Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 6 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 governments. 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 between the federal government, states, and their political subdivisions. In practical terms, the EMPG program is meant to help maintain and improve the systems, staffing, planning, coordination, training, and other capabilities that allow governments to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from disasters and emergencies of all types (the "all hazards" approach).
A major emphasis of FY 2013 EMPG is supporting implementation of the National Preparedness System (NPS) and advancing the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), which centers on building a secure and resilient nation. FEMA describes this as building, sustaining, and delivering "core capabilities" across the full spectrum of emergency management. Those capabilities are not treated as the job of any single agency or level of government; instead, FEMA stresses a "whole community" approach that depends on coordinated contributions from government partners and the broader community. Funding is tied to allowable costs that help recipients develop and maintain these core capabilities across the five mission areas: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as discretionary funding using the grant instrument type, categorized as a Homeland Security Preparedness Grant. The Funding Opportunity Number is DHS 13 GPD 042 006 01, and the Grants.gov listing indicates an expected total of 58 awards. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the structure of EMPG as a state-administered program that then supports lower levels of government and tribal partners as part of statewide preparedness and emergency management systems.
The opportunity was posted on 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. The listing indicates there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources as part of the project cost (the specific match percentage and rules would be detailed in the full notice). The award ceiling and award floor are both shown as 0 in the summary data, which typically signals that applicants need to consult the full announcement for actual allocation amounts or that awards vary based on formula and program guidance rather than a single published range.
For applicants or users who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a program support contact through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov. The additional information and full announcement were available through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov.
