Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 2 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen nationwide emergency preparedness for all hazards. Its core purpose is to provide funding to states so they can support and improve emergency management capabilities across state, local, territorial, and tribal levels of government. 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 lays out the federal role in helping create and maintain a coordinated, comprehensive emergency preparedness system that protects life and property. In practical terms, EMPG reflects the idea that preparedness is a shared responsibility: the federal government provides direction, coordination, and assistance, while states and their political subdivisions carry out key preparedness and capability-building work within their jurisdictions.
This FY 2013 EMPG opportunity emphasizes alignment with FEMA's National Preparedness System (NPS) and supports the broader National Preparedness Goal (NPG), which aims for a secure and resilient nation. The grant is intended to help recipients build, sustain, and deliver "core capabilities" that are necessary for effective preparedness and emergency management. A central theme of the program is the "whole community" approach, meaning preparedness is not something any single agency or level of government can accomplish alone. Instead, it requires coordinated effort across government partners and the broader community, including stakeholders who contribute to preventing incidents, protecting against threats, mitigating impacts, responding effectively, and supporting recovery.
Funding priorities under this announcement are framed around the five mission areas commonly used in national preparedness doctrine: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. The program supports activities and investments that are allowable under EMPG cost rules and that directly contribute to those mission areas through measurable capability improvements. While the announcement does not specify a fixed award floor or ceiling (both are listed as 0 in the opportunity data), it does indicate an anticipated total of 58 awards, reflecting distribution across eligible applicants in the program's scope for Region 2.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity with the funding activity category described as a Homeland Security Preparedness Grant. The funding opportunity number is DHS 13 GPD 042 002 01, and the CFDA listing is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, which generally apply on behalf of statewide emergency management priorities and then support activities that may benefit local, territorial, and tribal partners consistent with program requirements. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute a non-federal share in accordance with EMPG rules rather than relying entirely on federal funding.
Key dates listed for the opportunity include a posted date of May 21, 2013, with an original closing date of June 30, 2013, later updated to a current closing date of June 24, 2013. The archive date is July 24, 2013. For applicants or stakeholders needing official documents, application details, and full requirements, the announcement directs users to Grants.gov via the provided link. For technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a contact point through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
