Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 MT 082 03 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Earthquake Direct State Assistance (EDSA) - Region 3 opportunity is a FEMA-administered cooperative agreement designed to reduce earthquake-related losses in the United States by helping states turn earthquake science and engineering research into practical actions. The program sits under the broader NEHRP framework, which focuses on mitigation through both foundational and applied work, and it aligns with national resilience goals, including the Presidential Policy Directive on National Preparedness (PPD-8). It also supports FEMA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan, particularly the push to build a culture of preparedness and to improve readiness for catastrophic disasters.
This funding emphasizes implementation, not just study, meaning it is aimed at activities that help communities, agencies, and professionals apply known best practices to real buildings, infrastructure, and preparedness systems. The priorities highlighted in the notice reflect a strong focus on strengthening how buildings and infrastructure are designed, built, evaluated, and improved for seismic safety. A central priority is supporting the adoption and effective use of model building codes and national consensus standards so that proven research findings actually show up in day-to-day construction and retrofit decisions. Another major area is the development and maintenance of seismic-resistant design and construction guidance and tools, which can include publications, software tools, and training resources for both new construction and existing structures. This also includes work tied to performance-based seismic design guidelines, which are intended to set clearer expectations for how structures should perform under earthquake conditions rather than relying only on prescriptive rules.
Beyond technical guidance, the opportunity also supports program implementation and outreach, which can cover public awareness campaigns, media efforts, articles, and other initiatives that increase earthquake risk awareness and motivate action. It additionally encourages multi-state coordination through consortia and partnerships, reflecting the reality that earthquake risk regions and built-environment supply chains often cross state lines. Direct support for state earthquake programs is another explicit priority, reinforcing that state agencies play a key role in sustaining mitigation capability, coordinating stakeholders, and embedding seismic resilience into planning and policy.
The notice also recognizes the need for disaster-related technical support. It allows for activities such as providing subject matter expertise and participating in post-event studies in line with FEMA's Disaster Response Framework and the Earthquake Incident Annex, as well as other applicable policies. Another important emphasis is on standards for critical lifelines infrastructure, which generally refers to essential systems like transportation, water, energy, and communications that need to remain functional or be quickly restored after an earthquake to protect life and support recovery.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA, offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expects substantial involvement or collaboration during the period of performance compared with a standard grant. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number listed is 97.082. Eligibility is limited to state governments, and for this specific Region 3 opportunity, FEMA anticipated a single award. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $30,000. The opportunity was created on May 2, 2019, with an original application closing date of June 3, 2019. For specific allowable activities and detailed requirements, the notice directs applicants to Appendix C of the Earthquake Direct State Assistance (EDSA) Notice of Funding Opportunity, which is where FEMA typically spells out what costs, deliverables, and project types are permitted under the program objectives.Apply for DHS 19 MT 082 03 01
