Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 GPD 111 01 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) - Region 1 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is funded under the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-93) and is designed to strengthen how communities in a region plan and work together before, during, and after catastrophic incidents. In this context, a catastrophic incident follows the National Response Framework (4th edition, 2019) definition: a natural or human-caused event, including terrorism, that creates extraordinary levels of casualties, destruction, or disruption severe enough to impact people, infrastructure, the environment, the economy, national morale, or government functions.
The central goal of the program is to build regional capacity to manage catastrophic incidents by improving and expanding collaboration across jurisdictions. Instead of treating preparedness as something each city, county, or state handles alone, the program emphasizes that effective prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery are interconnected across a region. Because critical systems and resources (such as transportation corridors, medical surge capacity, sheltering options, fuel distribution, food supply, and warehousing) cross local boundaries, the grant encourages a cohesive, regional approach to catastrophic planning and problem-solving.
The FY 2020 RCPGP specifically targets known capability gaps in two core capability areas: Housing, and Logistics and Supply Chain Management. In practical terms, this means supporting planning and coordination efforts that improve how a region would house displaced residents after a large-scale disaster and how it would manage the movement, staging, distribution, and resupply of essential commodities and services when normal systems are overwhelmed. The program also encourages innovative regional solutions, meaning applicants are expected to propose approaches that go beyond routine planning, reflect shared regional needs, and build on existing preparedness work rather than starting from scratch.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 97.111 and uses the grant funding instrument type, with the overall activity category tied to disaster prevention and relief. The funding opportunity number is DHS 20 GPD 111 01 01, and the program was created on May 20, 2020, with an original application closing date of July 15, 2020. Awards under this opportunity have an award ceiling of $1,000,000, and FEMA anticipated making about 20 awards.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at helping Region 1 jurisdictions align their catastrophic preparedness efforts, close specific gaps related to housing and supply chain logistics, and formalize or strengthen regional partnerships so that when an extreme event occurs, the region can act in a coordinated way rather than as isolated governments competing for limited resources.Apply for DHS 20 GPD 111 01 01
