Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program for Region 3 is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to strengthen emergency management and preparedness by improving Emergency Operations Centers. The central purpose of the program is to help jurisdictions build or modernize EOCs so they are flexible and sustainable over time, physically secure, strategically located to support incident management, and fully interoperable with partner agencies and systems. The emphasis is on closing known capability gaps by targeting clearly identified deficiencies and needs, rather than funding general-purpose upgrades without a demonstrated preparedness rationale.

The program is authorized under Section 614 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 6196c), which establishes federal support for EOC-related improvements as part of national preparedness. For this cycle, the funding source is tied to the Department of Defense and Full Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Public Law 112-10). The total estimated funding available is $14,101,740, and awards are intended specifically for construction or renovation projects associated with a State, local, or Tribal government primary EOC. A key boundary in the scope is that the program is not meant to pay for the construction or renovation of State, local, or Tribal fusion centers, indicating that proposed projects must stay focused on EOC functions and facilities rather than intelligence or information-sharing centers that fall under different program priorities.

Eligibility for this announcement is limited to state governments, meaning applications are expected to come through the state as the applicant of record, even when the intended project benefits local or tribal primary EOC facilities. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is categorized under homeland security preparedness (funding activity category: "Other," clarified as Homeland Security - Preparedness). The associated CFDA number is 97.052, which corresponds to the Emergency Operations Center grant program. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should anticipate having to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program rules described in the full guidance.

From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on May 19, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 20, 2011, and it was archived on July 20, 2011. The official funding opportunity number is DHS-11-GPD-052-003-01, and the title is "Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program Region 3." For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, FEMA provides a program guidance contact point through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, which is intended to help with access and related technical issues.
