Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 4 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen all-hazards emergency management capabilities at the state level, with benefits extending to local, territorial, and tribal partners. 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 sets out a shared responsibility model for emergency preparedness across the federal government, states, and their political subdivisions. In practical terms, EMPG funding is meant to help create and maintain a comprehensive, nationwide emergency preparedness system that protects life and property from a wide range of hazards, while FEMA provides overarching direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance to support that system.
A key emphasis of the FY 2013 EMPG is its role in advancing the National Preparedness System (NPS) and supporting the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), which aims for a secure and resilient nation. The opportunity frames preparedness as a "whole community" effort rather than something that can be delivered by one level of government alone. Funding is intended to help build, sustain, and deliver core capabilities, recognizing that preparedness requires coordinated planning, training, exercises, operational readiness, and program management across multiple partners. The grant supports work aligned to the five mission areas used in national preparedness doctrine: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery, with spending tied to allowable cost principles and program guidance.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant program (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 GPD 042 004 01) categorized as a Homeland Security Preparedness Grant under CFDA 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The only listed eligible applicants are state governments, reflecting the program structure in which states typically apply and then manage or pass through resources to support broader emergency management activities within their jurisdictions. The opportunity anticipated 58 awards. It also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project costs in accordance with program rules.
The posting date for the opportunity was May 21, 2013, with an original closing date of June 30, 2013, later adjusted to a current closing date of June 24, 2013, and an archive date of July 24, 2013. The award floor and award ceiling are both listed as 0, which usually indicates that specific award amounts vary by formula, allocation, or other program determinations and are not stated as fixed minimums or maximums in the summary data. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov, and applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to FEMA's GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
