Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) is a discretionary homeland security preparedness grant designed to strengthen how selected high-risk, high-consequence urban areas plan for and manage truly large-scale disasters. The program focuses less on buying equipment and more on improving the planning and coordination that determines whether a region can function during a catastrophic event. Its core aim is to enhance catastrophic incident preparedness by supporting regional, all-hazards planning for events that overwhelm normal day-to-day capabilities, such as major earthquakes, large terrorist attacks, or other incidents with cascading impacts across jurisdictions and critical infrastructure.
RCPGP is built around the idea that catastrophic preparedness works best when it is regional and integrated. Funding is intended to help participating areas create or expand integrated planning communities and to produce the plans, protocols, and procedures needed to manage a catastrophic event across multiple agencies and levels of government. A key theme is fixing gaps in existing plans and strengthening regional planning processes so that the many entities involved in response and recovery are operating from a shared playbook. Another major objective is linking the operational needs identified in catastrophic plans to resource allocation, meaning the program encourages regions to identify what capabilities and resources are actually required during worst-case scenarios, and then align existing resources accordingly rather than treating planning as a standalone paperwork exercise.
The program also emphasizes innovation in catastrophic preparedness through planning and personnel, and it supports approaches that improve coordination and operational alignment across the 10 selected RCPGP sites. In practice, this means grant-supported work can include building stronger planning structures, improving decision-making frameworks, clarifying roles and responsibilities, standardizing procedures, and ensuring that interdependent systems (public safety, public health, transportation, logistics, communications, and continuity of government) are planned together rather than separately.
From the funding and administrative perspective, this opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 NPD 111 009 01 and is associated with CFDA 97.111 (Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program). The estimated total funding amount was $33,600,000, with an anticipated 11 awards. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, so recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources in line with the program rules described in the official guidance. The opportunity was posted and created on December 8, 2009, with an original and current application closing date of April 19, 2010, and an archive date of May 19, 2010. Applicants were specifically instructed to rely on the Fiscal Year 2010 RCPGP Guidance and Application Kit for detailed submission and compliance requirements.
Eligibility was narrow and limited to state governments acting through a State Administrative Agency (SAA) designated by the Governor. The SAA was the only entity permitted to apply to FEMA and administer RCPGP funds. Eligible applicants were further restricted to the pre-designated eleven high-risk, high-consequence urban areas located within the ten RCPGP sites that had received funding under the FY 2009 RCPGP cycle. Allocation details for each site and urban area were provided in Tables 1 and 2 of the FY 2010 program guidance, reinforcing that this was a continuation and refinement effort focused on specific regions rather than an open nationwide competition.
The administering federal entity listed for the announcement was FEMA (with an agency reference to Region 9 in the source data), and the opportunity provided several support contacts for applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement or needed assistance. These included the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and ASK-GMD@dhs.gov, and an RCPGP account contact at RCPGP@dhs.gov.
