Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 5 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen statewide emergency management capability for all hazards. The central goal is to provide financial assistance to states so they can support and improve emergency preparedness efforts that protect life and property. EMPG is grounded 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 across federal, state, local, and tribal levels of government. In practice, the program funds activities that help build and sustain a comprehensive emergency preparedness system, with FEMA providing national-level direction, coordination, guidance, and support so that preparedness efforts are consistent and effective across jurisdictions.
This opportunity was posted on February 17, 2012, with an original closing date of May 5, 2012, and a current closing date listed as May 4, 2012. The program was later archived on June 3, 2012. It is categorized as a discretionary grant and falls under a homeland security preparedness funding activity area. The CFDA number associated with this program is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants), which is the standard federal identifier used to track EMPG funding and related compliance requirements.
Funding under this announcement was substantial at the national level, with an estimated total program funding amount of $339,500,000. The listing shows an expected 58 awards, indicating that funding would be distributed broadly across eligible recipients rather than concentrated in a small number of large grants. The published award floor and ceiling are both listed as 0, which typically signals that award sizes vary based on allocation formulas, eligibility, and program guidance rather than a single fixed minimum or maximum amount stated in the synopsis.
Eligibility for this specific announcement is limited to state governments. While the program purpose explicitly includes helping states assist local and tribal governments, the direct applicants under this opportunity are states, which generally means the designated State Administrative Agency or comparable statewide emergency management authority applies and then administers or passes through resources consistent with federal and state rules. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute a non-federal share toward supported activities in accordance with EMPG requirements and the terms laid out in the full notice.
For applicants or stakeholders who need the official announcement details, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DHS-12-GPD-042-005-01, titled "Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 5." The primary reference point for more information is Grants.gov, and assistance for those who cannot access the announcement electronically is provided through FEMA's GMD Systems Branch via the email address GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
