Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 3 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen nationwide emergency preparedness by funding state-level efforts that support state, local, territorial, and tribal readiness for all hazards. The program is rooted 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 help create and maintain a comprehensive emergency preparedness system that protects life and property. The underlying premise is shared responsibility: the federal government provides direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance, while states and their political subdivisions play a central role in building and sustaining the capabilities needed to manage disasters and emergencies.
A major emphasis of the FY 2013 EMPG is its connection to the National Preparedness System (NPS) and the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). In practical terms, the grant is intended to help governments build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities required to achieve a secure and resilient nation. FEMA frames this work as a "whole community" effort, meaning preparedness is not limited to one agency or level of government. Instead, it depends on coordinated planning, training, resource management, and operational readiness across multiple partners. The grant supports activities and allowable costs that align with core capabilities spanning the five mission areas: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. This includes capability development and sustainment work that helps jurisdictions prevent incidents where possible, protect people and infrastructure, reduce risk, respond effectively when events occur, and recover in a way that restores and strengthens communities.
From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, this opportunity was posted on May 21, 2013, under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 GPD 042 003 01, and is categorized as a discretionary grant within the Homeland Security Preparedness Grant context. The eligible applicants are state governments, reflecting EMPG's structure as a state-administered program that can be used to support a broader network of partners and activities within the state, including local and other governmental components consistent with program rules. The CFDA listing is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The opportunity anticipated 58 awards, and it carried a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the program's match policy. The original closing date was June 30, 2013, later updated to June 24, 2013, with an archive date of July 24, 2013. The published award floor and ceiling values were listed as 0, which typically indicates that specific award amounts vary and are determined through FEMA's allocation and award process rather than fixed minimums or maximums in the listing.
For applicants or interested parties needing the full announcement details, the opportunity directed users to Grants.gov, and provided a FEMA contact for technical access issues through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
