Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 4 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 4 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 042 004 01) is a mandatory FEMA grant program under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen nationwide emergency management capabilities. The program focuses on helping governments build and sustain a comprehensive, all-hazards emergency preparedness system, meaning it is intended to support readiness for the full range of threats and disasters rather than a single scenario type. The legal foundation for the program is the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), specifically Title VI, which authorizes FEMA to provide grants that protect life and property and to share responsibility for emergency preparedness between the federal government and states and their political subdivisions. In practical terms, FEMA uses EMPG to provide direction, coordination, guidance, and financial assistance so that emergency management programs across the country can operate as a coherent system.

This opportunity is categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the broader funding activity area of homeland security preparedness (Category Explanation: Homeland Security Preparedness). The CFDA listing associated with the program is 97.042, titled Emergency Management Performance Grants, which is the standard federal assistance identifier used for tracking and reporting. The estimated total funding amount for this FY 2011 opportunity is $329,140,400, and FEMA anticipated making 58 awards under this announcement. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project or program costs as part of participating in the grant.

Eligibility for this specific posting is limited to state governments, indicating that states are the direct applicants and recipients for Region 4 under this announcement, with the broader program purpose emphasizing support that ultimately benefits state, local, and tribal preparedness. While local and tribal governments are referenced in the program description as beneficiaries of the preparedness system, the eligible applicant field makes clear that the application and award process for this opportunity runs through state government entities rather than directly to local or tribal applicants.

Key dates for the opportunity show 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 indicates when the opportunity information was set to be moved into archived status after the application window closed. The awarding agency is FEMA within DHS, and the opportunity category is listed as mandatory, reflecting that the funding is part of an established grant program structure rather than a purely discretionary initiative.

For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a point of contact through the Systems and Business Support Branch, with inquiries directed to GMD Systems at the email address SystemsBranch@fema.gov. This contact is specifically intended to support access to the announcement and related materials, which typically include detailed program guidance, allowable costs, application requirements, and reporting expectations.
