Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for Region 5 is a FEMA-administered grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen all-hazards emergency management capabilities at the state and local level. The program is rooted in federal emergency management law and policy, 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.). In practical terms, EMPG is intended to help build and sustain a nationwide system of emergency preparedness that protects lives and property from a wide range of hazards, while reinforcing the shared responsibility between the federal government, states, and their political subdivisions. FEMA provides overarching direction, coordination, and guidance through the program, while also supplying financial assistance that recipients can use to strengthen their emergency management programs.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant within the “Disaster Prevention and Relief” activity area and is tied to CFDA number 97.042 (Emergency Management Performance Grants). The program’s purpose is not limited to a single threat or hazard; instead, it supports comprehensive preparedness efforts across mission areas and core capabilities aligned with the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). That includes the kinds of planning, coordination, organizational capacity, and readiness investments that allow emergency management agencies to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters. The overall emphasis is on ensuring emergency management agencies have the resources necessary to operate an effective all-hazards preparedness system, rather than focusing solely on one-time projects.
For FY 2015, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $350,100,000, with an expectation of six awards for the Region 5 posting. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the notice indicates there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall program costs in accordance with EMPG rules. The listing does not specify an award floor or ceiling (both shown as 0), which usually signals that award sizes depend on allocations, formulas, or other program determinations rather than fixed minimums or maximums stated in the summary listing.
Eligibility for this posting is limited to state governments. While EMPG is described as supporting state, local, tribal, and territorial governments broadly, the eligible applicant listed for this specific opportunity is the state level, which typically functions as the primary applicant and administrator for distributing or managing funds consistent with FEMA guidance and state program structures. The official opportunity identifier is DHS-15-GPD-042-005-01, and the title is “Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Emergency Management Performance Grant Program - Region 5.”
Key dates in the listing show it was posted and created on March 25, 2015, with an application closing date of April 24, 2015 (original and current closing dates are the same). The archive date is May 24, 2015, indicating when the listing was moved into an archived status on Grants.gov. Additional details and full announcement materials were made available through Grants.gov, and the listing provides a support contact for access issues: the FEMA GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
