Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 8 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed 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 provide grants that help build and maintain a nationwide system of emergency preparedness aimed at protecting life and property. The core idea behind EMPG is shared responsibility: emergency preparedness is jointly held by the federal government and state governments (and, through them, their political subdivisions). FEMA provides direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance so that state and local emergency management programs can operate as part of a comprehensive, all-hazards preparedness system.
This particular opportunity was issued as a mandatory grant, reflecting that it is part of an established federal assistance program rather than a one-off discretionary competition. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is described broadly as homeland security preparedness. The program is listed under CFDA 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants), which is the catalog identifier used to track federal assistance programs. The estimated total funding level for this FY 2011 announcement is $329,140,400, with an expected 58 awards overall, indicating distribution across eligible jurisdictions rather than a small number of large recipients.
Eligibility for this solicitation is limited to state governments. While the program purpose explicitly includes supporting state, local, and tribal governments, the announcement indicates that states are the direct applicants and primary recipients, typically managing the pass-through of resources, coordination, and support to local and tribal partners consistent with program guidance and state administrative processes. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients must provide a non-federal contribution toward supported activities, a common feature of preparedness grants intended to reinforce shared investment and sustainment of core emergency management functions.
The timeline for the opportunity shows 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 generally indicates when the opportunity was formally closed out in the posting system for reference and recordkeeping. The funding opportunity number is DHS-11-GPD-042-008-01, and the title is Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 8, tying it to the FEMA Grants Programs Directorate structure and the Region 8 administrative area.
For applicants or stakeholders who could not access the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a direct support contact through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov. Additional details, including specific allowable costs, performance requirements, reporting, and match calculations, were referenced as being available in the program guidance linked in the announcement.
