Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 6 is a mandatory federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to strengthen all-hazards emergency management capabilities. 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 provide grants that help build and sustain a nationwide system of emergency preparedness aimed at protecting life and property. In practical terms, EMPG funding is intended to help governments maintain a comprehensive emergency preparedness and emergency management system that can address the full range of threats and hazards, rather than focusing on a single scenario or type of disaster.
This opportunity is identified under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 042 006 01 and is listed as a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) within a homeland security and preparedness context (CategoryExplanation: Homeland Security - Preparedness). The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). FEMA describes the federal role in this program as providing direction, coordination, and guidance, along with authorized assistance, so that emergency preparedness responsibilities are shared between the federal government and the states and their political subdivisions. While the summary emphasizes the federal-state partnership, the program description also notes that the resources ultimately support state, local, and tribal governments in preparing for all hazards.
Eligibility for this specific posting is limited to state governments, reflecting the common EMPG structure where states serve as the primary applicants and then manage implementation and, where applicable, distribution or support for local and tribal partners consistent with program rules. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project or program costs as a condition of receiving federal funds.
For FY 2011 Region 6, FEMA anticipated making 58 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $329,140,400. The grant 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 opportunity was slated to be formally archived in the posting system.
Applicants or stakeholders needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to FEMA support contacts, specifically the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov, and an additional information link was referenced for program guidance. Overall, the core purpose of this funding opportunity is to sustain and improve emergency management readiness through a structured federal funding mechanism that reinforces a coordinated, all-hazards preparedness framework across government levels.
