Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Cooperative Agreement was a FEMA discretionary funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security focused on strengthening how states manage mutual aid during disasters and other all-hazards incidents. The core aim was to advance NIMS implementation by building and rolling out consistent, standardized systems and procedures for how resources are requested, dispatched, used, tracked, and returned across all states when local or in-state capabilities need to be supplemented through interstate assistance.
At a practical level, the program centered on improving the operational backbone of EMAC, the nationwide mutual-aid agreement that allows a disaster-impacted state to quickly obtain personnel, equipment, teams, or other capabilities from other member states. By emphasizing consistent systems for mobilization and demobilization, the cooperative agreement sought to make interstate support faster, more predictable, and easier to manage during real incidents. A key value of EMAC highlighted in the announcement is that it addresses two major friction points in mutual aid in advance: liability and reimbursement. By resolving those issues up front through an established compact and common processes, states can focus on mission needs during response rather than negotiating terms in the middle of a crisis.
FEMA also framed the benefit in terms of reducing the need for federal intervention funded by disaster dollars. The intent was that stronger state-to-state mutual aid capacity would enable states to meet urgent needs through EMAC more effectively, potentially lowering reliance on FEMA to task federal departments and agencies to provide assistance. In other words, the cooperative agreement supported investments that make state mutual aid more capable and interoperable, which can translate into more timely assistance to incident-affected jurisdictions and a more efficient overall national response posture.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), reflecting that FEMA expected active involvement or partnership in achieving the program outcomes. The funding activity category was Disaster Prevention and Relief, and the associated CFDA listing was 97.107 (National Incident Management System). The total estimated funding amount was $2,012,000, with an award ceiling of $2,012,000 and an award floor of $0, and FEMA anticipated making a single award. Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources according to the specific terms of the award.
Eligibility was limited and tied to EMAC/NEMA, with the eligible applicant identified as the National Emergency Management Association. The opportunity was posted and created on August 29, 2012, with an original and current application closing date of September 12, 2012, and it was archived on October 12, 2012. Additional information and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov, and applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to FEMA’s GMD Systems Branch via the email address provided (GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov).
