Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) is a discretionary Department of Homeland Security/FEMA grant (CFDA 97.111) designed to strengthen how selected high-risk, high-consequence urban areas prepare for truly large-scale, catastrophic incidents. The central aim is not buying equipment or running isolated projects, but improving regional readiness through coordinated, all-hazards planning that can actually work when a disaster overwhelms normal systems. The program focuses on building and sustaining integrated planning communities across a region and then turning that collaboration into practical plans, protocols, and procedures for managing a catastrophic event.
A key feature of the FY 2010 RCPGP is that it is meant to address gaps and weaknesses in existing plans and planning processes. It encourages regions to fix known shortcomings, create stronger planning structures, and connect what planners identify as operational needs to real-world resource allocation decisions. In other words, the grant is structured to push regions beyond paper plans by tying catastrophic planning to the operational capabilities and resources that would be needed during a major incident. The program also explicitly supports innovative approaches to catastrophic preparedness, particularly through planning activities and personnel support, and by better aligning existing operational resources across the participating areas.
Funding for this opportunity was estimated at $33,600,000 total, with an expectation of 11 awards. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program guidance. The opportunity was posted on December 8, 2009, and closed on April 19, 2010, with the archive date listed as May 19, 2010. Applicants were repeatedly instructed to rely on the official FY 2010 RCPGP Guidance and Application Kit for detailed submission requirements, allocations, and other mandatory application elements.
Eligibility was limited and highly specific. Only the pre-designated eleven high-risk, high-consequence urban areas within the ten established RCPGP sites that received funding under the FY 2009 RCPGP cycle could apply in FY 2010. Even within those locations, the only eligible applicant to FEMA was the State Administrative Agency (SAA) designated by the Governor of each state or territory. The SAA served as the official applicant and administrator of the award, which reinforces that the program is meant to support statewide and regional coordination rather than fragmented local applications. Allocation details by site and urban area were provided in Tables 1 and 2 of the program’s Guidance and Application Kit.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS-10-NPD-111-001-01 and categorized under Homeland Security preparedness (listed as “Other” with a category explanation specifying homeland security preparedness). For support or access issues related to the full announcement, DHS/FEMA provided multiple points of contact, including 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 program contact at RCPGP@dhs.gov.
