Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 MT 082 07 99
The Fiscal Year 2023 Individual State Earthquake Assistance (ISEA) - Region 7 opportunity is a FEMA discretionary grant under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). NEHRP is a long-running, multi-agency national effort aimed at reducing earthquake-related deaths, injuries, and damage across the United States by supporting work that improves both the science and practical application of earthquake risk reduction. While FEMA is the awarding agency for this specific grant, NEHRP is carried out in partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the National Science Foundation (NSF), reflecting the program's combined focus on research, engineering, and real-world implementation.
At its core, this funding is meant to help eligible states strengthen seismic safety and raise earthquake risk awareness in ways that can be demonstrated and measured. FEMA emphasizes that funded activities must align with NEHRP's overall vision, mission, goals, and FEMA's defined responsibilities under the program (referenced in the Notice of Funding Opportunity as Appendix A). In practice, that means projects should do more than produce plans or reports; they should lead to tangible improvements such as stronger mitigation capability, better-informed decision-making, more effective public outreach, improved adoption or enforcement of seismic considerations, or other outcomes that clearly enhance resilience to earthquakes.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Only state governments may apply, and participation is restricted to states and territories that FEMA has determined to be at High to Very High earthquake risk. In addition, applicants must be able to meet a statutory 25 percent non-federal cost share, which is a significant gating requirement for many jurisdictions. There is an exception for territories considered "Insular Areas" (specifically Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands): if they are otherwise eligible to participate, the cost share requirement does not apply to them. This structure signals that FEMA expects applicants not only to propose useful seismic risk-reduction activities, but also to commit state-level resources and buy-in to sustain or match the federal investment.
The opportunity is tied directly to larger national preparedness and resilience priorities. It supports the Department of Homeland Security Strategic Plan (FY 2020-2024) mission area focused on strengthening preparedness and resilience, and it aligns with the national preparedness goal of mitigation as laid out in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8). It also supports FEMA's 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, particularly Strategic Goal 3, which centers on promoting and sustaining a ready FEMA and a prepared nation. In other words, this grant is positioned as one tool among many federal efforts to push earthquake mitigation forward as a core piece of national readiness, not a standalone scientific program.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant (not a contract) and is listed under Assistance Listing/CFDA number 97.082. The funding opportunity number is DHS-23-MT-082-07-99, and the application deadline for the original posting was June 7, 2023 (with a creation/posting date of May 8, 2023). The listed award ceiling is $63,171 for this Region 7 opportunity. Applicants are directed to submit through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) at https://go.fema.gov/, which is FEMA's system for preparing and submitting applications and managing post-award actions.Apply for DHS 23 MT 082 07 99
