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 and response by funding improvements to Emergency Operations Centers. The core goal is to boost overall preparedness capabilities by supporting EOCs that are flexible, sustainable over time, secure, and interoperable across agencies and jurisdictions, while also addressing documented gaps and deficiencies. The program is specifically aimed at construction or renovation projects for a state, local, or tribal government principal EOC, meaning the main facility used to coordinate incident management and multi-agency response.

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). Total available funding is $60,000,000. A large portion, $47,442,500, is set aside as non-competitive funding for designated key EOC projects across the country. The remaining funds are awarded competitively, and selection is based on a state and national review process that evaluates Investment Justifications submitted by applicants. A key limitation is that the program is not meant to fund construction or renovation of fusion centers; proposals should stay clearly focused on EOC facilities and their emergency management mission.

Eligibility is structured so that the State Administrative Agency (SAA) is the only entity permitted to apply directly for these funds, and it applies on behalf of eligible EOC projects within the state. The underlying eligible beneficiaries include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized tribal governments, but they participate through the SAA rather than applying independently. The grant is categorized as a discretionary grant within the homeland security preparedness area, listed under CFDA 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center). Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should be prepared to document non-federal contributions consistent with the detailed guidance in the program’s application kit.

Key dates for this funding cycle show it was posted December 8, 2009, with an original closing date of February 12, 2010 that was later extended to February 18, 2010, and an archive date of March 20, 2010. Applicants were repeatedly directed to closely follow the submission requirements in the Fiscal Year 2010 EOC Guidance and Application Kit, which typically covers eligible and ineligible costs, environmental and historical preservation requirements for construction/renovation, documentation standards, and the format and scoring criteria for the Investment Justification.

For assistance, the announcement lists multiple support channels, including the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, as well as FEMA support lines including the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and the Grants Management help address (ASK-GMD@dhs.gov).
