Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 MT 082 05 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Individual State Earthquake Assistance - Region 5 opportunity is a FEMA-led, Department of Homeland Security discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement. Its overall purpose is to reduce earthquake-related losses in the United States by supporting practical, results-oriented work tied to earthquake science, engineering, and implementation activities that improve real-world readiness. The program is positioned as part of a broader federal approach to preparedness and resilience, aligning with national policy priorities around mitigation and disaster readiness.
At its core, the funding is meant to help states strengthen seismic safety and increase public and institutional awareness of earthquake risk in measurable ways. FEMA emphasizes that funded projects must be consistent with NEHRP's vision, mission, and goals, as well as FEMA's specific program responsibilities under NEHRP (referenced in the notice as Appendix C of the NOFO). In other words, the money is not intended for general emergency management needs; it is for earthquake-focused initiatives that can show clear outcomes, such as improved risk understanding, better mitigation practices, stronger coordination, or other tangible steps that move the needle on earthquake preparedness and safety.
This opportunity is not open to everyone. Eligibility is limited to state governments, and participation in the NEHRP State Assistance program is restricted to states and territories that FEMA has determined to be at high to very high earthquake risk. On top of that, applicants generally must be able to meet a statutory 25 percent non-federal cost share requirement, meaning the recipient must contribute matching resources equal to a quarter of the total project cost. An important exception is noted for insular areas, specifically Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which are exempt from the cost share requirement if otherwise eligible.
For Region 5 under this FY 2020 notice, FEMA anticipated making two awards, with an award ceiling of $47,246. The relatively modest ceiling suggests this is designed for targeted state-level projects rather than large-scale construction or major capital improvements. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial federal involvement beyond a standard pass-through grant, typically meaning closer coordination with FEMA on planning, execution, reporting, and ensuring the work stays aligned with NEHRP objectives.
Administratively, the opportunity was listed under funding opportunity number DHS 20 MT 082 05 01, under CFDA 97.082, with a creation date of May 26, 2020 and an original application closing date of June 25, 2020. The activity category is listed as "Other," reflecting that the supported work can span multiple types of earthquake risk reduction activities, as long as the project fits FEMA's NEHRP scope and produces measurable enhancements in seismic safety and earthquake risk awareness.Apply for DHS 20 MT 082 05 01
