Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for FEMA Region 6 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA. The program is designed to strengthen the nation s emergency management system by funding state level efforts that support preparedness for all hazards. In practice, the EMPG program is intended to help state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management partners build and sustain the capabilities needed to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from a wide range of threats and disasters, whether natural, technological, or human caused.
The legal foundation for the program comes from Section 662 of the Post Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (codified at 6 U.S.C. 762) and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.). FEMA cites Title VI of the Stafford Act in particular as the authority to make grants that support a national system of emergency preparedness focused on protecting life and property. This framing matters because it emphasizes that preparedness is a shared responsibility: the federal government provides direction, coordination, guidance, and assistance, while states and their political subdivisions carry major operational responsibility for building and maintaining emergency management programs.
For FY 2014, the EMPG funds are positioned to help emergency management agencies obtain resources aligned with the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). The NPG organizes national preparedness around core capabilities across the five mission areas (Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery). While the notice does not list specific allowable projects in the excerpt provided, the intent is clearly to support the capabilities that make an all hazards emergency management program work, including planning, training, exercises, coordination, and other program elements that contribute to statewide and community readiness.
This opportunity is identified on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 14 GPD 042 006 01 and CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 97.042, Emergency Management Performance Grants. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Disaster Prevention and Relief. FEMA anticipated making 5 awards for the Region 6 competition or allocation reflected in this listing. The total estimated funding for the broader FY 2014 EMPG program is listed as $350,100,000, although the notice shows no stated award ceiling or award floor, which typically indicates that award amounts are determined by formula, allocation, or other program specific factors rather than a single competitive maximum or minimum.
Eligibility for this listing is limited to state governments. Even though the program description references benefits flowing to local, tribal, and territorial governments, the eligible applicants field indicates that states are the direct applicants for this particular opportunity, with states often passing resources through or using them to support statewide systems that integrate local and other partners.
Cost sharing or matching is required. The announcement excerpt does not specify the match percentage or how it must be applied, but it does clearly signal that applicants should plan for non federal contributions as a condition of receiving funds, consistent with common EMPG requirements.
Key dates for the opportunity include a posted and created date of March 10, 2014, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of April 9, 2014. The archive date is May 6, 2014, meaning the listing was later closed out on Grants.gov for historical record. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, FEMA provided a point of contact through the Grants Management Division Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, and the listing points applicants to the general information page at http://www.grants.gov for full application materials and instructions.
