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 efforts, especially at the local level. It sits under FEMA's National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), which is rooted in the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-124) and reinforced by the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-360). The core purpose is straightforward: reduce future earthquake losses in the United States by supporting an effective, sustained earthquake safety and mitigation program that protects both people and property. Congress specifically directed FEMA to provide direct assistance to states for eligible earthquake-related safety and mitigation activities, and this funding opportunity reflects that mandate by helping states implement and expand practical risk-reduction actions where they are most often carried out, at the community and local government level.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary funding program using a cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work (such as coordination, technical input, or program oversight) rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal interaction. The funding activity category is listed as Disaster Prevention and Relief, and it is associated with CFDA number 97.082 (Earthquake Consortium). The total estimated funding available was $1,114,533. The notice lists an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which generally indicates that individual award amounts were not specified in the summary field and would instead be determined through the full announcement, applicant scope, or negotiated budgets. Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning recipients needed to contribute non-federal resources toward the project costs in accordance with the program rules described in the full solicitation.
Eligibility was limited to a defined set of states and territories identified in the announcement, rather than being open nationwide. The restricted list included 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 opportunity category noted "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the practical effect of the listing provided is that only the named jurisdictions could apply under this particular competition. The administering entity is FEMA (listed under Region 10 in the source data), and the program contact provided for assistance 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.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on August 24, 2012, created on August 29, 2012, and had an application deadline of September 7, 2012, with the archive date listed as October 7, 2012. Overall, the program can be understood as FEMA's mechanism for directly resourcing selected state and territorial partners to carry out earthquake mitigation and safety initiatives consistent with NEHRP goals, with an emphasis on improving how earthquake risk reduction is implemented and sustained at the local level through targeted, cost-shared support and close coordination with FEMA.
