Description

The nation's ability to address emergent threats is rooted in the strength of its emergency management workforce, partnership and interconnectivity. This interconnectivity includes the necessity to better integrate across federal agencies and with non-federal partners to quickly assess, adapt, surge, and respond to a wide range of threats and hazards. In support of the National Preparedness Goal, State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) recipients must belong to, be in, or act as a temporary member of the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), except for American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not required to belong to EMAC at this time. The Emergency Management Assistance Compact was ratified by the U.S. Congress (P.L. 104-321).

EMAC signatories include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The federal government doctrinally and financially supports EMAC but does not manage it. EMAC's unique relationships with states, regions, territories, and federal organizations, such as FEMA and the National Guard Bureau, enable it to move a wide variety of resources to stabilize community lifelines immediately after an incident. Among other things, EMAC assists states in sending personnel, equipment, and commodities to support disaster relief efforts in other states.

Applicants can submit applications for this funding opportunity through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO). Access the system at https://go.fema.gov/

Background
The Fiscal Year 2025 National Incident Management System (NIMS) Cooperative Agreement is issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This grant aims to support the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), which facilitates mutual assistance among states during emergencies and disasters.

The program is designed to enhance the nation's emergency management capabilities by fostering interconnectivity and collaboration across federal and non-federal partners, thereby improving the response to various threats and hazards.

Grant Details
The NIMS Cooperative Agreement supports several key tasks: participation in National Level Exercises, technical assistance engagements, maintaining a mutual aid inventory of Mission Ready Packages, conducting data analysis for core capabilities that stabilize community lifelines, supporting state emergency management agencies in implementing EMAC and other mutual aid activities, and enhancing interoperability and collaboration within the EMAC Operations System.

The program also emphasizes continual improvement based on after-action reviews and engagement with FEMA to align with national mutual aid doctrine.

Eligibility Requirements
Eligible applicants include only the administrator of EMAC as the sole recipient of the NIMS Cooperative Agreement. Subapplicants are allowed if they have responsibility for administering EMAC but must not include foreign nationals or noncitizens unless properly vetted. Applicants must certify compliance with federal statutes, DHS directives, policies, and procedures.

Period of Performance
The projected period of performance for this grant is from September 4, 2025, to September 3, 2026.

Grant Value
$2,250,000.00 total funding available with one anticipated award at this amount.
