Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 GPD 111 05 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) for Region 5 is a discretionary grant offered through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered by FEMA, to help state and local governments strengthen their ability to plan for, coordinate around, and manage truly large-scale disasters. The program is funded under the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260) and is designed to support practical work that closes known preparedness and response capability gaps, pushes regions to develop innovative solutions to shared catastrophic risks, and builds on any existing regional preparedness initiatives already underway.
At its core, the RCPGP is about improving and expanding regional collaboration so that neighboring jurisdictions are not planning in isolation for events that would overwhelm any single city, county, or state. The program uses the National Response Framework (4th edition, 2019) definition of a catastrophic incident, meaning any natural or human-caused event (including terrorism) that produces extraordinary levels of mass casualties, widespread damage, or severe disruption. These incidents can profoundly affect people, critical infrastructure, the environment, local and regional economies, national morale, and basic government functions. Because of that scale, the opportunity emphasizes that prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery all depend on a cohesive regional approach to catastrophic planning rather than disconnected, jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction efforts.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 21 GPD 111 05 01) is categorized under Disaster Prevention and Relief and is offered as a grant (as opposed to a cooperative agreement or contract). Eligible applicants are units of government, specifically state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. The listing is associated with CFDA number 97.111. The grant is intended to support regional preparedness activities in FEMA Region 5, with an overall program structure that anticipates multiple awards rather than a single large award.
Key logistics for the FY 2021 competition include a posting/creation date of May 20, 2021, and an original application closing date of July 16, 2021. The maximum award amount listed (award ceiling) is $1,200,000, and the program expected to make around 20 awards. In practical terms, that suggests the program is geared toward funding a portfolio of regional projects that collectively strengthen catastrophic incident readiness across the region, rather than concentrating resources into one or two recipients.
In summary, the FY 2021 RCPGP Region 5 grant is a FEMA/DHS funding opportunity aimed at helping state and local governments work together across boundaries to prepare for high-impact, low-frequency events that could cripple communities and systems at a regional scale. It prioritizes collaboration, gap-closing investments, and innovative regional planning approaches that improve the ability to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from catastrophic incidents.Apply for DHS 21 GPD 111 05 01
