Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 GPD 042 09 01

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for FEMA Region 9 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered by FEMA, intended to strengthen all-hazards emergency preparedness. The program is framed around the idea that preparedness has to cover a wide range of threats, including the growing and shifting risks tied to climate change. EMPG is positioned as part of a broader set of preparedness measures authorized by Congress and carried out by DHS, and it aligns with the DHS Strategic Plan priority to strengthen preparedness and resilience across communities.

A central theme of this opportunity is alignment with FEMA's 2022-2026 Strategic Plan. Applicants and recipients are encouraged to treat the plan as a practical guide for shaping how grant dollars are used, not just as a high-level policy document. FEMA highlights three major strategic goals that EMPG-funded work should support whenever possible: instilling equity as a foundation of emergency management, leading a whole-of-community approach to climate resilience, and promoting and sustaining a ready FEMA and a prepared nation. In practice, this points applicants toward activities that improve preparedness outcomes across diverse communities, incorporate community partners beyond government alone, and address climate-driven hazards and long-term resilience needs alongside more traditional emergency management capabilities.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 23 GPD 042 09 01 and CFDA 97.042. It is categorized as a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) and marked as a discretionary opportunity. The posting indicates an expected total of nine awards for Region 9. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically means the ceiling is not specified in the summary record and applicants need to rely on the full notice of funding opportunity or related guidance for any funding limits, allocation formulas, match requirements, or budgeting constraints.

Eligibility is labeled as "Others," with the note that additional eligibility details are provided in the full announcement. EMPG programs commonly involve state, territorial, and sometimes local emergency management agencies depending on the specific regional structure and FEMA guidance, but the summary record itself does not spell that out, so prospective applicants would need to confirm exact eligible entities, any pass-through arrangements, and any special Region 9 conditions in the complete program materials.

Key dates included in the listing show the opportunity was created on Feb 27, 2023, with an original application closing date of May 18, 2023. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as FEMA's mechanism for supporting core emergency management capability-building in Region 9, with a strong emphasis on using funding in ways that advance equity, strengthen climate resilience through whole-community partnerships, and sustain broad readiness for increasingly complex disasters.
