating the application process, the notice provides several contact options, including the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646, and the FEMA Grants Management help address at ASK-GMD@dhs.gov. These contacts suggest the program anticipated a formal grants management process with technical assistance available for submission and administrative questions.
