Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 GPD 042 07 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program - Region 7 is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA grant opportunity designed to strengthen all-hazards emergency preparedness. EMPG is positioned as a core part of FEMA's broader approach to national preparedness and resilience, reflecting Congressional authorization and DHS implementation of programs that help communities plan for, respond to, and recover from disasters and emergencies of many types. In practical terms, the program is meant to support and professionalize emergency management capabilities, helping recipients sustain and improve the day-to-day systems that are needed before, during, and after incidents.
This opportunity is directly tied to major federal strategic priorities. It aligns with the DHS Strategic Plan priority to "Strengthen Preparedness and Resilience" and supports the FEMA Strategic Plan (2018-2022), which emphasizes a shared national vision for emergency management and a push to unify and further professionalize the field across the country. The EMPG program specifically highlights FEMA's goals of building a culture of preparedness (encouraging readiness across government and communities), readying the nation for catastrophic disasters (improving capacity for large-scale events), and reducing the complexity of FEMA (making programs and systems easier to navigate and implement). FEMA also frames EMPG as a partnership-driven effort, encouraging stakeholders and partners to adopt these priorities to help build a more prepared and resilient nation.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant (not a formula entitlement listed here as automatic), with the funding instrument type identified as a grant. The opportunity number is DHS-21-GPD-042-07-01, and it is associated with CFDA number 97.042 (EMPG). The posting lists an expected number of four awards for the Region 7 competition/portfolio. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates that the ceiling was not specified in the summary field or may be determined through other program guidance rather than a single published cap in the synopsis.
Key timeline details included in the notice show the opportunity was created on February 25, 2021, with an original application closing date of May 14, 2021. The eligible applicants field is labeled "Others," with a note to consult additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification, meaning that applicants would need to review the official grant guidance to confirm exactly which entities in Region 7 are eligible to apply (for example, specific state, local, tribal, territorial, or designated emergency management organizations, depending on FEMA's rules for that year and region).
Overall, the FY 2021 EMPG - Region 7 opportunity is best understood as a preparedness-focused FEMA grant intended to maintain and enhance emergency management programs and capabilities under an all-hazards framework, while reinforcing the federal government's strategic emphasis on resilience, catastrophic disaster readiness, and a more unified, professional emergency management system nationwide.Apply for DHS 21 GPD 042 07 01
