Emergency Management Performance Grants — CFDA 97.042

EMPG obligations at $769,301,275.39

USAspending.gov records $769,301,275.39 in obligations under CFDA 97.042. One hundred forty-six awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $5,269,187 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical local-EMA budget and not a cost per planner. Other FEMA emergency-management listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $769,301,275.39.

The assistance-listing title is EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE GRANTS. CFDA 97.042 is the identifier. Combining 97.042 with Homeland Security Grant Program or EMPG-ARPA codes would invent a combined emergency-management total this packet does not contain. Read the $769,301,275.39 as the obligation book tagged 97.042 only.

62 recipients across 57 jurisdictions

Sixty-two recipients share 146 awards, or about 2.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $769,301,275.39 evenly would assign about $12.4 million per recipient. That density is a state-administrative-agency pattern: a small named-headcount carrying a few assistance rows over time. The packet does not list the 62.

Fifty-seven jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus territories and other coded entities. EMPG dollars follow statutory allocations to state emergency-management agencies, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of county emergency managers.

Award rows are not a disaster census

Among DHS listings, 97.042 is a formula file: 146 awards against 62 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of emergency-management programs” and a worse proxy for incidents managed. Recipients (62) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (146) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report Stafford Act declarations, EOC activations, or plan revisions. Citing 146 as disasters would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $769,301,275.39 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus EMPG outlays

The $769,301,275.39 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Emergency Management Performance Grants awards — are not in the packet. A formula file can show a large obligation stock while state agencies draw against fiscal-year work plans. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 97.042 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a declaration log, not an EOC directory, and not a mutual-aid roster. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $769,301,275.39. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 146 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 57 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of emergency-management funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to state EMA offices.
