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 preparedness by helping governments build or modernize their primary Emergency Operations Centers. The goal is to support EOCs that are flexible and sustainable over time, secure against threats and hazards, and interoperable so that agencies can communicate and coordinate effectively during incidents. The program is meant to address concrete gaps, needs, and deficiencies that jurisdictions have already identified in their emergency management capabilities, with an emphasis on improving the facilities that serve as the central coordination hub during disasters and major emergencies.

This 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 is appropriated through the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-83). In total, $60,000,000 was made available for grants focused specifically on the construction or renovation of a state, local, or tribal government’s principal EOC. A significant portion of the funding, $47,442,500, was set aside for non-competitive awards tied to key EOC projects identified across the country. The remaining funds were reserved for competitive allocation, with awards determined after review at both the state and national level, based on the quality and justification of the submitted Investment Justifications.

Eligibility is structured in a way that centralizes applications through the state. While the projects themselves can benefit state, county, city or township, and federally recognized tribal governments, the State Administrative Agency (SAA) is the only entity permitted to apply for funding on behalf of eligible state, local, and tribal EOCs. In practice, that means counties, municipalities, and tribes generally must coordinate with their SAA to be included in the state’s submission and prioritization process rather than applying directly to DHS/FEMA on their own.

The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a grant as the funding instrument. It falls under the homeland security preparedness area and is associated with CFDA number 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center). The program includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute a portion of project costs from non-federal sources, consistent with the rules laid out in the program’s guidance materials.

The timeline for this funding round reflects a typical federal grant cycle from posting through closeout. The opportunity was posted on December 8, 2009, created in the system on January 29, 2010, and initially closed on February 12, 2010, with a revised closing date of February 18, 2010. The record was archived on March 20, 2010. Applicants were repeatedly advised to follow the detailed submission requirements in the Fiscal Year 2010 EOC Guidance and Application Kit, which would have governed eligible costs, documentation standards, and the specific format and content expected for Investment Justifications.

A key restriction is that the program is not intended to fund the construction or renovation of fusion centers. Even though fusion centers can be part of a broader homeland security and information-sharing ecosystem, this funding is targeted to EOCs as the primary incident management and coordination facility rather than intelligence or analytic centers.

For support, the notice lists federal help resources for applicants who cannot access the announcement or who need assistance with the application process, including the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, and FEMA call center contacts such as (866) 927-5646 and ASK-GMD@dhs.gov. These contacts are intended to help applicants navigate technical access issues and grant submission questions tied to the EOC program materials.
