Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 GPD 042 09 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program - Region 9 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered through FEMA, focused on strengthening all-hazards emergency preparedness. In practical terms, this funding is meant to help sustain and improve the day-to-day capabilities of emergency management programs so communities can prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from disasters more effectively. The opportunity is positioned as part of a broader set of congressionally authorized preparedness measures that DHS implements nationwide, with the overall intent of improving resilience and readiness across the emergency management system.
A central theme of the opportunity is alignment with DHS and FEMA strategic priorities. The program explicitly supports the DHS Strategic Plan goal of strengthening preparedness and resilience, and it ties directly to the FEMA 2018-2022 Strategic Plan, which emphasizes a shared national vision for emergency management and a push to unify and further professionalize the field. The EMPG program is framed as a mechanism to advance FEMA's priorities of building a culture of preparedness (so individuals, organizations, and governments are better prepared before incidents occur), readying the nation for catastrophic disasters (by strengthening capacity for large-scale, complex events), and reducing the complexity of FEMA (which generally reflects efforts to make FEMA programs easier to navigate and coordinate). The description also encourages stakeholders and partners to adopt these priorities, reinforcing that preparedness is intended to be a whole-community effort rather than a purely government function.
From an administrative standpoint, the grant is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 21 GPD 042 09 01, with CFDA Number 97.042, and it is categorized as a grant funding instrument under a discretionary opportunity. The posting was created on February 25, 2021, with an original application closing date of May 14, 2021. The opportunity anticipates making 9 awards in Region 9. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the provided source data, which typically indicates that the maximum award amount was not specified in that particular listing field (rather than implying that awards have no monetary value). Eligibility is labeled as "Others" with a note to consult additional eligibility details, suggesting that eligible applicants may include specific governmental or emergency management entities defined in the full announcement rather than a broad open applicant pool.
Overall, the FY 2021 EMPG Region 9 opportunity is best understood as operational, capability-building support for emergency management: it is designed to help emergency management organizations maintain and enhance core preparedness functions, align local and regional efforts with FEMA's national preparedness vision, and contribute to a more resilient and professionally integrated emergency management enterprise.Apply for DHS 21 GPD 042 09 01
