Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 25 GPD 111 01 99
The Fiscal Year 2025 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) is a discretionary federal grant administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It is funded under the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47) and is positioned as one piece of DHS's broader strategy to strengthen national preparedness. The central idea behind this program is to help states and local communities improve their ability to deal with catastrophic incidents, especially by building stronger regional partnerships and coordinating planning and preparedness efforts across the whole community.
The program's stated purpose is to build and expand state and local capacity to manage large-scale, high-impact disasters by improving regional collaboration. In practical terms, this means the grant is geared toward activities that bring multiple jurisdictions and stakeholders together so they can plan, organize, and align capabilities before a catastrophe occurs. The "whole community" language signals an emphasis on inclusive preparedness, meaning efforts should not be limited to government agencies alone, but should also consider coordination with key partners such as public safety organizations, emergency management agencies, critical infrastructure stakeholders, healthcare and public health systems, nonprofits, and other community partners that would be involved in response and recovery.
From an administrative standpoint, applications must be submitted through FEMA's Grants Outcomes (GO) system, which is FEMA's online portal for managing grant applications and awards. The access point provided for applicants is https://go.fema.gov/. The listing identifies State Administrative Agencies (SAAs) as the applicant channel, which generally means the state-level entity responsible for managing and administering federal preparedness grants is the expected applicant and coordinator for submissions, distribution, and oversight within the state as applicable.
