FY 2010 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 
PERFORMANCE GRANTS (EMPG) PROGRAM 

Sample Grant Activities 

Outline Template 

 

EMPG Program Work Plan. All EMPG Program applicants must submit a Work 
Plan that outlines the State’s emergency management sustainment and 
enhancement efforts, including new and ongoing projects, proposed for the FY 2010 
EMPG Program period of performance. The Work Plan consists of a Program and 
Budget Narrative as well as a Grant Activities Outline. FEMA regional offices will 
work closely with States to monitor Work Plans during the performance period. In 
addition, FEMA regional offices must concur on final Work Plans before States may 
draw down EMPG Program funds. Grant funds will be released on a rolling basis 
upon approval of the State’s final Work Plan.

A. Program and Budget Narrative 

Provide a brief description of the State emergency management priorities and 
initiatives that will be addressed with FY 2010 EMPG Program funds as they relate 
to expenditures outlined in the SF 424A. In addition, the narrative must address, if 
applicable, the following: 

 

. Overview of the State’s risk profile (natural, technological, man-made) 


. Areas of need identified through assessment processes 


. Baseline inventory of where States are now relative to goals and objectives 
identified in relevant strategic plans 


. State emergency management priorities and planning focus for FY 2010 




 

B. EMPG Grant Activities Outline 

 

To facilitate performance measures and focus on outcomes, an EMPG Program Grant 
Activities Outline must be completed for activities supported with FY 2010 EMPG 
Program funds (including construction and renovation projects). 

 

Grantees should complete a template as shown on the next page and address the 
following areas: 

 

. Emergency Management Functions (EMF): Identify how the grant activities 
relate to the Emergency Management Functions identified through the EMAP 
Standard (e.g., Resource Management, Communications and Warning, etc.) 




 


. Objective: Briefly explain the major objective of the grant activities, including 
how activities will address shortfalls identified through various assessments 
conducted 




 

. Performance Measure and Basis of Evaluation: Indicate the performance 
measure(s) that will be used to evaluate these activities 




 

. Challenges/Risks: Identify any challenges to implementing these activities 




 

. Quarterly Activity: For each quarter, briefly identify the expected outcome. This 
information will provide the foundation for the Quarterly Progress Report
