What the grant funds

The purpose of the FY 2023 EMBAG cooperative agreement is to support the use of national-level standards for emergency management to help ensure that SLTT communities have accredited emergency management programs and certified emergency managers in place before an incident occurs. To achieve this purpose, the EMBAG supports voluntary national-level standards and peer review assessment processes that communities can use to identify the capacity and shortfalls of their emergency management programs and emergency managers and develop a path to compliance with these standards. These national-level standards fall under “other assistance” called out under Section 503 (b)(2)(G) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to “build tribal, local, State, regional, and national capabilities…necessary to respond to a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster.” See 6 U.S.C. § 313(b)(2)(G). The EMBAG specifically supports: 1. Voluntary national-level standards and peer review assessment processes for emergency preparedness and response that are driven, established, validated, and revised through consensus. 2. The assessment of SLTT emergency management programs and emergency managers against national-level standards for emergency management. 3. Outreach and training to emergency management programs and emergency managers participating in EMBAG-funded activities. Applicants can submit applications for this funding opportunity through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO). Access the system at https://go.fema.gov/.
