Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 4 is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designed to strengthen emergency management capabilities at the state level and, through those states, support local and Tribal governments. The central goal of EMPG is all-hazards preparedness, meaning it is meant to help governments plan for, coordinate around, and improve readiness for the full range of threats and disasters, including natural disasters, technological incidents, and human-caused events. 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 establishes that emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility across the Federal Government, states, and their political subdivisions. In practical terms, FEMA uses EMPG to provide direction, coordination, guidance, and financial assistance so that a comprehensive national emergency preparedness system exists and is maintained.
This opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The funding activity category is tied to homeland security preparedness. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with this program is 97.042, which corresponds to Emergency Management Performance Grants. The estimated total funding amount for the overall FY 2012 EMPG program is listed as $339,500,000, and the opportunity anticipates 58 awards. The listing notes an award ceiling of $0 and an award floor of $0, which typically indicates that specific award sizes are not expressed in the summary fields and may vary based on allocation formulas, eligibility, and program guidance rather than a single fixed minimum or maximum published in the notice summary.
Eligibility for this particular posting is limited to state governments. While the narrative emphasizes support for state, local, and Tribal preparedness, the eligible applicant entity shown in the opportunity data is the state, which generally serves as the primary recipient and may pass through funding, resources, or program support to local and Tribal partners consistent with program rules and FEMA guidance. Because the program is structured around shared preparedness responsibilities, the expectation is that EMPG funds help build and sustain core emergency management functions and systems that benefit the broader emergency management enterprise within the state, including coordination mechanisms that integrate local jurisdictions and Tribal governments.
The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute a non-federal share toward the overall cost of supported activities, in line with the EMPG program’s statutory and policy framework. The announcement was posted on February 17, 2012, with the original closing date of May 5, 2012, and a current closing date of May 4, 2012. The archive date is June 3, 2012, indicating when it was formally moved into an archived status on the listing platform.
For official details and full application materials, the opportunity points applicants to Grants.gov and provides an additional information link at http://www.grants.gov. For technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is FEMA’s GMD Systems Branch via email at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
