Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 10 is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant opportunity designed to strengthen nationwide emergency management capability by funding state-level preparedness efforts that support state, local, and Tribal governments. The central aim is all-hazards preparedness, meaning the program is intended to improve readiness for a wide range of threats and incidents, including natural disasters, technological accidents, and human-caused events. The legal foundation for the program comes from the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), specifically Title VI, which emphasizes building and sustaining a comprehensive emergency preparedness system to protect life and property across the United States. In practice, EMPG reflects a shared-responsibility model in which the federal government provides leadership, coordination, guidance, and assistance, while states and their political subdivisions carry out core preparedness and emergency management functions.
This particular listing is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 GPD 042 010 01 and is categorized as a discretionary grant within the broader Homeland Security and Preparedness funding activity area. The associated CFDA number is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). FEMA anticipated making approximately 58 awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $339,500,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as 0, which typically indicates that specific per-award minimums or maximums were not fixed in the public summary and may have been determined through allocation formulas, program guidance, or other internal distribution rules tied to eligible jurisdictions.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to state governments. While the program purpose explicitly references assisting state, local, and Tribal governments, the direct applicants under this posting are states, which commonly then pass resources through or support local and Tribal partners as permitted by program rules and state-level administrative structures. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal grant funding, consistent with EMPG program requirements and Stafford Act authorities.
The opportunity was posted on February 17, 2012, with the original closing date of May 5, 2012, later updated to a current closing date of May 4, 2012. The archive date is June 3, 2012, indicating when the listing was formally archived on the grants portal. Applicants and interested parties were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement details and application materials, and the contact provided for technical difficulties accessing the announcement is the FEMA GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
