Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Baseline Assessment Grant (EMBAG) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered through FEMA, aimed at identifying and documenting gaps in how state governments coordinate across agencies for emergency management and continuity of government. The central premise behind the program is that, based on federal observations, states do not always consistently bring all relevant state agencies to the table when developing or updating plans across the full emergency management cycle. That includes prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery planning, as well as continuity of government efforts. In practical terms, the grant is meant to support a structured baseline assessment that helps pinpoint where interagency cooperation breaks down, where participation is inconsistent, and where continuity planning may be incomplete or uneven across departments.
This funding opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 14 NPD 131 000 01 and is categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the “Information and Statistics” activity category, reflecting that the emphasis is on assessment, analysis, and the generation of actionable findings rather than direct operational response activities. FEMA anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total program funding level of $900,000. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both are listed as 0), which typically indicates that the announcement itself does not specify fixed minimum or maximum award sizes in the summary fields and that applicants would need to rely on the full notice for any detailed budget constraints or expectations.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The program is associated with CFDA number 97.131 (Emergency Management Baseline Assessments Grant - EMBAG), which is the federal assistance listing used for tracking and public reference.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on July 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 31, 2014, and an archive date of August 30, 2014. Interested applicants at the time were directed to access the full announcement through Grants.gov, and the contact for assistance with accessing the announcement electronically was FEMA’s GMD Systems Branch (via the provided email address). Overall, the EMBAG program is best understood as a focused investment in diagnosing coordination and continuity planning weaknesses at the state level by funding a comprehensive baseline assessment that can inform improvements in multi-agency planning and governance for emergencies.
