Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program for Region 1 is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. Its central purpose is to strengthen emergency management and overall preparedness by investing in Emergency Operations Centers that are flexible, sustainable over time, secure, strategically located, and fully interoperable with partner agencies and systems. The program is designed to help recipients fix specific, documented capability gaps, meaning projects are expected to address identified deficiencies and operational needs rather than fund general upgrades without a clear preparedness justification.
This program is authorized under Section 614 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 6196c). For this cycle, the funds are appropriated under the Department of Defense and Full Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Public Law 112-10). FEMA lists the funding activity under Homeland Security and Preparedness, and the related CFDA number is 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center). The financial scope of the opportunity is substantial, with an estimated total funding amount of $14,101,740 available. Importantly, the funding is intended specifically for construction or renovation projects tied to a primary EOC serving a State, local, or Tribal government. The emphasis on "primary" EOCs signals that the program is focused on core coordination facilities that support command, control, communications, and multi-agency coordination during emergencies and disasters.
Eligibility for this particular announcement is limited to State governments, which typically apply on behalf of themselves and, where applicable, may manage sub-awards or coordinated investments that benefit local or tribal partners consistent with FEMA guidance. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching, which reduces the financial barrier to participation and allows applicants to propose projects based on operational need rather than the ability to provide non-federal funds.
A key limitation is that the EOC Grant Program is not meant to fund the construction or renovation of fusion centers. Even though fusion centers can be connected to homeland security and situational awareness missions, FEMA is explicit here that this EOC funding stream should not be used to build or renovate State, local, or Tribal fusion centers, keeping the program targeted on emergency operations and incident management functions rather than intelligence or information-sharing facilities.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on May 19, 2011, with an application closing date of June 20, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on July 20, 2011. The official opportunity identifier is DHS-11-GPD-052-001-01, titled "Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program Region 1," and the funding instrument type is a grant.
For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a point of contact through the Systems and Business Support Branch, reachable via email at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov. This contact is intended for technical access issues related to the announcement materials rather than programmatic guidance, though it serves as the documented support channel in the notice.
