Opportunity Summary:
The NEHRP Earthquake State Assistance grant opportunity is a FEMA National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) cooperative agreement designed to help states strengthen earthquake risk reduction and mitigation efforts, especially at the local level. Rooted in the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 (P.L. 95-124) and the NEHRP Reauthorization Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-360), the program supports FEMA's broader mission of reducing the risk to life and property from future earthquakes across the United States by building and maintaining an effective, state-driven earthquake safety program. The underlying idea is to move earthquake safety actions from planning into practical implementation by providing direct assistance that helps states carry out eligible preparedness, mitigation, and risk-reduction activities that improve resilience in communities that face meaningful seismic hazards.
This particular funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-12-MT-082-005-99) was posted on August 24, 2012, created on August 29, 2012, and had an application deadline of September 7, 2012, with an archive date of October 7, 2012. It is classified as a discretionary award and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally indicates FEMA expects substantial involvement with awardees during the period of performance (for example, collaboration on project scope, technical guidance, reporting, or implementation oversight). The activity category is Disaster Prevention and Relief, and it is associated with CFDA 97.082 (Earthquake Consortium). The opportunity included a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the supported activities in accordance with the program rules.
The estimated total funding available under this announcement was $1,114,533. The notice lists an award ceiling and award floor as $0, which typically signals that the announcement did not set fixed per-award minimums or maximums in the summary fields and that actual award sizes would be determined through FEMA's review, negotiation, and the final allocation strategy for eligible applicants. Because this is a state assistance program, the funding is aimed at enabling state-level programs to support actions that can be carried out directly by the state or in partnership with local jurisdictions, with the stated emphasis on increasing and enhancing effective earthquake risk reduction implementation at the local level.
Eligibility for this opportunity was restricted to a specified list of states and territories rather than being open nationwide. The eligible jurisdictions listed were New York, Puerto Rico, Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Arkansas, Missouri, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Alaska, Washington, and Oregon. The announcement indicates "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)" in the summary, but the eligibility information provided clearly limits applications to those named jurisdictions. In practice, programs like this typically focus on areas with notable seismic risk, including both high-frequency earthquake regions and areas with significant consequence risk due to vulnerable building stock, critical infrastructure exposure, or known seismic zones.
The administering agency is FEMA, with the announcement referencing Region 5 in the source data. For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed program contact was Claudette Fernandez, NEHRP/Earthquake State Assistance Program Manager (Lead), Building Science Branch, Risk Reduction Division, DHS/FEMA Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, reachable at Claudette.fernandez@fema.dhs.gov.
