Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 GPD 111 02 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) for Region 2 is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is funded under the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-93) and is designed to strengthen how jurisdictions in a region work together to prepare for and manage truly large-scale, high-impact disasters. The program recognizes that catastrophic events do not respect jurisdictional borders, and that prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery activities often depend on regional systems and shared resources. Because of those interdependencies, the grant emphasizes a cohesive, regional approach to planning and preparedness rather than isolated, single-jurisdiction efforts.
At the core of this opportunity is the goal of building regional capacity to handle catastrophic incidents by improving and expanding collaboration across governments and partners involved in preparedness. FEMA ties the program to the National Response Framework (4th edition, 2019), which defines a catastrophic incident as any natural or human-caused event, including terrorism, that produces extraordinary levels of casualties, damage, or disruption. These incidents can severely affect the population, infrastructure, environment, economy, national morale, and even government functions. The grant is meant to help regions anticipate those kinds of cascading effects and address the planning and coordination problems that typically emerge when the scale of an event overwhelms normal systems.
FY 2020 RCPGP specifically targets known capability gaps in two FEMA core capability areas: Housing and Logistics and Supply Chain Management. In practical terms, that focus signals an emphasis on the difficult, resource-intensive challenges that appear after catastrophic events, such as identifying, sourcing, staging, transporting, and distributing critical supplies, and planning for short-term and longer-term housing needs when large numbers of residents are displaced. The program also encourages innovative regional solutions, meaning applicants are expected to look for creative, scalable approaches that can be shared across jurisdictions and that build on existing regional preparedness work rather than starting from scratch.
Eligibility is limited to governmental applicants, including state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. The opportunity is categorized under disaster prevention and relief and is listed under CFDA number 97.111. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 20 GPD 111 02 01. The notice was created on May 20, 2020, with an original application closing date of July 15, 2020. The maximum award amount listed (award ceiling) is $1,000,000, and FEMA anticipated making approximately 20 awards under this opportunity.
Overall, the Region 2 RCPGP opportunity is best understood as a regional preparedness investment aimed at closing specific, high-consequence capability gaps and strengthening cross-jurisdictional coordination for worst-case scenarios. It supports planning and collaboration that better align regional partners around housing solutions and supply chain/logistics strategies so that, when a catastrophic incident occurs, the region can coordinate resources, make faster decisions, and sustain operations at a scale that would be difficult for any single jurisdiction to manage alone.Apply for DHS 20 GPD 111 02 01
