Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 1 opportunity is a discretionary grant program run by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), designed to strengthen nationwide emergency management capabilities for all types of hazards. 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 support a national system of emergency preparedness that protects life and property. A central idea behind the program is shared responsibility: emergency preparedness is treated as a joint mission of the federal government, states, and their political subdivisions, with FEMA providing direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance so that robust preparedness exists at every level.
In practical terms, the FY 2013 EMPG program is intended to help states support and improve the readiness of state, local, territorial, and tribal governments. It emphasizes an "all-hazards" approach, meaning the funds are meant to support preparedness activities relevant to a wide range of threats and incidents rather than a single scenario. The opportunity also explicitly ties EMPG to the National Preparedness System (NPS) and the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), framing the grant as one way FEMA helps communities build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities that contribute to a secure and resilient nation. It highlights the "whole community" concept, stressing that no single agency or level of government can deliver preparedness alone, and that effective capabilities come from combined efforts across government and community partners.
The FY 2013 EMPG funds are positioned to support core capabilities across the five mission areas: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. While the announcement language does not list individual projects, it makes clear that activities must align with allowable costs and should contribute to building or sustaining capabilities within those mission areas. The category explanation included in the listing identifies this opportunity as part of "Homeland Security Preparedness Grants," reflecting the broader preparedness framework FEMA uses to organize and prioritize grant investments.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number DHS-13-GPD-042-001-01 and the CFDA number 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The eligible applicants are state governments, and the listing anticipates 58 awards. The notice indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources as part of the grant-supported effort. The posting date is May 21, 2013, with a closing date shown as June 24, 2013 (revised from an original closing date of June 30, 2013). The archive date is July 24, 2013. Award floor and ceiling values are both listed as 0 in the summary data, which typically means applicants need to refer to the full announcement for specific allocation and award sizing details rather than relying on the brief listing fields.
For applicants or stakeholders needing the full announcement or encountering access issues, the listing points to Grants.gov for additional information and provides a FEMA contact: the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
