Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for Region 10 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen day-to-day emergency management capacity across an all-hazards spectrum. The program 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.). In practical terms, this funding supports the shared responsibility model where the federal government and states (and their political subdivisions) jointly build and maintain emergency preparedness systems that protect life and property.
The core purpose of the FY 2015 EMPG is to provide federal dollars that help state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies secure the resources they need to support the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). That means the money is intended to reinforce the mission areas and core capabilities that underpin national preparedness, helping jurisdictions plan, organize, equip, train, exercise, and improve their emergency management programs. FEMA’s role through EMPG is not only to provide financial assistance, but also to provide direction, coordination, and guidance so that funded activities contribute to a comprehensive, coordinated emergency preparedness system rather than isolated, one-off projects.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was posted on March 25, 2015, with an application deadline of April 24, 2015, and an archive date of May 24, 2015. It is a discretionary grant (FundingOpportunityNumber: DHS 15 GPD 042 010 01) categorized under disaster prevention and relief, and it is listed under CFDA 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). FEMA expected to make 4 awards under this Region 10 opportunity. The estimated total funding amount for the broader FY 2015 EMPG program is stated as $350,100,000, while the listing does not specify an award floor or ceiling (both are shown as 0), which typically indicates that the precise award amounts are determined through allocations or programmatic decisions rather than a fixed per-award range published in the summary.
Eligibility for this specific posting is limited to state governments, even though the program’s purpose emphasizes benefits to state, local, tribal, and territorial preparedness overall. This usually reflects that states apply as the primary recipients and then manage implementation and pass-through or support mechanisms consistent with program rules and statewide emergency management priorities. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal grant funds, consistent with EMPG’s long-standing structure.
