Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) is a discretionary federal grant program designed to strengthen catastrophic incident preparedness in a limited set of pre-identified, high-risk, high-consequence urban areas. The central goal is to improve how major metropolitan regions plan for, coordinate, and manage extremely large disasters, whether natural or human-caused, by supporting regional, all-hazards planning efforts that bring together the many jurisdictions and disciplines that would have to work side by side during a catastrophic event.
RCPGP focuses less on buying equipment and more on building the planning and coordination backbone that determines whether response and recovery efforts work at scale. Funding is intended to help regions develop or improve integrated planning communities and the concrete products those communities produce, such as plans, protocols, and operational procedures tailored to catastrophic scenarios. A major emphasis is fixing shortcomings in existing plans, formalizing regional planning processes that can be sustained over time, and tying the operational needs identified in catastrophic plans to resource allocation decisions so that priorities in planning translate into real-world readiness.
The program is meant to push innovative approaches to catastrophic preparedness primarily through planning and personnel support, while also encouraging alignment of existing operational resources across the selected areas. In practical terms, this means fostering shared assumptions, coordinated decision-making structures, and interoperable approaches across multiple governments and response organizations that would otherwise plan separately. The overall framing is about improving national security and resilience by ensuring the highest-risk regions can coordinate across boundaries and manage complex, wide-area consequences.
For FY 2010, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 NPD 111 005 01; CFDA 97.111) offered an estimated total of $33,600,000 and anticipated 11 awards. The funding activity category is Homeland Security preparedness. A cost share or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources according to the program guidance.
Eligibility is restricted. Only the pre-designated eleven high-risk, high-consequence urban areas within the ten RCPGP sites that were funded in the FY 2009 cycle are eligible for FY 2010 participation. Applicants cannot self-nominate new regions into the program for this cycle. The Governor of each eligible state or territory must designate a State Administrative Agency (SAA), and that SAA is the only entity allowed to apply to FEMA for RCPGP funds and administer any award. Allocation details by site and urban area were provided in the FY 2010 RCPGP Guidance and Application Kit (referenced as containing Tables 1 and 2).
Key dates for the opportunity include a posted and creation date of December 8, 2009, with an application closing date of April 19, 2010, and an archive date of May 19, 2010. Applicants were specifically advised to review the official FY 2010 RCPGP Guidance and Application Kit for detailed submission requirements.
