Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 GPD 111 09 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) - Region 9 is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to strengthen how communities across a region prepare for and manage truly large-scale disasters. The core idea is to invest in regional readiness for catastrophic incidents by helping jurisdictions work together more effectively, close known preparedness capability gaps, and develop practical, innovative solutions that can be applied across multiple partners rather than in isolation. The program is rooted in the understanding that the most severe incidents rarely stay confined within a single city or county boundary, so planning, coordination, and shared operating approaches need to be built at a regional level.
The program frames "catastrophic incident" using the National Response Framework (4th edition, 2019) definition, meaning any natural or human-caused event, including terrorism, that produces extraordinary levels of casualties, destruction, or disruption. These are the kinds of incidents that can severely affect people and lifeline infrastructure, damage the environment, interrupt the economy, undermine public confidence, and strain or disrupt government operations. Because the consequences can cascade across systems and jurisdictions, the grant emphasizes a cohesive regional approach that spans the full emergency management mission set: prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery. In practical terms, this typically translates into multi-jurisdiction planning and coordination efforts designed to make it easier for partners to operate together under extreme conditions.
Administratively, this opportunity is a grant (not a contract) listed under the Disaster Prevention and Relief activity category and associated with CFDA number 97.111. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, reflecting the program's focus on government-led regional coordination. The opportunity was created on May 20, 2021, with an original application closing date of July 16, 2021. The stated award ceiling is $1,200,000, and FEMA anticipated making about 20 awards under this announcement, indicating a competitive program aimed at supporting multiple regional projects while still funding efforts of meaningful size.
Overall, RCPGP Region 9 is designed to help governments in the region move beyond standalone preparedness activities and toward shared regional capabilities that can withstand high-impact, complex incidents. By prioritizing collaboration and targeted gap-closure, the funding supports the kind of planning and coordination work that can be difficult to fund through day-to-day budgets but becomes essential when an incident overwhelms normal systems and requires tightly aligned action across many agencies and jurisdictions. For reference, the funding opportunity number for this announcement is DHS 21 GPD 111 09 01, and the sponsoring agency is DHS/FEMA.Apply for DHS 21 GPD 111 09 01
