Perry, Secretary MEMORANDUM TO: Local Emergency Management Coordinator FROM: Michael A. Sprayberry, Director DATE: November 24, 2015 SUBJECT: Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) FFY 2016 Funding You are invited to submit your application for the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) program funding for FFY 2016 (October 1, 2015 — September 30, 2017). There are two types of award amounts that will be made for this grant period. The first type is a Universal (Baseline) dollar amount based on a county population formula. Universal work activities for this baseline amount must be completed, verified and approved by your Branch Office no later than September 30, 2016. Failure to complete all Universal work activities will result in a penalty that will be assessed against your FFY 2017 EMPG funds. The second type of payment will be for approved Optional work activities, up to six (6), that your county may choose to work on in addition to the Universal activities. Approved Optional activities will result in additional monies being awarded. The final award amount will be determined when all county Optional activities have been completed, verified and approved. Failure to complete an Optional activity will not result in a penalty other than no monies awarded for that activity. Optional activities must be completed and approved prior to September 30, 2016. The enclosed application package contains State and Federal Guidance and the necessary forms to complete your application. Please review this material and gather the information needed. Your Area Coordinator or Branch Manager will be available to assist you in completing the application package. Additionally, your Area Coordinator can work with you to determine the actual percentage of time you devote to emergency management, preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery activities (excluding Fire Marshal, EMS, 911, safety activities, etc.). In order to be eligible to receive EMPG funds, you must complete, sign and submit to your Branch Office the completed documents by February 12, 2016. I recommend you develop and complete your FFY 2016 EMPG Application for Funding package in consultation with your key county officials. I encourage you to use this opportunity to discuss your program with your county officials.
