Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for Region 2 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen day-to-day emergency management capacity across all hazards. The program exists to help governments build and sustain a comprehensive emergency preparedness system that protects life and property, and it is rooted in federal law, including Section 662 of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (6 U.S.C. 762) and Title VI of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.). In practical terms, EMPG is meant to support the people, planning, coordination, training, and other core elements that allow emergency management agencies to be ready for disasters of all types, not just a single threat or scenario.
This FY 2015 funding cycle is structured as a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-15-GPD-042-002-01) within the Disaster Prevention and Relief activity category, and it is tied to CFDA 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The emphasis is on enabling state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies to obtain the resources they need to support the National Preparedness Goal and its related mission areas and core capabilities. FEMA frames EMPG as a partnership model: the federal government provides direction, coordination, and guidance, along with financial assistance, while states and their political subdivisions share responsibility for building and maintaining preparedness.
For this specific posting, eligible applicants are state governments, and FEMA anticipated making four awards. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project costs in accordance with EMPG rules. The total estimated funding amount listed for the program is $350,100,000, while the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which typically indicates that individual award amounts are determined by formula, allocation, or other program guidance rather than a fixed minimum or maximum stated in the synopsis.
Key dates for the opportunity are as follows: it was posted and created on March 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 24, 2015, and it was archived on May 24, 2015. The awarding agency is FEMA within DHS. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is the FEMA Grants Management and Directorate Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
