Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program for Region 8 is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. Its main purpose is to strengthen emergency management and overall preparedness by helping governments build or renovate primary Emergency Operations Centers. The program is designed around the idea that an effective EOC should be flexible enough to support a wide range of incidents, sustainable and secure enough to function during disasters, strategically located to remain accessible and operational, and fully interoperable so it can communicate and coordinate smoothly with partner agencies and jurisdictions. A major emphasis is placed on fixing clearly identified gaps, deficiencies, and operational needs rather than funding upgrades that are merely nice-to-have.
Legally, the program is authorized under Section 614 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5196c). The funding referenced in the notice is appropriated under the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Public Law 112-10). For this round, the total estimated funding available is $14,101,740, and the money is intended specifically for the construction or renovation of a State, local, or Tribal government primary EOC. In practical terms, that means the funds support core facilities where incident coordination, information sharing, resource management, and multi-agency decision-making occur during emergencies.
A key boundary in the announcement is that this grant is not meant to pay for the construction or renovation of fusion centers. Even though fusion centers can be closely connected to emergency coordination and situational awareness, this program draws a clear line: its dollars are aimed at primary EOC infrastructure rather than intelligence or fusion center facilities.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to state governments, reflecting that the program is structured for statewide administration and coordination even when project benefits flow to local or tribal primary EOC capabilities. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center), within a homeland security and preparedness funding category. It also carries a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are expected to contribute a portion of the project costs from non-federal sources according to the program rules.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is DHS-11-GPD-052-008-01, and it was posted on May 19, 2011. The application closing date was June 20, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on July 20, 2011. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a contact point through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov for help obtaining or viewing the full materials and guidance.
