Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 GPD 042 01 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program - Region 1 is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) / Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen all-hazards emergency preparedness. It sits within FEMA's broader preparedness grant portfolio and is intended to help emergency management agencies build and sustain the core capabilities needed to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from a wide range of threats and hazards. In practical terms, this funding supports the people, planning, training, exercises, and coordination activities that keep state and local emergency management programs ready day to day and able to scale during major incidents.
This opportunity aligns directly with FEMA and DHS strategic priorities. It supports the DHS Strategic Plan objective to "Strengthen Preparedness and Resilience" and reflects the FEMA 2018-2022 Strategic Plan's push to unify and further professionalize emergency management nationwide. The program is framed around three FEMA priorities: building a culture of preparedness across communities and partners, readying the nation for catastrophic disasters that stress systems at every level, and reducing complexity in FEMA by promoting clearer, more consistent approaches to preparedness and emergency management. FEMA also emphasizes partnership in this notice, encouraging stakeholders to adopt these priorities and contribute to a more resilient nation.
The funding opportunity is listed under Opportunity Number DHS 21 GPD 042 01 01 and is administered by DHS/FEMA. It is a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) and is categorized under "Other" for the funding activity category, with clarification referenced in the full notice. The associated CFDA number is 97.042, which corresponds to the EMPG program. The posting was created on February 25, 2021, with an original application closing date of May 14, 2021. FEMA anticipated making about 6 awards under this Region 1 opportunity. The notice lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that a single maximum dollar cap is not stated in the summary fields and that actual award amounts are determined by the program's allocation methodology and the detailed guidance in the full funding notice.
Eligibility is shown as "Others," with additional eligibility details deferred to the full announcement. EMPG programs are commonly structured to flow through designated emergency management entities (often state, territorial, tribal, or local emergency management agencies, depending on the specific regional and program setup), but the summary provided here does not spell that out, so applicants would need to rely on the official eligibility section of the complete notice to confirm who can apply within Region 1 and under what conditions.
Overall, the EMPG FY 2021 - Region 1 opportunity is best understood as capacity-building support for emergency management programs. Rather than focusing on a single hazard or a narrow project type, it reinforces the foundational work that makes preparedness sustainable: strengthening coordination across agencies and partners, improving readiness for large-scale disasters, and supporting a more standardized and professional emergency management system consistent with FEMA's strategic direction.Apply for DHS 21 GPD 042 01 01
