Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 MT 082 05 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Earthquake Direct State Assistance (EDSA) - Region 5 opportunity is a FEMA cooperative agreement program under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Its purpose is to reduce deaths, injuries, and economic losses from earthquakes by helping states strengthen real-world mitigation practices that are grounded in earthquake science and engineering research. In plain terms, the program is about moving proven earthquake risk-reduction ideas off the page and into building codes, design tools, public outreach, and state programs, so communities are better prepared before an earthquake happens and better supported right after one occurs.
This opportunity aligns with several major federal preparedness and resilience priorities. It supports the NEHRP mission to mitigate earthquake losses nationwide and connects directly to broader national policy frameworks, including the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review focus on strengthening national preparedness and resilience and the national preparedness goal of mitigation described in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8). It also ties into FEMA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan by advancing Strategic Goal 1 (Build a Culture of Preparedness) and Strategic Goal 2 (Ready the Nation for Catastrophic Disasters). The underlying message is that earthquake readiness is not only a technical issue but a core element of national resilience planning.
The program lists seven priority areas that indicate what FEMA expects funded work to focus on. First, it emphasizes working with model building codes and national consensus standards so that research findings become practical requirements and best practices that engineers, builders, and jurisdictions actually use. Second, it supports developing and maintaining seismic-resistant design and construction guidance and tools, such as publications, software, and training materials, covering both new construction and retrofits of existing buildings, including performance-based seismic design guidelines. Third, it encourages implementation and outreach activities like awareness campaigns, media efforts, articles, and other initiatives that translate technical knowledge into public and professional action. Fourth, it supports multi-state consortia and partnerships, recognizing that seismic risk often crosses state lines and that collaboration can produce consistent approaches and shared resources. Fifth, it provides support for state earthquake programs themselves, which can include strengthening staffing, planning, and the ability to coordinate mitigation strategies statewide. Sixth, it includes disaster support functions such as providing subject matter experts and conducting post-event studies, consistent with FEMA's Disaster Response Framework and the Earthquake Incident Annex, so lessons learned after events can feed back into improved mitigation and design. Seventh, it supports standards for critical lifelines infrastructure, which generally refers to systems like water, power, transportation, and communications that communities depend on and that can drive cascading failures when damaged.
Eligibility for this funding is limited to state governments, and the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expects a more hands-on partnership approach than a standard grant, with federal involvement in coordination, oversight, or technical direction as appropriate. The funding is cataloged under CFDA 97.082 and is categorized as discretionary. For this Region 5 competition, the notice anticipated three awards, with an award ceiling of $33,786, indicating relatively targeted, project-specific support rather than large capital investments. The opportunity was created on May 2, 2019, with an original closing date of June 3, 2019, reflecting a short application window typical of many federal program announcements.
Applicants were directed to consult Appendix C of the EDSA Notice of Funding Opportunity for detailed guidance on allowable activities. That reference signals that while the priorities describe the main themes, the appendix is where states would find the specific list of eligible costs, deliverables, and project types FEMA would consider appropriate under NEHRP and EDSA. Overall, the grant is best understood as a practical implementation and capacity-building vehicle for states in Region 5 to advance earthquake mitigation through codes, tools, training, partnerships, state program support, lifeline standards, and post-disaster technical learning.Apply for DHS 19 MT 082 05 01
