Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 MT 082 04 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Individual State Earthquake Assistance - Region 4 opportunity is a FEMA-administered grant under the Department of Homeland Security designed to reduce earthquake-related losses in the United States. It supports a mix of practical implementation work and applied efforts connected to earthquake science and engineering, with the overall intent of improving seismic safety and increasing public and institutional awareness of earthquake risk. The program is framed around national preparedness and resilience priorities, aligning with the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review focus on strengthening preparedness and resilience, the mitigation emphasis in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8), and FEMA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan goals related to building a culture of preparedness and readying the nation for catastrophic disasters. In simple terms, FEMA is using this funding to help at-risk jurisdictions take concrete steps that measurably improve earthquake readiness and risk reduction.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity and the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means FEMA expects an active partnership with recipients during the period of performance rather than a hands-off pass-through of funds. The listing is associated with CFDA number 97.082, and eligibility is limited to state governments. Participation is further restricted to states and territories that FEMA has determined face a high to very high earthquake risk, meaning not every state can apply, even if it is within the geographic label of Region 4. In addition, eligible applicants must be able to meet the statutory 25 percent non-federal cost share requirement. An important exception applies to certain territories classified as insular areas (Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), which are not subject to the cost share requirement if they are otherwise eligible.
The activities proposed under this grant must be consistent with the NEHRP Vision, Mission, Goals, and FEMA Program Responsibilities as laid out in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (referenced as Appendix C in the NOFO). While the summary text does not list specific allowable projects, it clearly emphasizes that funded work must lead to a measurable enhancement of national seismic safety and earthquake risk awareness. That emphasis on measurable outcomes signals that applicants are expected to define clear deliverables and results, such as improved capabilities, better-informed risk communication, enhanced mitigation planning, or other demonstrable improvements tied to earthquake preparedness and resilience.
Key administrative details include the opportunity number DHS 20 MT 082 04 01, with an initial posting/creation date of May 26, 2020 and an original application closing date of June 25, 2020. The expected number of awards is five, and the award ceiling is $54,034, indicating relatively modest, targeted funding intended to support state-level earthquake risk reduction activities rather than large-scale infrastructure projects.Apply for DHS 20 MT 082 04 01
