Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 MT 082 10 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Direct State Assistance - Region 10 grant opportunity is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding announcement designed to help states reduce earthquake-related losses by strengthening earthquake preparedness, mitigation, and resilience efforts. NEHRP is a long-standing national program focused on lessening the impacts of earthquakes in the United States by supporting both research-driven solutions and practical implementation activities in earthquake science and engineering. In this funding opportunity, the emphasis is on translating proven knowledge into actions that reduce harm to people, damage to buildings and infrastructure, and broader community disruption following a seismic event.
This opportunity aligns with broader national preparedness and resilience priorities, specifically supporting the mitigation goal described in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) and contributing to the "Strengthen National Preparedness and Resilience" mission area highlighted in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review. In practical terms, it is meant to help states sustain an effective earthquake hazards reduction program and apply earthquake risk reduction measures in ways that improve readiness before an event occurs, rather than focusing only on response and recovery afterward.
The stated priority of the program is to reduce risks to life and property from future earthquakes through establishing and maintaining a capable earthquake hazards reduction effort. The objectives reflect a comprehensive approach to mitigation: first, promoting the implementation of research results so that findings from earthquake science and engineering actually get used in policies, planning, codes, and mitigation activities; second, promoting better building practices, which typically includes encouraging modern seismic-resistant design and construction, improving code adoption and enforcement, and supporting retrofitting approaches for existing vulnerable structures; third, providing assistance that improves resilience at the individual, organizational, and community level, recognizing that preparedness and continuity depend not only on buildings but also on people, systems, and institutions; fourth, supporting earthquake education and public awareness efforts, which can include outreach campaigns, training, and public-facing information intended to build knowledge and motivate practical preparedness actions; and fifth, developing ways to coordinate earthquake hazard reduction with other natural and technological hazards through multi-hazard design, so that mitigation investments can provide broader protection and avoid fragmented planning.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement, indicating that FEMA expects to have substantial involvement in the funded activities, such as coordination, oversight, and collaboration during the period of performance. The eligible applicants are state governments, and the funding is tied to the NEHRP assistance listing under CFDA number 97.082. The opportunity is labeled for Region 10 and anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $46,588. The funding opportunity number is DHS 17 MT 082 10 01. The notice was created on July 21, 2017, and the original application closing date was August 27, 2017.
For what applicants can specifically propose and implement, the notice points to Appendix C of the Direct State Assistance Notice of Funding Opportunity for eligible activities supporting the program objectives. That reference suggests FEMA provided a defined menu or framework of allowable project types, likely intended to ensure funded work directly advances earthquake mitigation outcomes consistent with NEHRP goals and federal preparedness policy.Apply for DHS 17 MT 082 10 01
