Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 10 is a mandatory grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is designed to strengthen emergency management capabilities by providing financial resources that help governments prepare for, protect against, respond to, and recover from a wide range of hazards. The program is rooted in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), specifically Title VI, which authorizes FEMA to issue grants that support a nationwide system of emergency preparedness focused on protecting life and property. In practical terms, the program reflects the idea that emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility: FEMA provides national-level direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance, while states and their political subdivisions build and maintain the operational readiness needed to manage emergencies of all types.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 042 010 01) falls under the Homeland Security and Preparedness funding activity area and uses a standard grant instrument. The eligible applicants listed for this announcement are state governments, meaning applications are routed through state-level entities that can then support or pass through resources to local and tribal partners consistent with program rules and statewide emergency management priorities. The opportunity anticipates 58 awards, indicating broad distribution across eligible jurisdictions under the program structure for that fiscal year.
Funding for the FY 2011 EMPG program is substantial, with an estimated total funding level of $329,140,400. The program also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources alongside federal funds. The specific match percentage and what qualifies as match are typically detailed in the formal program guidance referenced in the announcement, but the key point is that EMPG is structured to promote shared investment in emergency management capacity rather than relying solely on federal dollars.
The posting and application timeline for this specific announcement is also clear. It was posted and created on May 19, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 20, 2011. The archive date is July 20, 2011, which signals when the opportunity would be formally closed out in the listing system for public access as an active competition. The CFDA number associated with this program is 97.042, which corresponds to Emergency Management Performance Grants and is commonly used for tracking, reporting, and grants management purposes.
For applicants or stakeholders who could not access the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a technical contact pathway through the Systems and Business Support Branch (GMD Systems) at FEMA via the email address SystemsBranch@fema.gov. This contact is geared toward access and systems support for the announcement materials, while the detailed program rules, allowable activities, and performance requirements would typically be contained in the official EMPG program guidance linked in the opportunity.
