Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program Region 7 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program for Region 7 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 preparedness by helping governments build or improve Emergency Operations Centers that can effectively coordinate response and recovery operations during disasters and major incidents. The program emphasizes EOCs that are flexible and sustainable over time, physically secure, strategically located to support operations, and fully interoperable so they can communicate and coordinate smoothly with partner agencies and jurisdictions. A key theme of the program is fixing clearly identified capability gaps, meaning applicants are expected to show how the proposed construction or renovation project directly addresses documented deficiencies and operational needs.

This program is authorized under Section 614 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5196c), which provides the legal basis for federal support to enhance EOC capabilities. The funding for this cycle is tied to appropriations made 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 assistance is provided in the form of grants. The program is listed under CFDA number 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center), and it is categorized within Homeland Security and Preparedness activities.

Grant funds are intended specifically for the construction or renovation of a primary EOC for a state, local, or Tribal government. In practical terms, this can include building a new EOC facility or upgrading an existing one to better support emergency coordination functions, such as improving layout and survivability, enhancing communications and information-sharing infrastructure to ensure interoperability, and making upgrades that improve continuity of operations during crises. At the same time, FEMA is clear about what this program is not for: it is not intended to pay for the construction or renovation of state, local, or Tribal Fusion Centers. Applicants therefore need to ensure the facility and scope are tied to EOC mission requirements rather than intelligence or fusion center development.

Eligibility for this specific opportunity is limited to state governments, reflecting the way FEMA often routes certain preparedness funds through states as primary recipients (with local or Tribal needs typically coordinated through state-level administration, depending on program structure and state processes). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan for a non-federal contribution and be ready to document how that match will be met. The opportunity was posted on May 19, 2011, with an application closing date of June 20, 2011, and it was archived on July 20, 2011. The Funding Opportunity Number is DHS-11-GPD-052-007-01, and the opportunity title is "Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program Region 7."

For applicants or stakeholders needing the official program guidance or experiencing difficulty accessing the full announcement, FEMA provided a point of contact through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, along with an additional information link labeled as program guidance in the original posting.
