Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) Region 10 opportunity was a discretionary federal grant administered by the Department of Homeland Security through FEMA to strengthen how selected regions prepare for large-scale, catastrophic incidents. The core aim was not simply to buy equipment, but to improve the regional ability to plan, coordinate, and manage an all-hazards catastrophic event by building stronger planning communities and producing more integrated plans, protocols, and procedures that work across jurisdictions. In practical terms, the program emphasized identifying gaps in existing catastrophic plans, fixing those shortcomings, and creating repeatable regional planning processes that bring together the relevant partners who would need to act together during a major disaster. A key theme was tying what planners identify as operational needs during catastrophic planning directly to how resources are prioritized and allocated, so planning outcomes translate into realistic readiness improvements.
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 111 010 01; CFDA 97.111) was categorized under Homeland Security preparedness and offered grant funding rather than a cooperative agreement or contract. FEMA expected to make 11 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $14,101,736. The maximum possible award (award ceiling) was listed as $1,281,976, and there was no stated minimum award floor. There was no cost share or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds to receive an award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, specifically the states and territories associated with the existing RCPGP Sites and their established Regional Catastrophic Planning Teams. The application and administration of funds had to run through the Governor-designated State Administrative Agency (SAA). Under the program rules, the SAA was the only entity permitted to apply directly to FEMA for RCPGP funds, even though the work supported by the grant was intended to strengthen regional and multi-jurisdictional preparedness across the designated site. Funding allocations by site were referenced as being provided in Table 1 of the FY 2011 RCPGP Guidance and Application Kit, indicating that amounts were structured by site rather than being purely open competition across all applicants.
The timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted and created on May 19, 2011, with an application deadline of June 20, 2011, and an archive date of July 20, 2011. Applicants and interested parties were directed to FEMA grant resources online for additional information, and a FEMA Systems and Business Support contact was provided for issues accessing the full announcement electronically (Systems and Business Support Branch, GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov). Overall, the Region 10 RCPGP FY 2011 opportunity focused on strengthening catastrophic readiness through better regional planning, improved coordination structures, and innovative planning and personnel approaches that align existing operational resources with the realities of a catastrophic event.
