Opportunity Summary:
The FY11 Earthquake and Building Science Program Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 MT 082 000 02) was a FEMA discretionary grant offered under the Department of Homeland Security. It used a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, meaning FEMA expected to stay actively involved with the awardee in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sat in the Disaster Prevention and Relief Education activity area and was tied to CFDA 97.082 (Earthquake Consortium), reflecting its focus on earthquake risk reduction and building science outreach.
The stated purpose was to support effective outreach, stakeholder partnership, and on-the-ground implementation connected to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). In practical terms, the award was intended to help move NEHRP-related mission goals, standards, and products into broader use by the audiences that influence real-world resilience, such as homeowners, builders, design professionals, insurers, community leaders, and other risk-reduction partners. FEMA also framed the work to include "other multi-hazard risk reduction and resilience activities," signaling that while earthquakes were central, the outreach and implementation approach could reinforce wider resilience practices and messaging where hazards overlap.
This opportunity was highly targeted and not open competition. Eligibility was restricted to a single organization, the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH), as determined by FEMA given limited available funding. The announcement anticipated one award total, with an estimated total funding amount of $410,000. The award ceiling matched the total at $410,000, the award floor was listed as $0, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Timing-wise, the notice was posted and created on August 22, 2011, and it had a short application window with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on September 28, 2011. For additional details, FEMA pointed applicants to its website, and it provided a technical assistance contact (Systems and Business Support Branch via the FEMA systems email) for anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
