Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 National Incident Management System (NIMS) | DHS 22 NPD 107 00 01

Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 22 NPD 107 00 01

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 National Incident Management System (NIMS) cooperative agreement is a FEMA discretionary funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to support the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). EMAC is a Congressionally ratified mutual aid agreement (Public Law 104-321) that enables states and territories to assist one another when a governor declares an emergency or disaster. The compact is intentionally broad in scope, covering incidents tied to natural disasters, technological hazards, man-made disasters, civil emergencies, resource shortages, community disorder, insurgency, or enemy attack. All 50 states participate, along with the District of Columbia and U.S. territories including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. While the federal government supports EMAC in doctrine and funding, it does not run or manage EMAC, preserving the compact as a state-driven mutual aid system.

The central aim of this cooperative agreement is to strengthen EMACs ability to rapidly move resources across jurisdictional lines to stabilize community lifelines immediately after an incident. EMACs established relationships with states, regions, territories, and key federal partners such as FEMA and the National Guard Bureau allow it to coordinate the deployment of a wide range of assistance. In practical terms, that assistance can include sending personnel, equipment, and commodities from one state to another to bolster disaster relief operations when local or state capacity is overwhelmed. The funding specifically supports the ongoing development and maintenance of consistent processes for how resources are requested, dispatched, used, and returned, which is critical for accountability, speed, and interoperability during response and recovery.

A major emphasis of the FY 2022 NIMS award is improving multi-jurisdictional and interstate regional coordination mechanisms for incident management during large-scale, complex, or catastrophic events. By reinforcing a standardized system for mutual aid and resource management, the program aims to ensure help can be obtained quickly and integrated smoothly into local operations, especially in the early, high-impact period after an incident when stabilizing essential services is most urgent. This effort is directly tied to building and sustaining core emergency management capabilities and advancing the National Preparedness Goal, with the broader intended outcome of a more secure and resilient nation.
