Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 18 MT 082 10 01
The Fiscal Year 2018 Earthquake Consortium and State Support (ECSS) Direct State Assistance - Region 10 grant opportunity is a FEMA funding program under the Department of Homeland Security designed to help states reduce earthquake-related losses and strengthen long-term resilience. It sits within the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), a federal effort focused on limiting deaths, injuries, and property damage from earthquakes by supporting both practical implementation work and activities that help move earthquake science and engineering research into real-world use. In plain terms, this opportunity is meant to help state-level partners turn proven earthquake risk-reduction knowledge into actions that improve how communities prepare, build, and recover.
The program is explicitly aligned with national preparedness and mitigation policy priorities. It supports the broader federal mission of strengthening national preparedness and resilience, as reflected in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, and it connects to the national preparedness goal of mitigation laid out in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8). The central priority is to reduce risk to life and property by maintaining and advancing an effective earthquake hazards reduction program, meaning the funding is geared toward measurable steps that make communities safer before an earthquake happens, not just after.
The opportunity lists five main objectives that guide what the funding is intended to accomplish. First, it emphasizes promoting the implementation of research results, which typically means taking findings from earthquake studies, engineering analyses, and applied research and helping state and local stakeholders actually use them in planning, policy, and practice. Second, it aims to promote better building practices, reflecting the reality that building design, construction quality, and code adoption and enforcement are among the most important factors in reducing earthquake casualties and damage. Third, it supports providing assistance that enables resilience at the individual, organizational, and community level, which can include capacity building, planning support, and practical tools or programs that help people and institutions withstand and bounce back from seismic events. Fourth, it calls for supporting earthquake education and public awareness, recognizing that public understanding of risk, protective actions, and preparedness steps can significantly reduce injuries and speed recovery. Fifth, it encourages developing approaches that coordinate earthquake risk reduction with strategies for other hazards, sometimes described as multi-hazard design, so that investments and planning can address overlapping risks from natural and technological hazards rather than treating earthquakes in isolation.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates FEMA expects an active partnership role with award recipients rather than a hands-off pass-through grant. The eligible applicants are state governments in Region 10, and the opportunity is cataloged under CFDA number 97.082. The funding opportunity number is DHS 18 MT 082 10 01. The posting indicates an anticipated total structure that includes an award ceiling of $43,978 and an expectation of two awards, suggesting relatively small, targeted awards intended to support specific state-level activities or deliverables rather than large capital projects.
The timeline provided shows the opportunity was created on June 8, 2018, with an original closing date of July 8, 2018. For specifics on what activities qualify and how FEMA defines allowable or recommended work under each objective, applicants are directed to Appendix C of the Direct State Assistance Notice of Funding Opportunity, which serves as the detailed guide for eligible activities and program expectations.Apply for DHS 18 MT 082 10 01
