Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 8 is a FEMA-administered grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen all-hazards emergency management capabilities at the state level, with benefits that flow down to local and Tribal partners. 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 frames emergency preparedness as a shared responsibility across the federal government, states, and their political subdivisions. In practical terms, the EMPG program is meant to help ensure there is a comprehensive, nationwide emergency preparedness system focused on protecting life and property from a broad range of hazards, rather than being limited to a single threat type.
This funding opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a standard grant instrument. FEMA describes the activity area as homeland security and preparedness, reflecting the program's role in supporting core emergency management functions such as planning, coordination, training, exercises, and overall readiness efforts that states use to build and maintain operational capability across prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery mission areas. While the summary language does not list specific allowable cost line items, the stated purpose and statutory basis emphasize capability-building and the maintenance of an effective emergency preparedness framework that can function across multiple hazards and jurisdictions.
Eligibility for the FY 2012 Region 8 EMPG opportunity is limited to state governments. The opportunity indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute a non-federal share consistent with program rules (the notice confirms the requirement exists, even though it does not specify the percentage in the excerpt provided). FEMA anticipated making 58 awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding amount for the overall opportunity is $339,500,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which typically signals that individual award amounts are determined by formula, allocation, or other program-specific methodology rather than a fixed minimum or maximum stated in the public synopsis.
Key identifiers include Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 GPD 042 008 01 and CFDA number 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The announcement was posted on February 17, 2012, with an original closing date of May 5, 2012, later adjusted to a current closing date of May 4, 2012. The archive date is June 3, 2012, indicating the opportunity is historical rather than currently open. Applicants and interested parties were directed to Grants.gov for full details, and technical or access issues related to the full electronic announcement were routed to FEMA's GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
