Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 8 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen nationwide emergency management readiness. The central aim of the EMPG program is to provide grant funding to states so they can support and improve emergency preparedness activities that help state, local, territorial, and tribal governments get ready for, respond to, recover from, and reduce the impacts of all types of hazards. This authority comes from the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), specifically Title VI, which establishes a shared responsibility model where emergency preparedness is jointly held by the federal government, states, and their political subdivisions. In practical terms, FEMA uses EMPG to provide direction, coordination, guidance, and financial assistance so that a comprehensive emergency preparedness system exists at every level of government and across the full range of hazards.
A key emphasis in the FY 2013 EMPG program is its role in advancing the National Preparedness System (NPS) and supporting the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), which focuses on building a secure and resilient nation. The program is framed around the idea that preparedness is not something a single agency or level of government can handle alone. Instead, it requires a "whole community" approach, meaning coordinated effort among government agencies, nongovernmental partners, and community stakeholders. EMPG funding is intended to help build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities that underpin national preparedness, recognizing that capability development often depends on long-term investments in planning, training, exercises, operational coordination, and emergency management program management rather than one-time purchases.
In terms of what the grant is meant to support, FY 2013 EMPG funding aligns with core capabilities across all five mission areas: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. The announcement indicates that support is based on allowable costs, which generally means activities and expenditures must be consistent with FEMA program guidance and tied to capability development within those mission areas. While the summary does not list specific line-item costs, the stated intent is clear: strengthen the emergency preparedness system through investments that improve readiness and performance across the full emergency management lifecycle.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses a grant funding instrument. It falls under a homeland security preparedness grant activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The expected number of awards is 58, and eligibility is limited to state governments. 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 shows award floor and ceiling values as 0, which typically signals that specific award amounts are not provided in the summary record and are instead defined in the full announcement or determined through allocation formulas and program guidance. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal award, consistent with EMPG requirements.
For applicants or stakeholders needing more details, the official posting directs users to Grants.gov and provides a FEMA contact for electronic access issues through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
