Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program is a Department of Homeland Security preparedness grant designed to strengthen emergency management by helping governments build, renovate, and modernize their primary Emergency Operations Centers. The program focuses on making EOCs more flexible and sustainable over time, more secure against threats and hazards, and more interoperable so they can reliably share information and coordinate operations across agencies and jurisdictions. In practical terms, the grant is meant to address known capability gaps and documented deficiencies in existing EOC facilities that could limit effective response and coordination during disasters and major incidents.

This opportunity is authorized under Section 614 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 6196c), with funding appropriated through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-83). The total funding available for FY 2010 is $60,000,000. A large portion of that amount, $47,442,500, is reserved as non-competitive funding for identified priority EOC projects around the country. The remaining funds are distributed through a competitive process. Competitive selections are based on Investment Justifications that are reviewed first at the state level and then nationally, meaning applicants must clearly explain the need, the deficiencies being addressed, and how the project improves EOC capability and preparedness outcomes.

Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized tribal governments, but the application pathway is limited: the State Administrative Agency (SAA) is the only entity that can submit an application for funding. In other words, local and tribal EOC projects are typically submitted through the SAA rather than directly by the local or tribal government. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should plan for non-federal contributions as part of the overall project budget and compliance approach.

The funding instrument is a discretionary grant and is categorized under Homeland Security preparedness (CFDA 97.052, Emergency Operations Center). The program is specifically intended for construction or renovation of a state, local, or tribal government principal EOC, and the announcement clearly notes what it is not for: it is not intended to fund the construction or renovation of state, local, or tribal Fusion Centers. Applicants were directed to follow the detailed submission instructions in the FY 2010 EOC Grant Program Guidance and Application Kit to ensure eligibility, documentation, and review requirements were met.

Key dates for the opportunity reflect its FY 2010 cycle. The opportunity was posted on December 8, 2009, with an original application closing date of February 12, 2010, later extended to February 18, 2010. The listing was archived on March 20, 2010. For support, the announcement provided help resources including the CSID Help Line (800-368-6498, askcsid@dhs.gov) and FEMA call center contacts (866-927-5646 and ASK-GMD@dhs.gov) for application and system assistance.
