Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 9 is a mandatory federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. Its core purpose is to provide funding and support that helps governments build and sustain emergency management capabilities for all hazards, meaning it is not limited to terrorism or any single type of disaster, but is intended to strengthen preparedness for natural hazards, technological incidents, and other emergencies that can threaten life, property, and community stability.
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 make grants that support a nationwide system of emergency preparedness. In practical terms, the Stafford Act framework emphasizes that emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility across federal, state, and local levels of government. Under EMPG, the federal government provides direction, coordination, and guidance, along with financial assistance, to help ensure a comprehensive preparedness system exists across the country. The summary intent of this opportunity is to strengthen the overall emergency management enterprise so that jurisdictions are better positioned to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from a broad range of hazards.
This opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 042 009 01 and is listed as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) under a homeland security and preparedness activity category. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). FEMA anticipated making 58 awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $329,140,400. The posting date and creation date were both May 19, 2011. The application closing date was June 20, 2011 (original and current closing dates are the same), and the opportunity was archived on July 20, 2011.
Eligibility for this specific listing is limited to state governments, meaning states are the direct applicants and recipients for purposes of applying to FEMA. Although the description notes that the program assists state, local, and tribal governments, the state is typically the primary applicant that receives the award and then manages eligible activities, coordination, and any allowable pass-through or support consistent with program guidance and applicable requirements. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were expected to contribute a non-federal share consistent with EMPG rules and the governing guidance.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed access support for the full announcement, FEMA provided a point of contact through its Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, and referenced an additional program guidance link for detailed requirements, allowable uses of funds, and administrative expectations.
