Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 10 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen statewide emergency management systems and improve preparedness for all hazards. The program is authorized by 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 states support and coordinate preparedness activities that benefit state, local, territorial, and tribal partners, with FEMA providing national-level direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance so that emergency preparedness capabilities exist consistently at every level.
A central theme of the FY 2013 EMPG program is alignment with FEMA's National Preparedness System (NPS) and the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). Funding is intended to help build, sustain, and deliver "core capabilities" needed to create a secure and resilient nation. The notice emphasizes that these capabilities cannot be delivered by one agency or one level of government alone; instead, they require a "whole community" approach that includes coordination across government entities and, where relevant, community organizations and partners. EMPG funds can support capabilities spanning all five mission areas: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery, as long as the proposed costs are allowable under the program rules.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant (not an entitlement) and is categorized as a homeland security preparedness grant. The eligible applicants listed for this opportunity are state governments, with the expectation that the state serves as the primary recipient and uses the award to support statewide emergency management priorities and, as applicable, pass through resources or support activities that benefit local and other partners consistent with program guidance. The assistance listing (CFDA) for the program is 97.042, Emergency Management Performance Grants, and the opportunity anticipated 58 awards.
Key dates and identifiers included in the announcement are: Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 GPD 042 010 01; posting and creation date of May 21, 2013; an original application closing date of June 30, 2013 that was updated to a current closing date of June 24, 2013; and an archive date of July 24, 2013. The award floor and ceiling are both shown as 0 in the summary data, which typically indicates that the specific award amounts are determined through the allocation and award process rather than being published as fixed minimums or maximums in the basic listing. The opportunity also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients must contribute a portion of the total project cost from non-federal sources in accordance with EMPG requirements.
Applicants and interested parties were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials. For technical issues accessing the announcement electronically, the notice provides a FEMA contact: the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
