Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for Region 4 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen the nations day-to-day emergency management capabilities and overall readiness for all hazards. The program is rooted 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, EMPG exists to help governments build and maintain a comprehensive, all-hazards emergency preparedness system that protects lives and property, while reinforcing the shared responsibility between the federal government and states (and their political subdivisions) for preparedness and emergency management.
The central purpose of the FY 2015 EMPG is to provide federal funds that enable state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies to secure the resources they need to support the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). That means the grant is intended to support preparedness across the NPG mission areas and associated core capabilities, rather than focusing on a single threat or a single type of disaster. FEMA, through EMPG, also provides program direction and coordination and offers guidance and assistance to support consistent, nationwide emergency management capacity.
This particular notice is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS-15-GPD-042-004-01 and is categorized as a discretionary grant within the Disaster Prevention and Relief funding activity area. The relevant CFDA listing is 97.042, Emergency Management Performance Grants. The total estimated funding for the overall FY 2015 program is listed as $350,100,000, and the opportunity anticipates 8 awards for this Region 4 announcement. The award ceiling and award floor are both shown as 0 in the listing, which typically indicates that specific per-award minimums or maximums are not stated in the summary fields and may instead be addressed in the full program guidance or allocation methodology.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to state governments, reflecting how EMPG funds are commonly administered through state-level recipients, who may then coordinate, manage, and in many cases pass through resources or support to local partners consistent with program rules. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal funds or allowable in-kind resources at the required ratio as described in the full announcement and program guidance.
Key dates for the FY 2015 Region 4 posting include a posted date of March 25, 2015, with an application deadline (closing date) of April 24, 2015. The archive date is May 24, 2015, indicating that the opportunity was later moved out of active status after the submission window closed. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov, and for technical difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was FEMAs GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
