Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 16 GPD 042 01 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for Region 1 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen day-to-day emergency management capability across all hazards. The program provides federal funding to states so they can support and improve emergency management programs that, in turn, help local, territorial, and tribal partners prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate disasters and emergencies. The underlying idea is shared responsibility: emergency preparedness is not solely a federal function or a local function, but a joint effort where the federal government offers funding, coordination, guidance, and technical support while states and their subdivisions build and maintain operational readiness.
This funding is grounded in major federal authorities, including Section 662 of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. In particular, Title VI of the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to provide grants that support a national system of emergency preparedness aimed at protecting life and property in the United States. Through EMPG, FEMA helps states maintain a comprehensive, all-hazards preparedness system by supporting planning, organization, training, exercises, and other capabilities that make emergency management programs work in practice, not just on paper.
For FY 2016, the program emphasis is closely tied to the National Preparedness Goal and its mission areas and core capabilities. In practical terms, that means the funding is intended to help emergency management agencies develop and sustain the capacities that contribute to national preparedness outcomes, such as coordination, communications, resource management, operational planning, and other core functions that cut across disaster types. The opportunity also aligns with the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review mission area focused on strengthening national preparedness and resilience, reinforcing the expectation that award funds support measurable improvements in readiness and the ability to manage complex incidents.
