Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program is a Department of Homeland Security grant opportunity designed to strengthen emergency management and preparedness by helping governments build or modernize their primary Emergency Operations Centers. The core idea behind the program is to improve how EOCs function during incidents by making them more flexible, sustainable, secure, and interoperable, while also closing specific capability gaps that have been identified through assessments and planning. The program is authorized under 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). It is focused on EOCs as the central coordination hubs for incident response and recovery, not on other facility types.

A total of $60,000,000 was made available under this opportunity, specifically for construction or renovation activities tied to a state, local, or tribal government principal EOC. A large portion of that amount, $47,442,500, was reserved as non-competitive funding for designated, high-priority EOC projects across the country. The remaining funds were set aside for competitive awards. Those competitive dollars were to be distributed to eligible applicants based on a review process that included both state-level and national-level evaluation of Investment Justifications, meaning applicants had to clearly explain the need, the deficiencies being addressed, the proposed solution, and the expected impact on preparedness and coordination.

Eligibility is structured in a way that requires applications to flow through the State Administrative Agency (SAA). In practical terms, even though the program ultimately supports state, local, and tribal EOCs, the SAA is the only entity permitted to submit the application for funding on behalf of those eligible EOC projects. The list of eligible end recipients includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, but the submission path is centralized through the state to coordinate priorities, documentation, and the overall investment strategy.

This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a grant instrument. It is associated with CFDA 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center), and it includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were expected to contribute a portion of project costs in accordance with the program guidance. Because construction and renovation grants typically involve significant planning, design, environmental and historic preservation considerations, and procurement controls, applicants were directed to closely follow the detailed submission and compliance instructions in the FY 2010 EOC Guidance and Application Kit.

The posting and application timeline for this opportunity ran through the winter of 2009 to early 2010. The opportunity was posted on December 8, 2009, with an original closing date of February 12, 2010, later extended to February 18, 2010. The opportunity was archived on March 20, 2010. The funding opportunity number is DHS-10-GPD-052-009-01, and the issuing agency information in the source data references Region 9. For technical help or difficulty accessing the announcement, applicants were provided support contacts including the CSID Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, along with FEMA call center contacts.

One important limitation is explicitly stated: the program is not intended to fund the construction or renovation of state, local, or tribal Fusion Centers. While Fusion Centers and EOCs can both support homeland security and incident management, this grant is narrowly aimed at improving primary EOC facilities and their ability to support coordinated response operations, rather than intelligence or information-sharing center buildouts.
