Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 3 is a federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It is a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen emergency management capabilities by providing funding to states so they can support and improve preparedness activities that apply to all types of hazards. The overarching intent is to help build and maintain a comprehensive, nationwide emergency preparedness system that protects life and property, with responsibilities shared across federal, state, local, and tribal levels of government.
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 preparedness grants. Under this authority, the federal role is to provide direction, coordination, and guidance, along with financial assistance, so that emergency preparedness efforts are organized, consistent, and effective across jurisdictions. The EMPG program emphasizes an all-hazards approach, meaning the supported activities are intended to apply broadly to threats and incidents such as natural disasters, technological accidents, and human-caused events, rather than focusing on only one scenario type.
For FY 2012 Region 3, the opportunity is identified on Grants.gov as Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 GPD 042 003 01, titled "Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 3." The assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The funding activity category is listed under Homeland Security preparedness, and the award mechanism is a grant. While the notice is specific to Region 3 as a program region, eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting that FEMA awards EMPG funds to states, which then typically manage and allocate resources to support state-level priorities and assist local and tribal partners consistent with program guidance and state administrative processes.
The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute a portion of project costs using non-federal resources in accordance with program rules. The announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $339,500,000 across the program, with expected awards listed as 58. The award ceiling and floor are shown as zero in the source fields, which generally signals that the specific per-award amounts can vary and are determined through allocation formulas or program guidance rather than being capped or bounded in the posting itself.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on February 17, 2012. The original closing date was May 5, 2012, and the current closing date was updated to May 4, 2012. The archive date is June 3, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer open and the posting has been archived.
