Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) is a Department of Homeland Security, FEMA-supported grant program designed to help states and territories build and maintain strong, all-hazards emergency management capabilities. The core idea behind the opportunity is that effective disaster response does not happen spontaneously during a crisis; it is built in advance through coordinated planning, ongoing training, and realistic exercises that prepare emergency management agencies to respond consistently to any kind of incident, whether it is natural, technological, or human-caused. The program emphasizes an all-hazards approach, meaning recipients are expected to strengthen systems and capabilities that apply across a wide range of emergencies rather than focusing on a single threat.
For FY 2010, the program made an estimated total of $329,799,991 available (the narrative description cites $329,779,991, while the estimated total funding field lists $329,799,991). The opportunity is listed as mandatory and uses a grant funding instrument. It falls under a homeland security preparedness funding activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 97.042, Emergency Management Performance Grants. The grant anticipates 58 awards, which aligns with the number of eligible state and territorial-level applicants when including additional jurisdictions referenced in the eligibility section.
Eligibility is limited to state governments and specific territorial or freely associated jurisdictions. 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 at the state or territory level, and FEMA will accept only one application per state or territory. The applicant must be either the State Administrative Agency (SAA) or the state Emergency Management Agency (EMA), applying on behalf of state and local emergency management agencies. This structure signals that the program is meant to support statewide emergency management systems and pass-through support to local partners under a coordinated state framework, rather than allowing multiple competing applications from within the same state.
The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall cost of the supported activities, consistent with EMPG program rules. Because matching and documentation requirements can be detailed and can affect budgeting and compliance, applicants are specifically advised to review the Fiscal Year 2010 EMPG Guidance and Application Kit for the full submission requirements and conditions.
