Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 NPD 107 00 01

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 National Incident Management System (NIMS) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 21 NPD 107 00 01) is a FEMA-issued cooperative agreement under the Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen and sustain EMAC, the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. EMAC is a congressionally ratified, state-to-state mutual aid agreement that allows states and territories to share resources across jurisdictional lines during emergencies and disasters, particularly when a governor declares a state of emergency. It is widely adopted, with participation from all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. While the federal government supports EMAC both doctrinally and financially, EMAC is not federally managed, which keeps operational control centered on the states and their established mutual aid relationships.

The core purpose of this award is to maintain and further develop the consistent national system EMAC uses to request, deploy, manage, and return resources during incident response and recovery. In practice, that system covers the full lifecycle of mutual aid: how a state identifies needs, how requests are communicated and matched with available assistance, how deployed personnel and assets are tracked and supported while in the field, and how they are demobilized and returned home. The opportunity emphasizes that EMAC can move a wide range of resources, including personnel, equipment, and commodities, and that its value is especially clear in the immediate period after an incident when communities are trying to stabilize critical lifelines. EMACs established working relationships with states, regions, territories, and key federal partners such as FEMA and the National Guard Bureau are highlighted as an important reason it can mobilize resources quickly and at scale.

A major theme of the notice is improving multi-jurisdictional and interstate coordination so that large-scale, complex, or catastrophic incidents can be met with rapid mutual aid that bolsters local capabilities rather than replacing them. The grant is framed as supporting incident management and mutual aid coordination mechanisms that help stabilize essential services and functions right away, which aligns with national preparedness doctrine and the National Preparedness Goal. By investing in EMACs processes and coordination infrastructure, the award aims to help jurisdictions build, sustain, and deliver core capabilities that contribute to a more secure and resilient nation.

From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument (meaning FEMA expects substantial involvement in the project beyond a standard pass-through grant). The CFDA/Assistance Listing associated with the program is 97.107. FEMA anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000. The opportunity was posted on June 2, 2021, with an original application closing date of July 2, 2021. Eligibility is limited primarily to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), with additional eligible applicant details referenced in the notice. Overall, the opportunity is targeted and purpose-built: it is less about funding many separate local projects and more about supporting the national mutual aid framework that states rely on to share critical resources quickly and effectively during disasters.
