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 sustain strong, all-hazards emergency management capabilities. The core idea behind the opportunity is that communities respond best to disasters when they invest ahead of time in a full, coordinated program that ties together planning, training, and exercises. By supporting those fundamentals, EMPG aims to improve readiness and ensure a more consistent and effective response to any major incident, whether it is caused by natural hazards, accidents, or intentional acts.
For FY 2010, the program was funded through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 110-83). The estimated total funding available under this opportunity is about $329.8 million (listed as $329,799,991 in the opportunity data, with the narrative description also referencing $329,779,991). The opportunity is categorized as mandatory and uses the grant funding instrument. It is associated with CFDA 97.042, Emergency Management Performance Grants, and it falls under the broader purpose area of homeland security preparedness. The anticipated number of awards is 58, reflecting awards to states, territories, and certain eligible island partners.
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 Emergency Management Agency (EMA) on behalf of state and local emergency management partners, but only one application is accepted per state or territory. In practice, this means the state designates a single lead entity to apply and coordinate the program, rather than having multiple agencies submit separately.
A cost share or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute a portion of project costs using non-federal resources consistent with the program guidance. Applicants are instructed to follow the detailed submission and compliance requirements in the Fiscal Year 2010 EMPG Guidance and Application Kit, which governs what activities are allowable, how budgets should be structured, and what documentation must be included.
Key dates for the opportunity include a posted and creation date of 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-042-003-01, and the title is Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG).
