Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for FEMA Region 9 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Its central purpose is to provide federal funding that helps governments maintain and strengthen a comprehensive, all-hazards emergency management capability. In practical terms, the program is meant to support the day-to-day building blocks of emergency management so jurisdictions can prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from a wide range of threats and hazards.
The legal authority for the program is grounded in federal emergency management 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, as amended (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.). The announcement emphasizes Title VI of the Stafford Act, which authorizes FEMA to issue grants that establish and sustain a nationwide system of emergency preparedness designed to protect life and property. A key idea in this authority is shared responsibility: emergency preparedness is described as a joint commitment of the federal government and the states and their political subdivisions, rather than something carried by any single level of government alone.
The FY 2014 EMPG program is framed around helping emergency management agencies obtain the resources they need to support the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). That means the funding is tied to building and sustaining the mission areas and core capabilities that make up national preparedness. While the notice does not list specific allowable projects in the text provided, the intent is clearly to fund the personnel, planning, organization, equipment, training, exercises, and coordination activities that enable an all-hazards preparedness system to function effectively and consistently across jurisdictions.
For this specific opportunity listing, the funding opportunity number is DHS-14-GPD-042-009-01 and the CFDA number is 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The activity category is Disaster Prevention and Relief, and the instrument type is a grant. FEMA anticipated 7 awards under this Region 9 opportunity. The estimated total funding amount listed is $350,100,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both shown as $0 in the source data, which typically indicates that individual award sizes may be determined by an allocation formula or other FEMA guidance rather than a fixed minimum or maximum stated in the summary fields.
Eligibility for applicants is limited to state governments. Even though the narrative describes benefits to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, the eligible applicant field in the listing specifies that states are the direct applicants. In practice for programs like EMPG, states commonly apply and then manage how funds support statewide and subrecipient emergency management activities consistent with program rules, but the key point from the listing is that states are the eligible applicants for submission.
Cost sharing or matching is required for this grant opportunity, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project costs as a condition of the award. The exact match percentage and the details of what can count toward the match are not included in the excerpt provided, so applicants would need to refer to the full FEMA announcement or program guidance for the specific FY 2014 requirements.
The opportunity 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. Additional details and the full announcement were available via Grants.gov, and the listing provides a contact point for access issues through FEMA's GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, with the general link shown as http://www.grants.gov.
