Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) Region 5 is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is designed to strengthen how selected regional sites plan for and manage catastrophic incidents, with an emphasis on all-hazards preparedness. The core idea is to improve coordination across a region so that, when a large-scale disaster overwhelms normal capabilities, the participating jurisdictions already have shared plans, agreed-upon procedures, and established planning relationships that can scale quickly under extreme conditions.
The program focuses primarily on planning and coordination rather than purchasing equipment. It supports the creation and refinement of integrated planning communities and the development of regional plans, protocols, and procedures that help manage complex catastrophic events. A major objective is to identify shortcomings in existing plans and close those gaps through deliberate regional planning processes. Another key theme is linking operational needs identified in catastrophic plans to resource allocation, so planning is not just theoretical but connected to what would actually be required to operate during a catastrophic scenario. The grant also encourages innovative approaches to preparedness through planning and personnel efforts, and it aims to better align existing operational resources within the selected areas so different agencies and jurisdictions can work together more effectively.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 111 005 01 and is associated with CFDA 97.111 (Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program). The activity area is homeland security preparedness. FEMA anticipated making 11 awards under this notice, with an estimated total program funding amount of $14,101,736. Individual awards could be as high as $1,281,976, with no stated minimum award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means recipients are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is limited and structured around the existing RCPGP framework. Eligible applicants for FY 2011 include the existing Regional Catastrophic Planning Teams and their associated designated sites, with allocation amounts identified in Table 1 of the FY 2011 RCPGP Guidance and Application Kit. Even though the work is regional, the only entity allowed to apply directly to FEMA is the State Administrative Agency (SAA) designated by the Governor of each state or territory. In other words, state governments apply and administer the funds on behalf of the eligible regional site participants, and the SAA serves as the official applicant and grant administrator.
Key dates for the opportunity include a posted and creation date of May 19, 2011, an application closing date of June 20, 2011 (original and current), and an archive date of July 20, 2011. Additional general grant information was provided through FEMA at http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/index.shtm. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, FEMA directed inquiries to the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
