Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 5 is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designed to strengthen nationwide emergency preparedness. The program exists to provide funding to states so they can support and improve emergency management capabilities across state, local, territorial, and tribal governments. It 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 a shared national responsibility for emergency preparedness across the federal government, states, and their political subdivisions. In practical terms, FEMA uses EMPG to supply direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance so that a comprehensive, all-hazards emergency preparedness system is maintained at every level of government.
A major emphasis of the FY 2013 EMPG cycle is its role in advancing the National Preparedness System (NPS) and helping jurisdictions build, sustain, and deliver core capabilities tied to the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), which aims for a secure and resilient nation. The opportunity frames preparedness as a "whole community" effort, meaning these core capabilities are not viewed as the responsibility of one agency or one level of government. Instead, it highlights that effective preparedness depends on combined and coordinated work among government partners and the broader community. Funding is therefore intended to support capabilities that can be sustained over time and that contribute directly to measurable readiness outcomes.
Programmatically, the FY 2013 EMPG supports work that aligns with the five mission areas used in national preparedness doctrine: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. The announcement notes that support is based on allowable costs, meaning expenditures must fit within the grant guidance and eligible cost categories established for the program. While the summary text does not list specific line-item eligible expenses, EMPG programs typically focus on maintaining and improving emergency management programs, planning, training, exercises, and coordination functions that underpin these mission areas.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument. It falls under a Homeland Security preparedness grants category (as explained in the listing). The Funding Opportunity Number is DHS 13 GPD 042 005 01 and the CFDA number is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The anticipated number of awards is 58. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal funds or approved equivalents according to program rules. The notice shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which typically indicates that award amounts vary by allocation methodology and are specified in the full guidance rather than as a universal minimum or maximum on the listing page.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting EMPG's structure as a state-administered program that then supports capabilities across subordinate jurisdictions and partner entities. The posting date and creation date are May 21, 2013. The original closing date is June 30, 2013, with an updated current closing date of June 24, 2013, and an archive date of July 24, 2013. Applicants and interested parties are directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials, with an additional information link provided at http://www.grants.gov. For technical difficulty accessing the announcement electronically, the contact listed is FEMA's Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
