Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 MT 082 02 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Earthquake Direct State Assistance (EDSA) opportunity for Region 2 is a FEMA-led funding program under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to reduce earthquake-related losses in the United States. It supports work that turns earthquake science and engineering research into practical actions, policies, and tools that improve how communities plan for, design for, and recover from earthquakes. The grant aligns with broader national preparedness and resilience priorities, including the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review focus on strengthening preparedness and resilience, the mitigation core goal outlined under Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8), and FEMA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan goals to build a culture of preparedness and to ready the nation for catastrophic disasters.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expects an active partnership role with recipients rather than a hands-off pass-through. The eligible applicants are state governments only, and the program is cataloged under CFDA 97.082. The funding opportunity number is DHS 19 MT 082 02 01. The announcement was created on May 02, 2019, with an original application deadline of Jun 03, 2019. FEMA anticipated making two awards under this Region 2 opportunity, with an award ceiling of $43,040 per award.
The program priorities center on strengthening earthquake risk reduction through codes, standards, guidance, outreach, and coordinated implementation. One major focus is working with model building codes and nationally recognized consensus standards to help ensure that research findings actually make their way into the rules and practices used in real-world construction and retrofits. Another key priority is developing and maintaining seismic-resistant design and construction guidance and tools, including books, software, and training resources that can be used for both new and existing buildings. This also includes support for performance-based seismic design guidelines, which aim to set clear, outcome-focused performance targets for structures during earthquakes rather than relying only on prescriptive requirements.
A significant portion of the effort is also geared toward program implementation and outreach. That includes public awareness campaigns, media and communications products, and educational initiatives that help decision-makers, professionals, and the public understand earthquake risks and the steps that reduce harm. The opportunity also encourages collaboration through support for multi-state consortia and partnerships, recognizing that seismic risk and mitigation best practices often cross state boundaries and benefit from shared planning, training, and coordination.
In addition to these broader objectives, the EDSA program explicitly supports the ongoing work of state earthquake programs themselves, reinforcing state capacity to plan and implement mitigation activities. It also includes a disaster support component, such as providing subject matter expertise and supporting post-event studies consistent with FEMA's Disaster Response Framework and the Earthquake Incident Annex, along with any other relevant policies. Finally, it prioritizes advancing standards for critical lifelines infrastructure, emphasizing systems that communities depend on during and after disasters (for example, utilities, transportation, and other essential networks) so that they are more resilient and can be restored more quickly.
Applicants are directed to consult Appendix C of the EDSA Notice of Funding Opportunity for the detailed list of allowable activities tied to NEHRP objectives. In practice, that appendix is where states would confirm which specific tasks, deliverables, and cost categories FEMA will support under this cooperative agreement, ensuring proposals are tightly aligned with the program's intended outcomes.Apply for DHS 19 MT 082 02 01
