Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for Region 2 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen day-to-day emergency management capabilities across all hazards. The program is grounded in federal law, primarily 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.). Under Title VI of the Stafford Act, FEMA is authorized to help build and sustain a nationwide system of emergency preparedness that protects life and property and shares responsibility for preparedness between the federal government and states and their political subdivisions. In practical terms, this grant is aimed at supporting the ongoing emergency management functions that jurisdictions rely on before, during, and after incidents, rather than focusing narrowly on a single threat or a one-time project.
The core purpose of the FY 2014 EMPG is to provide federal funding that enables state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies to secure the resources needed to support the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). That means the grant is tied to improving capability across the NPG mission areas and core capabilities associated with preventing, protecting against, mitigating, responding to, and recovering from disasters and emergencies. FEMA positions EMPG as a way to provide direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance to help jurisdictions maintain a comprehensive, all-hazards preparedness system. This all-hazards framing is important because it is meant to support preparedness that applies broadly, such as planning, coordination, training, exercises, and program management capacity that can be used for natural disasters, technological incidents, and other emergencies.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant in the disaster prevention and relief category and is associated with CFDA number 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). For Region 2, the announcement anticipated four awards. The posting date and creation date were March 10, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 9, 2014. The archive date was May 6, 2014. The estimated total funding for the broader FY 2014 EMPG program was $350,100,000, while the listed award ceiling and award floor were both shown as $0, which typically indicates that award amounts vary by formula or allocation methodology and are not expressed as fixed minimums or maximums in the synopsis.
Eligibility for this specific listing is identified as state governments. While the program description references support to local, tribal, and territorial governments as part of the broader emergency management system, the direct eligible applicants in this posting are states, which commonly administer EMPG funds and then coordinate program activities and, where applicable, pass-through support consistent with federal and state requirements. The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project costs in accordance with EMPG rules for that fiscal year.
