Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 2 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen emergency management capability at the state level, with the broader intent of supporting state, local, and tribal preparedness for all hazards. The program is grounded in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), specifically Title VI, which lays out the federal role in helping build and maintain a nationwide system of emergency preparedness to protect life and property. In practical terms, EMPG funding is meant to help ensure a comprehensive, all-hazards emergency management system is in place, with shared responsibility between the federal government and states (and their political subdivisions), and with FEMA providing direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance to support that system.
This opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 042 002 01 and is categorized as a mandatory grant within the homeland security and preparedness funding area. The associated CFDA number is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants), which is the federal assistance listing commonly used for tracking and reporting. FEMA anticipated making 58 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $329,140,400. The funding instrument is a grant, and applicants should expect cost sharing or matching to be required, meaning recipients must contribute a portion of the total project cost from non-federal sources in accordance with program rules.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the program structure in which states typically serve as the primary recipients and administrators of EMPG funds, often passing support through to local and tribal partners or using resources to enhance statewide emergency management functions. While the summary does not list specific allowable activities, the stated purpose indicates the funding is aimed at preparedness and performance across the full range of hazards, consistent with EMPG's role in supporting emergency management programs, coordination, and readiness capabilities rather than focusing on a single threat type.
Key dates for the competition are provided: the opportunity 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, indicating when the listing was scheduled to be removed from active posting.
