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 grant opportunity designed to strengthen emergency management and overall preparedness by investing in emergency operations centers that are flexible, sustainable over time, secure, and able to communicate and coordinate effectively with partners (interoperable). In practical terms, the program focuses on helping governments address known gaps or deficiencies in their core EOC facilities so they can better manage incidents, share information, coordinate resources, and support decision-making during disasters and emergencies. The program is explicitly centered on EOCs as the operational coordination hub, and it is not meant to pay for the construction or renovation of state, local, or tribal fusion centers.

Legally, 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 for this particular fiscal year is provided through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-83). The total estimated amount available is 60,000,000, and the money is intended for construction or renovation of a state, local, or tribal government principal EOC. A large portion of the total, 47,442,500, is reserved as non-competitive funding for certain key EOC projects identified across the nation. The rest of the funds are awarded competitively, with selections based on a review process at both the state and national levels that evaluates submitted Investment Justifications, meaning applicants must clearly explain the project need, the capability improvements expected, and how the investment aligns to program priorities and preparedness outcomes.

The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the standard grant instrument. The funding activity area is homeland security preparedness, and it is listed under CFDA 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center). The program also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so recipients should expect that federal dollars must be complemented by non-federal contributions consistent with the guidance in the program’s application kit.

Eligibility is structured in a way that routes applications through a single statewide point of contact. While the improvements are meant to benefit eligible state, local, and tribal EOCs, the State Administrative Agency (SAA) is the only entity permitted to submit an application for funding on behalf of those eligible governments. Eligible beneficiaries include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, but they participate through their SAA rather than applying directly. This approach is meant to ensure statewide coordination and prioritization of projects, and it ties into the state and national review of proposed investments.

Key dates for this announcement show it was posted on December 8, 2009, with an original closing date of February 12, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of February 18, 2010. The archive date is March 20, 2010. Applicants are repeatedly advised in the announcement to closely follow the submission requirements in the Fiscal Year 2010 EOC Guidance and Application Kit, which is where the detailed rules on allowable activities, documentation, budgeting, match, and the required content of Investment Justifications would be found.

For assistance, the announcement points applicants to DHS and FEMA support channels, including the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, along with FEMA call center contacts at (866) 927-5646 and ASK-GMD@dhs.gov.
