Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program Region 9 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2011 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program for Region 9 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to strengthen emergency management and overall preparedness. The program is designed to help governments improve their ability to manage incidents by supporting Emergency Operations Centers that are flexible in how they can be used, sustainable over time, secure against threats and hazards, strategically located to remain functional and accessible during emergencies, and fully interoperable so they can communicate and coordinate effectively across agencies and jurisdictions. The emphasis is on fixing known gaps by targeting projects that address documented deficiencies and clearly identified needs in existing EOC capabilities.

Legally, the grant program is authorized under Section 614 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 6196c), which provides the basis for federal support to enhance EOC infrastructure and capability. The 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). While the notice references appropriations language connected to FY 2010 funding, the opportunity itself is labeled and posted as the FY 2011 EOC Grant Program for Region 9.

A total estimated amount of $14,101,740 is available under this opportunity, intended specifically for construction or renovation projects for a primary EOC operated by state, local, or tribal governments. In practical terms, the funding is meant to support major facility improvements or build-outs that enable an EOC to function reliably during disasters and large-scale incidents, including the infrastructure and facility features needed to support coordinated response operations. At the same time, the announcement makes an explicit boundary: these funds are not meant for constructing or renovating state, local, or tribal fusion centers, signaling that the program is focused on emergency management coordination facilities rather than intelligence or information-fusion infrastructure.

Eligibility under this particular posting is limited to state governments, meaning states are the direct applicants and recipients for this Region 9 opportunity. The grant is listed under CFDA 97.052 (Emergency Operations Center), and it falls within the broad activity area of Homeland Security preparedness. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should expect that federal funds will need to be paired with a required non-federal contribution consistent with program guidance and FEMA grant rules.

Key dates for the opportunity are as follows: it was posted and created on May 19, 2011, with an application closing date of June 20, 2011. The listing shows an archive date of July 20, 2011, indicating when the opportunity was moved into an archived status after the application window closed. The funding opportunity number is DHS-11-GPD-052-009-01, and the instrument type is a grant.

For applicants or stakeholders who cannot access the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a point of contact through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, and the announcement references an additional information link for program guidance, which would typically include detailed eligibility conditions, allowable costs, match requirements, application components, and evaluation criteria.
