Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for Region 5 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen overall emergency management capability across an all-hazards spectrum. The program is grounded in federal law, including 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.). In practical terms, this funding is meant to help governments maintain and improve the systems, staffing, planning, coordination, training, and other resources needed to protect lives and property before, during, and after disasters. The underlying idea is shared responsibility: emergency preparedness is not only a federal role, but a joint effort between the federal government and states and their political subdivisions, supported by FEMA through direction, coordination, guidance, and financial assistance.
This particular FY 2014 EMPG funding opportunity emphasizes building and sustaining capabilities aligned with the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). That means applicants are expected to use funds in ways that support the NPG mission areas and core capabilities, which cover the full emergency management cycle and a wide range of hazards, from natural disasters to human-caused incidents. While the notice does not list specific allowable projects in the excerpt provided, EMPG generally supports the foundational capacity of emergency management agencies to coordinate across partners, plan effectively, train personnel, conduct exercises, and maintain readiness systems that allow jurisdictions to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from incidents.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The funding activity category is Disaster Prevention and Relief, and the program is listed under CFDA number 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). For this posting, FEMA anticipated making about 6 awards in Region 5. The estimated total funding amount for the overall FY 2014 EMPG program is listed as $350,100,000. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that award amounts vary by formula, allocation, or other program-specific determinations rather than a single fixed minimum or maximum in the public summary.
Eligibility for this posting is limited to state governments. Even though the program’s purpose statement references assistance to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, the eligible applicant type shown here is state governments, which commonly serve as the primary recipients that may then manage activities statewide and, depending on program rules, coordinate support to local or other partners. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project costs in accordance with EMPG requirements (the specific percentage is not included in the provided text, but the posting clearly indicates that matching is required).
Key dates included in the announcement 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-042-005-01, titled “Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant Program - Region 5.” Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov at the link provided in the notice.
