Opportunity Summary:
Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 7 is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The program is designed to strengthen nationwide emergency preparedness by providing grant funding to states so they can support and improve the capabilities of state, local, and Tribal governments in planning for, responding to, and recovering from all hazards. The legal basis 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 establishes a shared responsibility for emergency preparedness among the federal government, states, and their political subdivisions. Under this framework, FEMA uses EMPG to offer direction, coordination, guidance, and financial assistance with the broader goal of ensuring a comprehensive, all-hazards emergency preparedness system that protects life and property.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 GPD 042 007 01 and is associated with CFDA number 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The funding activity is categorized under Homeland Security preparedness. While the listing is specific to Region 7, the program purpose remains consistent: helping states maintain and build core emergency management functions that underpin preparedness across threats and disasters, whether natural, technological, or human-caused.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, meaning states are the direct applicants and recipients of the federal award. In practice, states typically use EMPG funding to support statewide emergency management programs and to pass through support, training, planning resources, and capability development to local and Tribal partners as part of their overall emergency management system. The grant requires cost sharing or matching, indicating recipients must contribute non-federal funds or in-kind resources consistent with the program rules, reinforcing the Stafford Act principle of shared responsibility rather than a fully federally funded approach.
For FY 2012, the opportunity estimated a total of $339,500,000 in funding, with an expected 58 awards. The published award ceiling and floor were both listed as 0, which generally signals that individual award amounts vary by formula, allocation method, or other program determinations rather than a fixed minimum or maximum stated in the summary. The opportunity was posted and created on February 17, 2012. The original closing date was May 5, 2012, and it was updated to a current closing date of May 4, 2012, with an archive date of June 3, 2012. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov.
For application or access issues related to the full announcement materials, FEMA provided a contact point through the GMD Systems Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
