Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 18 GPD 042 03 01

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program - Region 3 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered through FEMA, focused on strengthening a comprehensive, all-hazards emergency preparedness system. The core purpose of the program is to help protect life and property across the United States by supporting the shared responsibility for preparedness among the federal government, state governments, and their political subdivisions. In practical terms, EMPG is designed to reinforce the idea that preparedness is not owned by a single level of government; instead, it is built through coordinated planning, capability development, and operational readiness across jurisdictions.

Under this opportunity, FEMA provides more than just funding. The program description emphasizes federal direction, coordination, and guidance alongside necessary assistance to support state-led emergency management systems. The intent is to help jurisdictions build and sustain capabilities that can be applied to a wide range of threats and hazards, rather than focusing narrowly on a single disaster type. This all-hazards framing typically covers natural disasters, technological incidents, and human-caused events, with the expectation that emergency management programs are able to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from incidents using an integrated approach.

This specific notice applies to Region 3 and is limited in eligibility to state governments. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 97.042 and is categorized under Disaster Prevention and Relief. The funding instrument is a grant. The posting was created on May 21, 2018, with an original application closing date of June 20, 2018. FEMA anticipated making about six awards under this regional posting. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually indicates that the ceiling was not specified in the summary field and may have been defined elsewhere in the full notice or tied to formula-based allocations, state-by-state amounts, or other program guidance rather than a single uniform cap.
