Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 GPD 042 02 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program - Region 2 is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designed to strengthen all-hazards emergency preparedness. In practical terms, the program is meant to help emergency management agencies and partners improve how they prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from a wide range of threats and hazards, not just a single disaster type. EMPG is positioned as part of DHS and FEMA's broader, congressionally authorized preparedness framework, and it reflects the idea that readiness is built through sustained capability development, coordination, planning, training, and exercise programs.
This opportunity explicitly aligns with DHS and FEMA strategic priorities. It supports the DHS mission priority described in the 2018 DHS Quadrennial Homeland Security Review to "Strengthen National Preparedness and Resilience." It also ties directly to the FEMA Strategic Plan for 2018-2022, which emphasizes creating a shared national approach to emergency management and further professionalizing the field. Within that strategy, EMPG is presented as a key tool for advancing two major FEMA priorities: "Building a Culture of Preparedness" and "Readying the Nation for Catastrophic Disasters." The underlying message is that preparedness is a whole-community effort, and FEMA is encouraging stakeholders and partners to adopt these same priorities to help build more resilient communities.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant (as opposed to an entitlement), offered under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 20 GPD 042 02 01 and cataloged under CFDA 97.042. The posting lists the agency as DHS/FEMA and indicates it is specific to Region 2. The opportunity was created on February 14, 2020, with an original application closing date of April 15, 2020. FEMA anticipated making about five awards under this posting. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates that a maximum award amount was not specified in the summary field of the source data and may instead be defined in the full notice, guidance, or by formula-based allocations associated with EMPG.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with the note that additional eligibility details are provided elsewhere in the full opportunity materials. That means the summarized record does not fully spell out which types of organizations can apply, and applicants would normally need to consult the detailed eligibility section in the official notice to confirm whether they qualify. Overall, the program is framed as a preparedness and capability-building investment intended to improve emergency management readiness and resilience across jurisdictions, consistent with FEMA's national preparedness goals and its push for stronger, more professional emergency management practices.Apply for DHS 20 GPD 042 02 01
