Opportunity Summary:
The FY14 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 14 MT 082 000 01) is a FEMA discretionary funding announcement under the Department of Homeland Security that uses a cooperative agreement instrument to support earthquake mitigation work. It sits under CFDA 97.082 (Earthquake Consortium) and is framed explicitly around the NEHRP Act (42 U.S.C. 7704), which authorizes FEMA to partner with key organizations to advance national earthquake risk reduction priorities. The program focus is earthquake mitigation, but the description also notes support for related hazards where appropriate, reflecting the practical overlap between earthquake preparedness and broader emergency management and resilience efforts.
The purpose of the awards is to fund critical activities that reduce earthquake risk and strengthen community readiness. FEMA highlights work such as earthquake education and public outreach, improving the adoption and enforcement of building codes, advancing seismic mitigation measures, supporting emergency management planning, and deepening stakeholder engagement and partnerships. The scope also includes helping jurisdictions and local leaders develop earthquake-related policy, which typically covers the kinds of decisions that shape preparedness over time, like mitigation planning, retrofitting strategies, code modernization pathways, and coordination between public agencies and private-sector partners. Because these are cooperative agreements rather than standard grants, FEMA is signaling that it expects meaningful federal involvement during the period of performance, such as collaboration on priorities, deliverables, and coordination with NEHRP goals.
This opportunity is explicitly non-competitive and limited to a named set of eligible applicants rather than open to the general public. While the eligible applicant category lists certain 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education) and includes an "Others" category, the eligibility is constrained to seven specific organizations: the Northeast States Emergency Consortium (NESEC), the Western States Seismic Policy Council (WSSPC), the Central United States Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC), the Cascadia Region Earthquake Workgroup (CREW), the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), and the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH). FEMA also provides expected award amounts for each organization, which collectively align with the program’s total funding estimate.
Funding levels indicate a moderately sized portfolio distributed across these seven partners. FEMA estimated total funding at $2,915,500, with individual awards expected to range from a floor of $200,000 to a ceiling of $700,000. The award amounts listed for the eligible recipients are: NESEC ($275,000), WSSPC ($275,500), CUSEC ($615,000), CREW ($200,000), EERI ($550,000), SCEC ($300,000), and FLASH ($700,000). FEMA anticipated making seven awards, matching the number of named recipients, and the announcement specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to executing the work as planned and allows recipients to focus federal funds on program deliverables rather than assembling matching resources.
The announcement timeline shows it was posted and created on July 31, 2014, with an application closing date of August 15, 2014, and an archive date of September 14, 2014. Additional details were available through the official posting on Grants.gov, and FEMA provided a technical contact for applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically: the GMD Systems Branch at FEMA (via the email listed in the notice). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as FEMA continuing NEHRP-authorized partnerships with established regional and national earthquake organizations to deliver education, code and mitigation advancement, planning support, and policy and stakeholder engagement that measurably reduce earthquake impacts.
