Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program for Region 4 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. Its main purpose is to strengthen emergency management and overall preparedness by investing in Emergency Operations Centers that are flexible, sustainable, secure, strategically located, and fully interoperable. In practical terms, the program is designed to help states address documented gaps in their emergency coordination capabilities by funding projects that improve the physical facilities used to manage incidents, coordinate response resources, and maintain situational awareness during disasters and major emergencies.
This grant 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 funding is appropriated under the Department of Defense and Full Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Public Law 112-10). FEMA made an estimated total of $14,101,740 available under this opportunity for eligible projects focused on the construction or renovation of primary Emergency Operations Centers used by state, local, or tribal governments. The emphasis is on primary EOCs, meaning the core facilities that serve as the main coordination hubs during emergencies, rather than secondary or ancillary sites unless they are part of a broader effort to correct identified deficiencies in primary operational capability.
Eligibility for this specific posting is limited to state governments, indicating that applications were expected to come from state-level entities rather than directly from local or tribal governments, even though the funded projects could support EOC capabilities that benefit multiple levels of government. The program falls under the Homeland Security and Preparedness funding activity area and is listed under CFDA number 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center). A cost share or matching requirement applies, so applicants needed to contribute a portion of project costs from non-federal sources in line with the program guidance.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the allowable use of funds centers on construction or renovation activities that enhance EOC capability and interoperability. A key limitation is explicitly stated: the program is not intended to fund the construction or renovation of state, local, or tribal fusion centers. That distinction matters because fusion centers often focus on intelligence and information sharing, while this EOC program targets emergency management command-and-coordination facilities and the infrastructure needed to support incident management operations.
Important timeline details include a posted and created date of May 19, 2011, with an original and current application closing date of June 20, 2011. The opportunity was archived on July 20, 2011, indicating the submission window had closed and the listing was moved into historical status after that point. The official opportunity identifier is Funding Opportunity Number DHS-11-GPD-052-004-01, titled "Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program Region 4."
