Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program for Region 6 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen emergency management and preparedness by funding improvements to primary Emergency Operations Centers. The program is focused on making EOCs more capable and reliable during incidents by supporting facilities that are flexible in how they can be used, sustainable over time, secure against threats, strategically located to remain functional when disasters occur, and fully interoperable so they can communicate and coordinate smoothly with partner agencies. A key emphasis is that projects should address documented deficiencies and demonstrated needs, rather than paying for upgrades that are not tied to clear gaps in capability.
Legally, the program is authorized under Section 614 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 6196c). The funding for this cycle is described as being appropriated under 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 the funds are intended specifically for construction or renovation projects for a State, local, or Tribal government primary EOC. The announcement also makes an important boundary clear: this grant is not meant to support the construction or renovation of State, local, or Tribal Fusion Centers, so proposals centered on fusion center facilities would fall outside the program purpose.
This is a discretionary grant (not a formula entitlement) with the funding instrument identified as a grant. The activity category is labeled as “Other,” with the clarification that it fits under Homeland Security and preparedness-related activities. The listing is associated with CFDA number 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center). A cost share or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients should expect to contribute non-federal funds or allowable in-kind resources according to the program rules and guidance.
Eligibility for this particular opportunity is limited to state governments, indicating that states are the direct applicants for Region 6 funding under this notice. While the funding ultimately supports state, local, or tribal primary EOCs, the eligible applicant category suggests that the state is responsible for submitting the application and administering the award consistent with FEMA requirements and any pass-through or subaward arrangements allowed by the program.
Key administrative dates in the notice show it was posted and created on May 19, 2011, with an application closing date of June 20, 2011, and an archive date of July 20, 2011. The official funding opportunity number is DHS-11-GPD-052-006-01, and the opportunity title is “Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program Region 6.” For applicants who cannot access the full announcement online or who have technical issues, FEMA provided a contact point through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, and the notice references an additional information link for program guidance.
