Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Baseline Assessment Grant (EMBAG) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to fund a baseline assessment of how well state governments coordinate across agencies on core emergency management responsibilities and continuity of government. The central purpose of the program was to identify gaps and shortfalls in interagency cooperation, based on the federal finding that states do not always consistently include all relevant state agencies in prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery planning, nor in continuity of government efforts. In practical terms, the grant focused on diagnosing coordination weaknesses that could affect how effectively a state prevents incidents, protects critical functions, mitigates impacts, responds to emergencies, recovers afterward, and maintains essential government operations during disruptions.
This opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 NPD 131 000 01, with the title "Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Baseline Assessment Grant (EMBAG)." The activity category was listed as Information and Statistics, signaling that the funded work was primarily analytical and assessment-oriented rather than operational response funding. FEMA anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), which suggests a competitive selection intended to support one lead organization to carry out the assessment work described in the announcement.
The estimated total available funding was $600,000. The posting date was September 18, 2012, with a creation date of September 19, 2012. The application window was extremely short: the original and current closing date was September 20, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on October 20, 2012. The listing shows award ceiling and award floor as $0, which typically indicates the notice did not specify a per-award minimum or maximum in the summary fields, even though an overall funding amount was stated.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The CFDA number associated with the program was 97.131, labeled "Emergency Management Baseline Assessments Grant (EMBAG)."
