Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for FEMA Region 10 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA. The program is designed to strengthen all-hazards emergency management by giving states (and, through them, local, tribal, and territorial partners) funding to build and sustain the capabilities needed to protect lives and property. In plain terms, it helps emergency management agencies pay for the people, planning, training, coordination, and operational supports that keep preparedness programs functioning day to day and ready to scale up during disasters.
This grant is grounded in federal emergency management law and policy, specifically Section 662 of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (6 U.S.C. 762) and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.). Title VI of the Stafford Act is the key authority referenced here, because it directs FEMA to support a nationwide emergency preparedness system and makes preparedness a shared responsibility between the federal government and the states (and their political subdivisions). The EMPG program reflects that shared-responsibility model: FEMA provides funds plus national-level direction, coordination, and guidance, while state emergency management agencies use the assistance to manage and improve preparedness and readiness across their jurisdictions.
For FY 2014, the EMPG program emphasizes aligning investments with the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). That means the funded work is expected to support the NPG mission areas and core capabilities, which broadly span prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery activities. While the notice does not list specific allowable project types in the excerpt provided, the intent is clear: recipients should use funds to obtain and sustain the resources required for comprehensive, all-hazards preparedness, not just for a single threat or disaster type. The framing also signals that FEMA views EMPG as foundational emergency management support, helping maintain the systems and coordination structures that make other preparedness and response efforts effective.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on March 10, 2014, with an application deadline of April 9, 2014, and it was archived on May 6, 2014. The funding opportunity number is DHS-14-GPD-042-010-01, and the associated CFDA listing is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The activity category is Disaster Prevention and Relief, and the funding instrument type is a grant. FEMA anticipated making 4 awards under this Region 10 opportunity. The estimated total funding amount listed is $350,100,000. The notice shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that award amounts vary by formula, allocation, or other program-specific methodology rather than using a standard minimum or maximum per award in the public synopsis.
Eligibility for this specific posting is limited to state governments. Even though the program description discusses benefits for local, tribal, and territorial governments, the eligible applicant field indicates that the state is the direct applicant and award recipient for this announcement. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute a portion of the total project cost from non-federal sources according to the program rules (the exact match percentage is not specified in the text you provided, but the requirement is explicitly marked as "Yes").
For additional details or full announcement materials, the notice points applicants to Grants.gov and provides a FEMA contact for access issues: the GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
