Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 1 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen statewide emergency management capabilities for "all hazards" preparedness. In practical terms, the program is meant to help states support and sustain the emergency management systems that protect lives and property before, during, and after disasters and emergencies. The grant is rooted in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), specifically Title VI, which frames emergency preparedness as a shared responsibility among the federal government, states, and their political subdivisions. FEMA uses EMPG to provide not only funding, but also national-level direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance so that a comprehensive preparedness system exists across the country.
This particular opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses a grant funding instrument. The overall activity focus is categorized under "Homeland Security - Preparedness," reflecting its purpose of building and maintaining core emergency management functions rather than funding a single narrow project. While the listing is labeled for Region 1, the eligible applicants are state governments, meaning the primary recipients are state-level agencies that then support preparedness efforts that benefit local and tribal partners. The program explicitly emphasizes assistance to state, local, and tribal governments, reinforcing the idea that preparedness is operationally carried out at multiple levels even when the state is the formal applicant.
The opportunity was posted on February 17, 2012, with an original closing date of May 5, 2012, later reflected as a current closing date of May 4, 2012, and an archive date of June 3, 2012. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the program is 97.042, titled Emergency Management Performance Grants. FEMA anticipated 58 awards under this funding announcement. The estimated total funding amount available across the program is listed as $339,500,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both shown as 0 in the listing, which typically indicates that specific per-award minimums and maximums were not stated in the summary fields and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement materials.
A key requirement noted in the listing is cost sharing or matching, meaning recipients are expected to contribute a non-federal share toward supported activities, consistent with how EMPG is commonly structured to ensure joint investment in preparedness outcomes. The intent behind this model is to promote sustained capability development rather than one-time purchases or short-term efforts, aligning with the Stafford Act goal of establishing a durable, nationwide emergency preparedness system covering a broad range of threats and hazards.
For access to the full announcement and application details, the opportunity points applicants to Grants.gov (linked in the listing). For technical issues accessing the announcement electronically, FEMA provided a contact point through the Grants Management Directorate (GMD) Systems Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov. The official identifier for the funding opportunity is DHS-12-GPD-042-001-01, and the title is Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 1.
