Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for Region 7 is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen emergency management capability across all hazards. The program’s purpose is to provide federal funding that helps state, local, tribal, and territorial governments build and sustain the systems, staffing, planning, training, exercises, and coordination needed to protect life and property. EMPG 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, the program reflects the idea that preparedness is a shared responsibility, with FEMA offering direction, coordination, guidance, and financial support while state and local partners implement and maintain operational readiness.
This FY 2014 funding is aimed at helping emergency management agencies secure the resources required to support the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), including its mission areas and core capabilities. That means the grant is not limited to one type of disaster or threat; instead, it supports an “all-hazards†approach that can apply to natural disasters, technological incidents, and other emergencies. Under Title VI of the Stafford Act, FEMA is authorized to fund a system of emergency preparedness that builds a comprehensive nationwide framework, with responsibilities shared between the federal government and states and their political subdivisions. The EMPG program is one of the main funding mechanisms FEMA uses to reinforce that framework, ensuring jurisdictions can plan and coordinate effectively before, during, and after incidents.
The opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses a grant funding instrument type, with the funding activity category identified as Disaster Prevention and Relief. The funding opportunity number is DHS 14 GPD 042 007 01, and the CFDA number is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). For this particular announcement, FEMA anticipated making about 4 awards in Region 7. The estimated total funding across the program is listed as $350,100,000. The posting date and creation date were both March 10, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 9, 2014, and an archive date of May 6, 2014. The notice lists award ceiling and floor as $0, which typically indicates that specific award amounts vary by allocation methodology or are detailed elsewhere in FEMA guidance rather than being capped in the announcement text itself.
Eligibility for this specific listing is limited to state governments. A key condition is that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost according to EMPG program rules. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, FEMA directed inquiries to the GMD Systems Branch at the provided email address: GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
