Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Region 7 is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) award administered by FEMA that provides grant funding to states to strengthen emergency management capabilities for all hazards. The central goal is to help states support and coordinate preparedness activities that ultimately benefit state, local, territorial, and tribal governments. 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 fund the development and maintenance of an emergency preparedness system that protects life and property. The underlying idea is shared responsibility: the federal government supplies direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance, while states and their political subdivisions carry out preparedness work in a way that builds a comprehensive, nationwide system.
In FY 2013, EMPG is positioned as a key mechanism for putting the National Preparedness System (NPS) into practice and for helping jurisdictions move toward the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), which emphasizes a secure and resilient nation. Rather than treating preparedness as a single-agency or single-level-of-government job, the notice highlights a "whole community" approach, meaning that effective preparedness depends on combined efforts across government levels and community partners. Funding is intended to support the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities, which are the practical skills and capacities needed to prevent incidents, protect against threats, mitigate impacts, respond effectively, and recover afterward.
The scope of supported activities spans the five mission areas used in national preparedness doctrine: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. The opportunity makes clear that support is tied to allowable costs, meaning funds must be used for eligible emergency management and preparedness purposes as defined by FEMA guidance for the program. While the announcement text provided does not list specific budget line items, EMPG typically focuses on strengthening emergency management programs and systems that enable coordinated planning, training, exercises, operational readiness, and program management across hazards.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity using a grant funding instrument, categorized under Homeland Security Preparedness Grant activities. The CFDA number listed is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The eligible applicants for this Region 7 opportunity are state governments, and the program includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal funds or resources in accordance with program rules. The opportunity anticipated 58 awards. The posting date and creation date are both May 21, 2013. The original closing date was June 30, 2013, but the current closing date shown is June 24, 2013, with an archive date of July 24, 2013. The award ceiling and floor are listed as 0 in the source fields, which usually indicates that the specific funding levels are defined elsewhere in the full announcement or by allocation methodology rather than stated as simple minimum/maximum amounts in the summary record.
For applicants or stakeholders seeking the full announcement, the listing points to Grants.gov as the primary source (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 GPD 042 007 01).
