Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) is a FEMA homeland security preparedness grant designed to strengthen how selected high-risk, high-consequence urban regions plan for and manage truly large-scale disasters. The core idea is not simply buying equipment or running isolated projects, but improving the way a whole region prepares for catastrophic incidents by building stronger, more coordinated planning across jurisdictions and disciplines. It focuses on all-hazards catastrophic planning, meaning the work should be useful whether the region faces a major natural disaster, terrorist attack, or other large-scale emergency that overwhelms normal response systems.
RCPGP funding is meant to help regions create and sustain integrated planning communities and to produce the practical products that come from those communities, such as regional plans, annexes, protocols, and procedures that spell out who does what when a catastrophic event occurs. A major emphasis is identifying and fixing weaknesses in existing plans, strengthening regional planning processes, and ensuring that the operational needs discovered during planning are connected to how resources get prioritized and allocated. In other words, the program is structured to move planning beyond documents on a shelf and toward actionable, coordinated approaches that match real operational requirements, including how existing resources will be aligned and used across the region when local capabilities are exceeded.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 NPD 111 003 01) under CFDA 97.111, with an estimated total funding amount of $33.6 million and an anticipated 11 awards. It includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so recipients should expect that federal funds must be supplemented according to the terms laid out in the program guidance. The funding activity is categorized under homeland security preparedness.
Eligibility is limited and pre-designated. Eligible applicants are state governments, but the application must be submitted by the State Administrative Agency (SAA) designated by the governor of each state or territory. The SAA is the only entity permitted to apply directly to FEMA for RCPGP funds and is responsible for administering any award. The eligible project areas are not open to new regions; they are restricted to the eleven pre-designated high-risk, high-consequence urban areas within the ten RCPGP sites that received funding in the FY 2009 cycle. Specific site allocations and the exact list of eligible urban areas are provided in Tables 1 and 2 of the FY 2010 RCPGP Guidance and Application Kit, and applicants are expected to follow that document closely when preparing submissions.
Key dates for the announcement include a posted and created date of December 8, 2009, with an application closing date of April 19, 2010, and an archive date of May 19, 2010. The opportunity listing emphasizes that applicants should carefully review the submission requirements in the FY 2010 RCPGP Guidance and Application Kit, which typically contains the detailed rules on allowable activities, matching, application components, investment justifications, and reporting expectations.
