Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 GPD 042 04 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program for Region 4 is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is part of FEMA's broader, congressionally authorized approach to strengthening all-hazards emergency preparedness nationwide, with explicit recognition that threats and risks are changing over time, including those connected to climate change. The program is designed to help emergency management partners build and sustain core capabilities that improve preparedness, response readiness, and overall resilience across communities.
This opportunity is framed around FEMA and DHS strategic priorities. In the DHS Strategic Plan, EMPG supports the objective of strengthening preparedness and resilience. It also aligns closely with the FEMA 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, which sets three agency-wide goals meant to reflect the current reality of emergency management: instilling equity as a foundation of emergency management, leading the whole community in climate resilience, and promoting and sustaining a ready FEMA and a prepared nation. Applicants and recipients are encouraged to treat these priorities as more than background language and to think deliberately about how their proposed use of FY23 EMPG funding will advance these goals in ways that match state, territorial, and local needs while also benefiting the broader "whole community," meaning government, nonprofits, the private sector, and residents.
From the grant listing details, the funding opportunity title is "Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Emergency Management Performance Grant Program - Region 4" and the opportunity number is DHS 23 GPD 042 04 01. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 97.042. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is labeled as "Other," indicating the specific set of allowable activities is explained in the full program guidance rather than fitting neatly into a single standard category. The posting shows an expected eight awards for Region 4. The listing does not specify an award ceiling (it is shown as 0), which typically means the ceiling is either not set in the announcement record itself or is defined elsewhere in the full notice and accompanying guidance.
Eligibility is marked as "Others," with the note that additional eligibility detail is provided in the full eligibility section of the opportunity. In practice for EMPG, eligibility commonly centers on state- and territory-level emergency management agencies and their designated recipients, but the posted summary is signaling that applicants should rely on the official eligibility language in the complete notice for Region 4 rather than assuming based on general program familiarity. The opportunity was created on February 27, 2023, and the original application closing date was May 18, 2023.
Overall, the core message of this grant opportunity is that FEMA is seeking to fund work that measurably strengthens emergency management systems and capabilities under an all-hazards approach, while pushing recipients to incorporate equity and climate resilience considerations and to build readiness in a way that reflects current and emerging disaster complexity. The program encourages jurisdictions and partners to use EMPG dollars strategically, tying investments to clear preparedness outcomes that support both local priorities and FEMA's longer-term national resilience agenda.Apply for DHS 23 GPD 042 04 01
