STATE, LOCAL OR TRIBAL EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTERS

The purpose of this Request for Applications is to solicit applications for federal grant funding made available from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program (Program) through the New York State Office of Homeland Security (OHS). This Program provides funding intended to improve emergency management and preparedness capabilities by supporting flexible, sustainable, secure and interoperable EOCs with a focus on identified deficiencies and needs.

To be considered for funding, eligible EOCs must be a primary State, local or tribal Emergency Operations Center located in the State of New York. Recognizing the limited amount of competitive funding available in FY 2010, consideration will be given to EOC projects that are not already receiving prior years' EOC Grant Program and/or Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program funding.

Funds must be spent in compliance with rules and regulations noted in the Federal EOC Guidance and Application Kit.

Applications will be accepted through 11:59 pm January 25, 2010 through the State's electronic grants management system (E-Grants).

For grant guidance, application requirements and instructions, contact: Office of Homeland Security at the above address, or call 1-866-837-9133 or e-mail: [email protected]
