Opportunity Summary:
The NEHRP Earthquake State Assistance grant opportunity is a FEMA-funded cooperative agreement designed to help selected states and territories strengthen earthquake risk reduction and mitigation at the state and local level. It sits under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), a federal effort grounded in the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 (P.L. 95-124) and reinforced by the NEHRP Reauthorization Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-360). The central purpose of the program is to reduce the risk to life and property from future earthquakes by supporting practical activities that improve earthquake safety, preparedness, and mitigation outcomes in communities. FEMA is required under the 2004 reauthorization to operate a direct assistance program for states, and this funding opportunity reflects that mandate by providing resources intended to translate earthquake risk reduction goals into on-the-ground implementation.
This particular announcement (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-12-MT-082-007-99) was issued as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, which generally means FEMA expects to have substantial involvement in the work during the period of performance (for example, coordination, technical input, or oversight beyond what is typical for a standard grant). The program is categorized under Disaster Prevention and Relief and is associated with CFDA 97.082, labeled Earthquake Consortium. The total estimated funding available under the announcement is $1,114,533. The published award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0, which usually indicates that the specific per-award amounts were not set in the synopsis and applicants needed to consult the full announcement for details on allowable budgets, anticipated award sizes, and how FEMA planned to distribute funds across recipients.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is not open nationwide. Eligibility is restricted to a defined list of states and territories: 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. While the summary field labels eligible applicants as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the controlling limitation is that only those named jurisdictions can apply under this notice. The program’s intent, as stated, is to increase and enhance effective earthquake risk reduction implementation at the local level, so the expectation is that funded work would support state-led efforts that drive improvements in local planning, mitigation practices, and earthquake safety activities consistent with NEHRP goals.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on Aug 24, 2012, created on Aug 29, 2012, and had an original and current closing date of Sep 7, 2012, with the archive date listed as Oct 7, 2012. The agency is identified as FEMA (listed under "Region 7" in the synopsis), and the program contact provided for access issues or announcement questions was Claudette Fernandez, the NEHRP/Earthquake State Assistance Program Manager (Lead) in FEMA’s Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Building Science Branch, Risk Reduction Division, reachable at Claudette.fernandez@fema.dhs.gov.
