Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 GPD 042 06 01

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for FEMA Region 6 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is designed to strengthen all-hazards emergency preparedness, with explicit attention to evolving risks, including those connected to climate change. EMPG sits within a broader set of preparedness and resilience programs authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS, and it aligns with the DHS Strategic Plan priority of strengthening preparedness and resilience across the nation.

A central theme of this opportunity is alignment with FEMA's 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, which sets out three major agency-wide goals that applicants are encouraged to incorporate into how they plan, justify, and use EMPG funds. Those goals are: instilling equity as a foundation of emergency management, leading the whole community in climate resilience, and promoting and sustaining a ready FEMA and a prepared nation. In practice, this means FEMA expects applicants and recipients to think beyond traditional emergency management capacity building and show how their proposed activities support equitable outcomes, involve whole-community partners, and improve readiness for a wider range of more complex disasters.

The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 23 GPD 042 06 01 and CFDA number 97.042, with the funding instrument identified as a grant. The posting indicates an expected five awards for Region 6. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the source data, which typically signals that the ceiling is not specified in that field or may be determined through program guidance and allocation formulas rather than a single published maximum. The activity category is labeled as "Other," with the implication that the official program materials provide further clarification on the specific types of activities supported.

Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with direction to consult the detailed eligibility language in the full announcement. As with many FEMA preparedness grants, this often means eligibility is limited to certain governmental emergency management entities or designated recipients, but the exact eligible applicant types for this Region 6 competition are defined in the official notice rather than in the short summary record. The opportunity was created on February 27, 2023, and the original application closing date was May 18, 2023, setting the window for submission during that period.

Overall, the EMPG Region 6 opportunity is framed as a capacity-building grant meant to help emergency management organizations improve preparedness and resilience in a way that matches FEMA's current strategic direction. Applicants are encouraged to use FY23 funding to support their state or territory specific needs while also addressing whole-community priorities, including equity considerations and climate resilience as core components of modern emergency management.
