Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program for Region 5 is a discretionary FEMA grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security focused on strengthening emergency management and preparedness through improved Emergency Operations Centers. The core purpose is to fund construction or renovation projects that make primary EOCs more capable and reliable during incidents, with an emphasis on facilities that are flexible in how they can be used, sustainable over time, physically secure, strategically located to support operations, and fully interoperable with partner agencies and jurisdictions. A key theme in the program description is that investments should be tied to clearly identified deficiencies and documented needs, meaning applicants are expected to show why the upgrades are necessary and how they will measurably improve coordination and response.
Legally, the program is authorized by Section 614 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 6196c). Funding for this cycle is tied to federal appropriations under the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Public Law 112-10). The total funding available is listed as $14,101,740, intended specifically for grants that support construction or renovation of a State, local, or Tribal government primary EOC. The announcement also makes an explicit boundary about what the money is not for: it is not intended to fund the construction or renovation of State, local, or Tribal Fusion Centers, which are separate types of facilities with different missions and funding streams.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS-11-GPD-052-005-01 and is associated with CFDA 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed under Homeland Security preparedness. The only eligible applicants are State governments, which typically means the state-level administrative agency applies on behalf of statewide priorities and may then manage projects that benefit state, local, or tribal primary EOCs consistent with program rules. The announcement notes that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should plan for non-federal contributions as part of the project budget rather than expecting the federal award to cover 100 percent of costs.
Timing details in the posting indicate the opportunity was posted and created on May 19, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 20, 2011, and an archive date of July 20, 2011. The awarding agency is FEMA within DHS. For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, the provided contact point is FEMA support staff via the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, and the notice references an additional information link pointing to program guidance.
