Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 1 was a mandatory FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security intended to strengthen day-to-day emergency management capability across all hazards. Rooted in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), the program reflects the federal-state shared responsibility model for emergency preparedness described in Title VI of the Stafford Act. In practical terms, FEMA used EMPG to provide funding, direction, coordination, and technical guidance so states and their political subdivisions could maintain and improve a comprehensive emergency preparedness system designed to protect lives and property from a wide range of threats and disasters.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 042 001 01; CFDA 97.042) supported homeland security and preparedness activities, categorized under "Other" with the clarification that the focus is preparedness. The program’s purpose was broad rather than incident-specific, emphasizing readiness for "all hazards" such as natural disasters, technological incidents, and other emergencies that require coordinated government response. EMPG is traditionally used to sustain core emergency management functions, including planning, training, exercises, operational coordination, and related program management that helps jurisdictions prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from emergencies.
Eligibility for this specific posting was limited to state governments, reflecting the way EMPG is commonly administered: FEMA awards funds to states, and states may then direct resources in support of local and tribal emergency management activities consistent with program guidance and statewide priorities. The listing anticipated 58 awards and an estimated total funding amount of $329,140,400, indicating a large nationwide investment in baseline emergency management capacity for the fiscal year, with Region 1 covered under the broader national program structure.
The opportunity required cost sharing or matching, meaning recipients needed to contribute a non-federal share toward supported activities, consistent with EMPG’s longstanding emphasis on shared investment in emergency management capability. The notice was posted and created on May 19, 2011, with an application deadline of June 20, 2011, and an archive date of July 20, 2011, marking the end of the active public posting period for that fiscal year’s competition/award cycle.
For applicants or stakeholders who could not access the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a support contact through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov. This contact was specifically for assistance with accessing the full announcement and related administrative materials rather than for programmatic guidance.
