FY 2010 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP)
Total Funding Available in FY 2010: $33.6 Million
Purpose: The purpose of RCPGP is to enhance catastrophic incident preparedness in selected high-risk, high-consequence urban areas and their surrounding regions. RCPGP is intended to support coordination of regional all-hazard planning for catastrophic events, including the development of integrated planning communities, plans, protocols and procedures to manage a catastrophic event. The deliverables from the RCPGP will be made available throughout the country to enhance national resilience.
Eligible Applicants: Eligible applicants under FY 2010 RCPGP include the eleven (11) pre-designated high-risk, high-consequence urban areas within the ten (10) RCPGP sites that received funding under RCPGP in the FY 2009 grant cycle. The Governor of each state and territory is required to designate a State Administrative Agency (SAA) to apply for and administer the funds awarded under RCPGP. The SAA is the only entity eligible to apply to FEMA for RCPGP funds.
Program Awards: One non-competitive award will be made to each of the pre-designated eleven (11) high-risk, high consequence urban areas within the ten (10) RCPGP sites, provided their application meets the minimum standards specified for FY 2010.
