Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for FEMA Region 8 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It is designed to strengthen day-to-day emergency management capability and broader disaster readiness by helping governments build and sustain an all-hazards emergency preparedness system. In practical terms, the program is meant to support the people, planning, coordination, training, and other foundational capacities that allow jurisdictions to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from emergencies of all types.
This opportunity is grounded in federal law, specifically 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.), including Title VI of the Stafford Act. These authorities establish that emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility between the federal government and states (and their political subdivisions), and they authorize FEMA to provide grants that help create and maintain systems to protect life and property from hazards across the United States. The EMPG program reflects that shared-responsibility model by combining federal financial support with state and local implementation.
The FY 2014 EMPG funding is intended to help state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies secure the resources needed to advance the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). That means aligning emergency management investments and activities with the NPG mission areas and core capabilities. While the posting does not list specific allowable cost categories, the stated emphasis is on building a comprehensive, all-hazards preparedness system and supporting the capabilities that underpin effective emergency management across the full lifecycle of disasters and emergencies.
For this Region 8 posting, the funding opportunity number is DHS-14-GPD-042-008-01, and the CFDA number is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The activity category is Disaster Prevention and Relief. FEMA anticipated making 6 awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding amount for the FY 2014 EMPG program is listed as $350,100,000. The notice lists an award ceiling of $0 and an award floor of $0, which typically indicates that individual award sizes vary by formula or allocation methodology rather than being capped by a single ceiling in the public notice.
Eligibility in the summarized source data is shown as state governments. Although the narrative description references assistance to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, the eligible applicant field for this specific posting indicates that the state is the direct applicant, with funding commonly managed at the state level and then used to support statewide emergency management priorities and, where applicable, subawards or pass-through support consistent with program rules.
The announcement was posted and created on March 10, 2014. The original and current closing date was April 9, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on May 6, 2014. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement details. For technical difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a point of contact through the GMD Systems Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov. Additional details and the official application package were referenced via Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov.
