National Association of Counties
On April 14, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and final allocations for the FY 2020 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG-S) Program-Supplemental Funding. All 56 states and territories can now apply for the $100 million in supplemental funding made available to EMPG under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Once a state or territory has been awarded its grant, they can then make subawards to local and tribal governments, such as counties.
EMPG-S program assists states, local governments, tribes and territories with their public health and emergency management activities that support the prevention of, preparation for and response to the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency. FEMA announced that it will award funding to support planning and operational readiness, development of tools and strategies for prevention, preparedness and response to COVID-19, and to ensure ongoing communication and coordination among federal, state, local, tribal and territorial partners throughout the response.
Funding awarded under the EMPG-S program is separate and distinct from any funding that will be awarded under the FY 2020 EMPG Program NOFO published on Feb. 14, 2020.
