Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 16 GPD 042 03 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program - Region 3 is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) / FEMA discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen the nation s overall emergency preparedness system by helping states fund and improve all-hazards emergency management capabilities. The core aim is to provide federal resources that state governments can use to support and enhance the work of state, local, territorial, and tribal emergency management agencies as they plan for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate a wide range of threats and hazards. In practical terms, EMPG is meant to reinforce the shared responsibility model for emergency preparedness, where the federal government provides national-level direction, coordination, and support, while states and their political subdivisions carry major responsibility for building and sustaining on-the-ground readiness.
This opportunity is grounded in federal law, including Section 662 of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (6 U.S.C. Section 762) and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. Section 5121 et seq.). FEMA cites Title VI of the Stafford Act as the key authority for making grants that build a system of emergency preparedness focused on protecting life and property in the United States. The program description emphasizes that EMPG funding is intended to support a comprehensive, all-hazards preparedness framework, reflecting the idea that emergency management should be capable of addressing everything from natural disasters to manmade incidents, with consistent planning and operational standards.
A major focus of FY 2016 EMPG is alignment with the National Preparedness Goal, specifically the mission areas and core capabilities tied to that goal. While the notice does not list individual capabilities in the provided text, the intent is clear: funds should help emergency management agencies develop and sustain the capabilities required to meet national preparedness expectations. The program also explicitly supports the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review mission to strengthen national preparedness and resilience, signaling that FEMA expects grantees to use funds in ways that measurably improve readiness, coordination, and the ability to withstand and bounce back from disasters.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as DHS 16 GPD 042 03 01 and is categorized under disaster prevention and relief with CFDA number 97.042. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the eligible applicants are state governments. FEMA anticipated making six awards under this Region 3 posting. The application window reflected an original closing date of March 18, 2016, with the opportunity created on February 16, 2016. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that a specific per-award maximum was not provided in the summarized field and that applicants would need to consult the full funding notice or related allocation guidance for detailed award amounts, formulas, or limits.Apply for DHS 16 GPD 042 03 01
