Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) is a discretionary federal grant program designed to strengthen preparedness for large-scale, catastrophic incidents in a small set of pre-identified urban areas considered high risk and high consequence. The program is focused less on buying equipment and more on building the planning and coordination backbone needed to manage truly overwhelming events. In practical terms, it aims to improve how regions plan together across jurisdictions and disciplines so that, when a catastrophic incident occurs, agencies are not trying to invent coordination structures, decision processes, or resource priorities in the middle of the crisis.
RCPGP emphasizes regional, all-hazards catastrophic planning. That includes creating and sustaining integrated planning communities (the cross-agency, multi-jurisdiction groups that actually do the work), developing or refining plans, and producing the protocols and procedures that let different agencies operate as one during extreme conditions. A key idea behind the program is that catastrophic events expose gaps that routine planning often overlooks, so RCPGP pushes participating regions to identify shortcomings in existing plans and correct them. It also tries to connect the operational needs identified in catastrophic plans to resource allocation, meaning the planning should lead to clearly defined requirements and priorities that can guide how resources and capabilities are aligned.
The program supports innovative approaches to catastrophic preparedness primarily through planning and personnel, and by better aligning existing operational resources within the selected areas. In other words, it is meant to help regions use what they already have more effectively by improving coordination, clarifying roles, and establishing workable systems for multi-agency response and recovery at catastrophic scale.
For FY 2010, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 NPD 111 010 01 with CFDA 97.111 (Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program). The funding instrument is a grant, categorized under Homeland Security preparedness. The estimated total funding amount is $33,600,000, and the opportunity anticipated 11 awards. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so recipients were expected to contribute an eligible match consistent with the program guidance.
Eligibility is tightly limited. Only the pre-designated eleven high risk, high consequence urban areas within the ten RCPGP sites that received funding under the FY 2009 RCPGP cycle are eligible to participate in FY 2010. The applicant entity is also restricted: the Governor of each state or territory must designate a State Administrative Agency (SAA), and that SAA is the only organization eligible to apply to FEMA and administer RCPGP funds on the state’s behalf. Allocation details for each site and urban area were provided in the FY 2010 RCPGP Guidance and Application Kit (referenced as containing Tables 1 and 2 with site-by-site allocations).
Key dates for the FY 2010 posting were a Posted Date and Creation Date of December 8, 2009, with an application closing date of April 19, 2010 (the original and current closing dates are the same in the listing). The archive date for the opportunity was May 19, 2010. Applicants were repeatedly advised in the notice to carefully follow the submission requirements contained in the FY 2010 RCPGP Guidance and Application Kit, indicating that compliance with detailed application instructions was an important condition for consideration.
The administering federal entity in the listing is FEMA (within the Department of Homeland Security), and the agency name is shown as Region 10 in the source data. For support, the notice provides multiple contact channels, including the Centralized Scheduling 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-specific contact at RCPGP@dhs.gov.
