Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) is a mandatory federal grant program designed to help states and eligible territories strengthen and maintain their ability to manage emergencies using an "all-hazards" approach. The core idea behind the program is that communities respond more effectively to any disaster or crisis, whether natural, technological, or human-caused, when they have a well-rounded emergency management system already in place. EMPG supports the development and sustainment of comprehensive emergency management programs built around key preparedness activities such as planning, training, and conducting exercises, which together create a consistent foundation for response and coordination when real incidents occur.
Funding for this opportunity was provided through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 110-83). The estimated total funding amount for FY 2010 EMPG is approximately $329.8 million (listed as $329,799,991 in the opportunity data, and described as $329,779,991 in the narrative summary). The program anticipated making 58 awards, aligning with the set of eligible states, territories, and certain freely associated states. The assistance listing for the program is CFDA 97.042, titled Emergency Management Performance Grants, and the opportunity is categorized under homeland security preparedness. The award mechanism is a grant, and the posting date and creation date were both December 8, 2009, with an application closing date of January 22, 2010. The archive date was February 21, 2010.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, specifically all 56 states and U.S. territories, plus the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia. A key administrative detail is that only one application may be submitted per state or territory. That application must be submitted to FEMA by either the State Administrative Agency (SAA) or the state Emergency Management Agency (EMA), acting on behalf of state and local emergency management partners. This structure is meant to keep the application process centralized and coordinated at the state level, rather than allowing multiple competing submissions from within the same jurisdiction.
The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute a portion of the program costs from non-federal sources according to the rules laid out in the EMPG Guidance and Application Kit. Applicants were specifically instructed to rely on that guidance document for detailed submission requirements, allowable costs, and program expectations, signaling that compliance with the application kit is essential for a complete and acceptable submission.
For help with accessing the full announcement or addressing submission issues, the listing provides several support contacts, including the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, as well as FEMA support lines at (866) 927-5646 and ASK-GMD@dhs.gov. The opportunity is associated with FEMA and is shown under Region 10 in the source data, though the eligibility and scope are national across the listed states and territories.
