The purpose of the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) program is to make grants available to states to assist state, local, territorial and tribal governments in preparing for all hazards, as authorized by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.).
Title VI of the Stafford Act authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to make grants for the purpose of providing a system of emergency preparedness for the protection of life and property in the United States from hazards and to vest responsibility for emergency preparedness jointly in the federal government, states and their political subdivisions. The federal government, through the EMPG program, provides necessary direction, coordination and guidance, and provides necessary assistance, as authorized in this title so that a comprehensive emergency preparedness system exists at all levels for all hazards.
Examples of tangible outcomes from the EMPG program include building and sustaining core capabilities through:
- Completion of the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process
- Strengthening governance integration
- Approved emergency plans
- Development and maintenance of multi-year Training and Exercise Plans (TEPs)
