Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 3 is a mandatory federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to strengthen emergency management capabilities across 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 authorizes FEMA to support a nationwide system of emergency preparedness aimed at protecting life and property. In practical terms, the grant is designed to help governments build and sustain a comprehensive emergency management system that can prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from a wide range of threats and disasters, rather than focusing on a single hazard type.
A central idea behind EMPG is shared responsibility. Title VI of the Stafford Act places emergency preparedness jointly in the hands of the federal government and the states (and their political subdivisions), meaning FEMA provides direction, coordination, guidance, and financial assistance while states lead implementation and work with local and tribal partners. The grant resources are intended to support the planning, organization, equipment, training, exercises, and overall management activities that make emergency management programs function effectively. While the announcement emphasizes state eligibility, the program purpose explicitly includes assisting state, local, and tribal governments, reflecting the expectation that states will pass through support or otherwise enable preparedness improvements across jurisdictions and partner agencies.
For FY 2011, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 042 003 01 and is tied to CFDA 97.042, Emergency Management Performance Grants. The funding activity is categorized under Homeland Security preparedness (listed as "Other" with a clarification indicating preparedness). The estimated total funding amount for the broader opportunity is $329,140,400, with an expected 58 awards. Eligible applicants are state governments, and the funding instrument is a grant. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources alongside the federal award consistent with EMPG rules.
Key dates for this opportunity include a posted and created date of May 19, 2011, with an original and current application closing date of June 20, 2011. The archive date is July 20, 2011, indicating when the opportunity was slated to be removed from active listing after the application window closed. Applicants needing the full announcement or experiencing access issues were directed to FEMA support through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov, and the notice also references an additional information link for program guidance, which would typically contain detailed eligibility clarifications, allowable costs, performance requirements, reporting expectations, and match documentation standards.
