Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 MT 082 06 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Individual State Earthquake Assistance (ISEA) - Region 6 opportunity is a FEMA grant under the Department of Homeland Security designed to reduce earthquake-related losses by helping states strengthen earthquake preparedness, mitigation, and public risk awareness. It sits under the broader National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), a long-running federal effort focused on improving seismic safety through a combination of research-backed practices and on-the-ground implementation in earthquake science and engineering. In practical terms, the program is meant to move proven earthquake risk-reduction approaches into state and local planning, outreach, and readiness activities so that communities are less vulnerable when earthquakes occur.
This grant aligns with several major federal preparedness and resilience frameworks. It supports the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review mission area focused on strengthening national preparedness and resilience, and it ties directly to the national preparedness goal of mitigation described in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8). It also supports FEMA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan, particularly Strategic Goal 1 (Build a Culture of Preparedness) and Strategic Goal 2 (Ready the Nation for Catastrophic Disasters). The consistent theme across these policy anchors is that earthquake safety is not only a technical issue but also a preparedness and resilience issue: improving building and planning practices, increasing awareness, and strengthening coordination before a disaster happens can substantially reduce impacts later.
Eligibility is narrow and intentionally targeted. Only state governments can apply, and participation is limited to states and territories FEMA has determined to be at high to very high earthquake risk. Beyond that, applicants must generally be able to meet a statutory 25 percent non-federal cost share requirement, meaning the federal award does not cover 100 percent of project costs. There is an important exception for insular areas: Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the U.S. Virgin Islands are exempt from the cost share requirement if they are otherwise eligible for participation. This structure reflects a common FEMA approach of requiring local investment while recognizing the unique fiscal constraints of certain territories.
Funded work must be consistent with NEHRP's vision, mission, goals, and FEMA program responsibilities as laid out in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), including referenced guidance in Appendix C. While the summary does not list specific project types, it makes clear that FEMA expects activities to lead to measurable improvements in seismic safety and earthquake risk awareness at the national level. In other words, projects are expected to produce concrete, trackable outcomes rather than general planning without deliverables. The emphasis on measurable enhancement suggests that applicants should be prepared to define how their proposed activities will improve readiness, mitigation capability, or public understanding, and how that improvement will be documented.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant (not a formula entitlement), offered as a grant funding instrument under CFDA 97.082. The opportunity was created on April 30, 2021, with an original application closing date of June 15, 2021. The award ceiling listed is $57,660, and FEMA anticipated making two awards under this Region 6 posting. Those figures indicate relatively modest awards intended to support targeted state-level initiatives, capacity-building, or specific deliverables rather than large-scale construction or major infrastructure projects.
In short, this FEMA NEHRP ISEA Region 6 funding opportunity is a focused earthquake risk-reduction grant for high-risk states and territories that can meet cost share requirements (with an exemption for specific insular areas). It is meant to advance nationally consistent seismic safety outcomes by funding work that fits NEHRP priorities and produces measurable improvements in preparedness, mitigation, and public earthquake risk awareness.Apply for DHS 21 MT 082 06 01
