Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for Region 4 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen all-hazards emergency management capability at the state level, with the intent that benefits flow through to local, tribal, and territorial partners as part of a comprehensive preparedness system. The program is grounded in federal law, specifically Section 662 of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (6 U.S.C. 762) and Title VI of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.). In practical terms, the grant supports the idea that emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility, with FEMA providing national-level direction, coordination, and guidance while states and their political subdivisions build and sustain the day-to-day emergency management programs that protect life and property.
A central purpose of the FY 2014 EMPG is to help emergency management agencies obtain resources needed to support the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), including its mission areas and core capabilities. While the notice does not list specific allowable projects in the text provided, EMPG funding is framed around building and sustaining the broader emergency management system that can prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from a wide range of hazards. This emphasis on "all hazards" means the program is not limited to any single threat type; instead, it is intended to bolster the foundational capabilities that apply across natural disasters, technological incidents, and human-caused events.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a grant funding instrument, with the funding activity category identified as disaster prevention and relief. The Assistance Listing (CFDA) number associated with the program is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). For this particular posting, FEMA anticipated making 8 awards, and the estimated total funding amount across the program is listed as $350,100,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both shown as 0, which generally indicates that the specific award sizes are determined by FEMA’s allocation methodology or subsequent guidance rather than being bounded by a single published minimum or maximum in the synopsis.
Eligibility for this posting is limited to state governments, which reflects how EMPG is commonly structured: states serve as the primary applicants and administrators, coordinating statewide emergency management priorities and, where applicable, passing support through to local or other partners consistent with program rules. The posting also specifies that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients must contribute a non-federal share toward the total project cost, consistent with EMPG’s typical cost-share structure.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on March 10, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 9, 2014, and an archive date of May 6, 2014. The funding opportunity number is DHS-14-GPD-042-004-01, and the title is "Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant Program - Region 4." Applicants and interested parties are directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application package, and the provided point of contact for technical access issues is FEMA’s GMD Systems Branch via email at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
