Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 MT 082 05 99
Fiscal Year 2023 Individual State Earthquake Assistance (ISEA) - Region 5 is a discretionary FEMA grant offered under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). The core purpose of this opportunity is to reduce earthquake-related losses in the United States by supporting practical, implementation-focused activities that improve seismic safety and increase earthquake risk awareness. NEHRP is a coordinated federal effort that brings together FEMA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the National Science Foundation (NSF), combining research, engineering, and applied preparedness work so that states can translate earthquake science into real-world risk reduction.
The program is designed to align with major federal preparedness and resilience priorities. It supports the Department of Homeland Security strategic mission area focused on strengthening preparedness and resilience (FY 2020-2024 DHS Strategic Plan) and advances the national preparedness goal of mitigation as outlined in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8). It also ties directly to the FEMA 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, specifically by contributing to Strategic Goal 3, which emphasizes promoting and sustaining a ready FEMA and a prepared nation. In plain terms, the grant is meant to help states do the on-the-ground work that makes communities safer before earthquakes happen, rather than focusing on response after damage occurs.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and participation is restricted to states and territories that FEMA has determined face a high to very high earthquake risk. In addition, most applicants must meet a statutory cost-share requirement: 25 percent of the project cost must come from non-federal sources. An important exception is provided for insular areas, where the cost share does not apply to otherwise eligible territories such as Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The funded activities must follow the NEHRP vision, mission, goals, and FEMA program responsibilities as described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (including referenced appendices), and the expectation is that projects will produce measurable improvements in national seismic safety and earthquake risk awareness.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number DHS-23-MT-082-05-99 and CFDA number 97.082. The award ceiling listed for this Region 5 opportunity is $62,496.
