Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) preparedness grant designed to strengthen emergency management and response by helping governments build, renovate, and modernize their primary Emergency Operations Centers. The program focuses on ensuring EOCs are flexible, sustainable, secure, and interoperable so they can coordinate effectively during disasters and major incidents, and it specifically aims to close gaps or fix deficiencies that have been identified in existing EOC capabilities. The authority for the program comes from Section 614 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 6196c), and the funding was appropriated through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-83). A key boundary of the program is that it is not meant to fund the construction or renovation of state, local, or tribal fusion centers; the money is targeted to EOCs rather than intelligence or fusion center facilities.

Total estimated funding for this opportunity is $60,000,000, and it is structured with both set-aside and competitive components. Of the total, $47,442,500 is reserved as non-competitive funding for pre-identified, high-priority EOC projects across the country. The remainder of the funds are distributed through a competitive process. Competitive applications are evaluated through state and national reviews, with decisions informed by the applicant Investment Justifications, which are essentially the formal narratives and documentation explaining the need, the project plan, and the expected capability improvements.

The grants are intended to support construction or renovation of a state, local, or tribal government principal EOC. In practice, that means the facility that serves as the main coordination hub for emergency management at that level of government. The emphasis on interoperability signals that projects should enhance the ability to communicate and coordinate across agencies and jurisdictions, while the focus on security and sustainability suggests attention to resilient facility design, continuity of operations, and reliable systems that can function during extended emergencies.

Eligibility is limited in a specific way: while the ultimate beneficiaries can be state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, the only entity that can apply directly for funding is the State Administrative Agency (SAA). The SAA applies on behalf of eligible state, local, and tribal EOCs, which means local or tribal applicants typically coordinate with their state to be included in the state submission package and to ensure their project is prioritized and compliant with the program guidance.

This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The listed CFDA number is 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center). The program includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute a portion of project costs from non-federal sources, and applicants are expected to follow the detailed submission and documentation rules in the Fiscal Year 2010 EOC Guidance and Application Kit.

Key dates show the grant was posted on December 8, 2009, created on January 29, 2010, and originally due February 12, 2010, with the closing date later extended to February 18, 2010. The opportunity was archived on March 20, 2010. For support, DHS provided applicant assistance through the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, and FEMA support lines including (866) 927-5646 and ASK-GMD@dhs.gov.
