Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 MT 082 01 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Earthquake Direct State Assistance (EDSA) - Region 1 opportunity is a FEMA-administered cooperative agreement program under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to reduce earthquake-related losses across the United States. The program sits within the broader NEHRP framework, which focuses on both foundational and applied work in earthquake science and engineering, with an emphasis on turning research and lessons learned into practical measures that improve safety, resilience, and preparedness. In plain terms, it is meant to help states strengthen the way they prevent, withstand, and recover from earthquake impacts, while also improving how earthquake risk reduction practices are adopted in real-world settings.
This funding aligns with national preparedness and resilience goals, specifically supporting the national mitigation mission laid out in Presidential Policy Directive PPD-8 and the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review priority of strengthening national preparedness and resilience. It also connects directly to FEMA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan by contributing to Strategic Goal 1, building a culture of preparedness, and Strategic Goal 2, readying the nation for catastrophic disasters. The intent is not just to fund one-off projects, but to support sustained capacity, coordination, and implementation activities that make earthquake risk reduction more routine and embedded in public policy, professional practice, and community awareness.
The program identifies several priority areas that describe the types of activities it wants to advance. A major focus is working with model building codes and national consensus standards so that research findings and technical improvements actually make their way into the rules, standards, and common practices that shape how buildings and infrastructure are designed and constructed. Another priority is developing and maintaining seismic-resistant design and construction guidance and tools, which can include publications, software, and training for both new construction and retrofit or evaluation of existing structures, including performance-based seismic design guidelines. The program also emphasizes implementation and outreach, such as public awareness campaigns and communications efforts through media, articles, and targeted initiatives, recognizing that risk reduction depends heavily on informed decision-making by officials, professionals, and the public.
Beyond individual state efforts, the opportunity highlights support for multi-state consortia and partnerships, reflecting the reality that earthquake risk, engineering practice, and lifeline systems often cross jurisdictional boundaries and benefit from regional coordination. It also prioritizes direct support for state earthquake programs, which can include strengthening state capabilities to plan, coordinate, and implement earthquake mitigation activities. Another stated area is disaster support, such as subject matter expert assistance and post-event studies, conducted in line with the FEMA Disaster Response Framework, the Earthquake Incident Annex, and other applicable policies. Finally, it calls out support for standards for critical lifelines infrastructure, acknowledging the outsized consequences of earthquake damage to systems like water, power, transportation, and communications.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expects an active partnership role during execution rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal involvement. The catalog number is CFDA 97.082, and the eligible applicants are state governments. The opportunity was posted on May 2, 2019, with an application closing date of June 3, 2019. For Region 1, FEMA anticipated making about three awards, with a stated award ceiling of $30,000 per award. While the summary lists the priority themes at a high level, the detailed rules about what activities are allowable, and how they must be structured, are referenced as being in Appendix C of the Earthquake Direct State Assistance Notice of Funding Opportunity, which applicants would need to follow closely when proposing work and building budgets.
Overall, the FY 2019 NEHRP EDSA Region 1 opportunity is best understood as targeted federal support to help states move earthquake risk reduction from theory into practice by strengthening codes and standards adoption, improving technical guidance and training, expanding outreach and implementation efforts, reinforcing state and regional partnerships, and enhancing readiness to support disaster response and post-event learning, especially as it relates to protecting critical infrastructure and reducing long-term losses.Apply for DHS 19 MT 082 01 01
