Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 MT 082 07 01

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Earthquake Direct State Assistance (EDSA) grant for Region 7 is a FEMA-funded opportunity intended to reduce earthquake-related losses in the United States by helping states translate earthquake science and engineering research into practical actions. The program sits within the broader NEHRP mission, which emphasizes both research and real-world implementation to strengthen national preparedness and resilience. It is also framed as supporting federal preparedness policy (including the mitigation goal referenced in Presidential Policy Directive 8) and aligns with FEMA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan, particularly the goals focused on building a culture of preparedness and readying the nation for catastrophic disasters.

This funding is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expects to have an active role in guiding or collaborating on the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal involvement. The eligible applicants are state governments only, and the opportunity anticipates a single award for Region 7. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the program is 97.082, and the funding opportunity is administered by the Department of Homeland Security through FEMA.

The core purpose of the award is to support earthquake risk reduction through a set of defined NEHRP priorities that emphasize implementation, tools, partnerships, and readiness. One major focus is working with model building codes and nationally recognized consensus standards so that the latest research and best practices are reflected in the rules and standards that shape how buildings and infrastructure are designed and built. Another priority is developing and maintaining seismic-resistant design and construction guidance and tools, which can include publications, software, and training resources for both new construction and retrofits of existing structures. This includes work connected to performance-based seismic design guidance, which is aimed at designing buildings to meet specific performance objectives during earthquakes rather than relying only on prescriptive minimums.

The program also places significant emphasis on outreach and practical program implementation. That can include public awareness campaigns, media and communications efforts, articles and informational materials, and other initiatives meant to increase understanding of earthquake risk and encourage mitigation actions among communities, professionals, and decision-makers. In addition, FEMA highlights support for multi-state consortia and partnerships, recognizing that earthquake risks and mitigation solutions often cross state lines and benefit from regional coordination. Relatedly, the program supports state earthquake programs directly, reinforcing a state's internal capacity to manage earthquake-related mitigation, planning, and coordination efforts.

Another key element is disaster support capacity tied to earthquake response and recovery. The opportunity notes support for subject matter experts and post-event studies, carried out in accordance with FEMA's Disaster Response Framework and the Earthquake Incident Annex, along with other applicable policies. This reflects the idea that effective mitigation and improved future resilience often depend on capturing lessons learned and technical observations following damaging events. Finally, the priorities include strengthening standards for critical lifelines infrastructure, which generally refers to systems like transportation, utilities, water, communications, and other essential services that need to remain functional or be rapidly restored after an earthquake.

Administratively, the opportunity was posted May 2, 2019, with an application closing date of June 3, 2019. The listed award ceiling is $34,319, and FEMA expected to make one award under this specific Region 7 opportunity. For detailed rules on what specific activities and costs are allowed under the program, FEMA directs applicants to Appendix C of the Earthquake Direct State Assistance (EDSA) Notice of Funding Opportunity, which serves as the definitive source for allowable activities tied to NEHRP objectives.
