Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 9 is a Federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It is designed to help states strengthen and sustain emergency management capabilities that support preparedness for all hazards, not just a single type of threat or disaster. The program’s core intent is to reinforce a nationwide system where the Federal Government, states, and their political subdivisions share responsibility for emergency preparedness in a coordinated way, with FEMA providing direction, coordination, guidance, and authorized assistance to help ensure a comprehensive preparedness system exists across the country.
Legally, 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 issue grants aimed at protecting life and property from hazards in the United States. The framing of the opportunity emphasizes an all-hazards approach, meaning the funding supports preparedness activities relevant to a wide range of scenarios such as natural disasters, technological incidents, and other emergencies. In practice, EMPG funding is typically used by states to support emergency management programs that then cascade benefits to local and tribal partners, helping maintain planning, training, exercises, coordination, and other core elements of readiness.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument type. The funding activity category is listed as “Other,†clarified as Homeland Security and Preparedness, reflecting its role in bolstering preparedness systems rather than funding a narrow program area. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the program is 97.042, titled “Emergency Management Performance Grants,†which is the standard federal listing used to identify and track this assistance program across government systems.
For FY 2012, the opportunity projected an estimated total funding amount of $339,500,000 and anticipated making about 58 awards. The posting date and creation date were both February 17, 2012. The original closing date was May 5, 2012, with a current closing date listed as May 4, 2012, and an archive date of June 3, 2012. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as 0 in the source data, which generally indicates that the public listing does not specify per-award minimums or maximums and that award sizes may vary based on allocations, eligibility, and program guidance rather than a fixed published range.
Eligibility for applicants is limited to state governments. While the purpose statement notes assisting state, local, and tribal governments, the eligible applicant type indicates that states are the direct recipients, and they commonly manage distribution, pass-through, or support arrangements consistent with program rules and state emergency management structures. The listing also notes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute a portion of the total project cost from non-federal sources in accordance with the program’s conditions.
The official funding opportunity number for this announcement is DHS 12 GPD 042 009 01, and the title is “Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 9.†Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov. For technical issues accessing the announcement electronically, FEMA provided a contact point through the GMD Systems Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
