Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program for Region 9 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen emergency management capacity at the state level and, through the state, support local, territorial, and tribal partners in preparing for all hazards. 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 authorizes FEMA to help build a nationwide system of emergency preparedness aimed at protecting life and property. In practical terms, EMPG reflects the idea that preparedness is a shared responsibility: the federal government provides coordination, direction, guidance, and assistance, while states and their political subdivisions carry out and sustain emergency management capabilities that work across levels of government and the broader community.
A central emphasis of the FY 2013 EMPG is its role in advancing the National Preparedness System (NPS) and helping jurisdictions make progress toward the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), which focuses on achieving a secure and resilient nation. The program funds activities that build, sustain, and deliver "core capabilities" rather than focusing on a single threat or a single part of emergency management. Those capabilities are intended to support the full range of preparedness work across the five mission areas: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. The announcement highlights that these capabilities are not owned by any one agency or level of government; they depend on a whole-community approach that includes coordination among government entities and engagement with partners who contribute to preparedness outcomes.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant with the funding opportunity number DHS-13-GPD-042-009-01 and is categorized as a Homeland Security Preparedness Grant. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The eligible applicants for this posting are state governments, and the opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with program rules. FEMA anticipated making 58 awards under this opportunity. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor in the provided data fields (both are listed as 0), which typically indicates that the specific funding amounts are defined in the full announcement materials rather than summarized in the listing.
Key dates in the posting include an original posting date of May 21, 2013, with an initial closing date of June 30, 2013 that was later updated to a current closing date of June 24, 2013. The listing shows an archive date of July 24, 2013, indicating the opportunity was time-limited and later closed out on the grants portal. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application instructions. For technical issues accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was FEMA's Systems and Business Support Branch (GMD Systems Branch) via the email address SystemsBranch@fema.gov.
