Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 MT 082 07 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Individual State Earthquake Assistance (ISEA) - Region 7 grant is a discretionary FEMA funding opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security that supports the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). The central purpose of this program is to reduce earthquake-related losses across the United States by backing practical, implementation-focused work tied to earthquake science, engineering, and public risk reduction. In plain terms, the funding is meant to help states strengthen seismic safety and raise earthquake risk awareness in ways that can be measured and demonstrated, rather than funding activities that are only theoretical or loosely connected to outcomes.
This opportunity is part of FEMA's broader national preparedness and resilience agenda. It aligns with the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review mission area focused on strengthening national preparedness and resilience, and it supports the mitigation core of Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8). It also connects directly to FEMA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan by contributing to Strategic Goal 1 (Build a Culture of Preparedness) and Strategic Goal 2 (Ready the Nation for Catastrophic Disasters). In practice, that means applicants are expected to propose work that helps communities better understand earthquake risk, improve readiness, and reduce the consequences of earthquakes through informed planning, safer practices, or improved implementation of seismic risk reduction strategies.
Eligibility is narrow by design. Only state governments may apply, and participation is limited to states and territories that FEMA has determined to be at high to very high earthquake risk. On top of that, applicants must be able to meet a statutory 25 percent non-federal cost share requirement. The cost share rule is waived only for eligible insular areas, specifically Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as long as they otherwise qualify for participation. This effectively means the program is aimed at jurisdictions with significant seismic risk and the ability to invest their own resources alongside federal funds.
The grant is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 21 MT 082 07 01 and is associated with CFDA number 97.082. The award ceiling for this Region 7 opportunity is $62,560, and FEMA anticipated making one award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the work may not fit neatly into a single standard category but still must meet the program's NEHRP-driven intent and requirements.
From a compliance and program design standpoint, FEMA emphasizes that funded activities must be consistent with NEHRP's vision, mission, goals, and FEMA program responsibilities as detailed in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), including the referenced Appendix C. The key expectation is that the funded work produces a measurable improvement in seismic safety and earthquake risk awareness at a national level, which typically implies clear deliverables, performance measures, and outcomes that FEMA can track. The opportunity was created on April 30, 2021, with an original application closing date of June 15, 2021.Apply for DHS 21 MT 082 07 01
