Federal Program
Announcement
In February 2021, the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) issued the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021
Emergency Management Preparedness Grant (EMPG),
Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and FEMA
Preparedness Grants Manual. An updated NOFO was
released in April, 2021 to reflect supplemental funding
provided by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
Subrecipients must follow the programmatic
requirements in the NOFO, FEMA Preparedness Grants
Manual, and the applicable provisions of the Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards located in Title 2,
Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) Part 200.
Information Bulletins DHS issues Information Bulletins (IBs) to provide updates,
clarification, and new requirements throughout the life
of the grant.
Purpose of the
California Supplement
The FY 2021 EMPG and EMPG-ARPA California
Supplement to the NOFO (State Supplement) is
intended to complement, rather than replace, the
NOFO and the FEMA Preparedness Grants Manual. All
references to the FY 2021 EMPG Program in this State
Supplement, also extend to the EMPG-ARPA Program.
Applicants are highly encouraged to thoroughly read
the NOFO and the Preparedness Grants Manual
before referring to the State Supplement. The State
Supplement will emphasize differences between the
FY 2020 and FY 2021 EMPG and highlight additional
California policies and requirements applicable to the
FY 2021 EMPG .

Section 1 ‒ Overview | 2021
Key Changes to the
FY 2021 EMPG
•Additional funding is provided to EMPG under the
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
•The FY 2021 EMPG Financial Management Forms
Workbook (FMFW) has been updated.
•The Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP) format,
previously known as the Multi-Year Training and
Exercise Plan (MYTEP), will be required for the
September 30, 2022, submission.
•FEMA Independent Study training course 230e has
been updated.
•The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published
revisions to various sections of Title 2 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (2 C.F.R.) as they relate to federal
financial assistance. While some of the revisions were
effective on August 13, 2020, most of the changes took
effect on November 12, 2020. We highly encourage
subrecipients to familiarize themselves with these
changes. Information on all 2 C.F.R. revisions can be found
at the Federal Register’s Guidance for Grants and
Agreements webpage.
Grants Management
Memoranda
Cal OES issues Grants Management Memoranda
(GMMs) which provide additional information and
requirements regarding EMPG funds.
Eligible Subrecipients Eligible Applicants, referred to as Subrecipients, include
Counties/Operational Areas (OAs), and federally-
recognized tribes located in California.
Tribal Allocations The NOFO strongly encourages Cal OES to provide
EMPG funds directly to tribes in California. To
implement this requirement, a special Request for
Proposal will be issued to California’s federally-
recognized tribes. All Subrecipients are encouraged to
coordinate with tribal governments to ensure that tribal
needs are considered in their grant applications.
Subrecipient
Allocations
FY 2021 EMPG and EMPG-ARPA Subrecipient final
allocations are included in Attachments A and B.
Supplanting Grant funds must be used to supplement existing funds,
not replace (supplant) funds that have been
appropriated for the same purpose. Subrecipients may
3
Section 1 ‒ Overview | 2021
Supplanting Cont. be required to provide supporting documentation that
certifies a reduction in non-federal resources occurred
for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt
of federal funds. Supplanting will result in the
disallowance of any activity associated with this
improper use of federal grant funds.
Public/Private
Organizations
Subrecipients may contract with any other public or
private organizations to perform eligible activities on
approved EMPG projects.
Debarred/
Suspended Parties
Subrecipients must not make or permit any award
(subaward or contract) at any tier, to any party, that is
debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from, or
ineligible for, participation in federal assistance
programs.
Subrecipients must obtain documentation of eligibility
prior to making any subaward or contract funded by
EMPG funds, and must be prepared to present
supporting documentation to monitors/auditors.
Before entering into a Grant Subaward, the
Subrecipient must notify Cal OES if it knows if any of the
principals under the subaward fall under one or more
of the four criteria listed at 2 C.F.R. § 180.335. The rule
also applies to Subrecipients who pass-through funding
to other local entities.
If at any time after accepting a subaward,
Subrecipients learn that any of its principals fall under
one or more of the criteria listed at 2 C.F.R. § 180.335,
immediate written notice must be provided to Cal OES
and all grant activities halted until further instructions
are received from Cal OES. The rule also applies to
subawards passed through by Subrecipients to local
entities.

Section 2 ‒ Federal Changes and Initiatives | 2021
FY 2021 Program
Priorities
DHS/FEMA annually publishes the National Preparedness
Report (NPR) to report national progress in building,
sustaining, and delivering the core capabilities outlined in
the goal of a secure and resilient nation. This analysis
provides a national perspective on critical preparedness
trends for whole community partners to use to inform
program priorities, allocate resources, and communicate
with stakeholders about issues of concern.
In developing applications for the FY 2021 EMPG Program,
Subrecipients should fund projects that address areas for
improvement as they relate to emergency management
capabilities, including:
•Logistics – Distribution Management Planning;
•Evacuation Plan/Annex;
•Disaster Financial Management;
•Catastrophic Disaster Housing; and
•Resilient Communications
In addition, EMPG Subrecipients should consider funding
projects that fall into the state, regional, and national priority
areas:
•Mass Care
•Housing
•Economic Recovery
DHS/FEMA does not prescribe a minimum funding amount
for these priorities. However, Subrecipients are required to
support local, regional, state, and national efforts in
achieving the desired outcomes of these priorities.
National
Campaigns and
Programs
Whole Community Preparedness – Subrecipients should
engage with the whole community to advance individual
and community preparedness and to work as a nation to
build and sustain resilience. In doing so, Subrecipients are
encouraged to consider the needs of individuals with access
and functional needs and limited English proficiency in the
activities and projects funded by the grant.
Subrecipients should utilize established best practices for
whole community inclusion and engage with stakeholders to
5
Section 2 ‒ Federal Changes and Initiatives | 2021
National
Campaigns and
Programs Cont.
advance individual and jurisdictional preparedness and
resilience. Subrecipients are encouraged to consider the
necessities of all Californians in the activities and projects
funded by the grant including children, seniors, individuals
with disabilities or access and functional needs, individuals
with diverse culture and language use, individuasl with lower
economic capacity, and other underserved populations.
Active Shooter Preparedness – DHS has developed a
comprehensive Active Shooter Preparedness website, which
strives to enhance national preparedness through a whole-
community approach by providing the necessary products,
tools, and resources to help all stakeholders prepare for and
respond to an active shooter incident. Subrecipients are
encouraged to review the referenced active shooter
resources and evaluate their preparedness needs.
Soft Targets and Crowded Places – States, territories, Urban
Areas, and public and private sector partners are
encouraged to identify security gaps and build capabilities
that address security needs and challenges related to
protecting locations or environments that are easily
accessible to large numbers of people on a predictable or
semi-predictable basis that have limited security or
protective measures in place, including town centers,
shopping malls, open-air venues, outside hard
targets/venues perimeters, and other places of meeting and
gathering. For more information, please see DHS’s
Hometown Security Program.
Community Lifelines – FEMA created Community Lifelines to
reframe incident information and impacts using plain
language and unity of effort to enable the integration of
preparedness efforts, existing plans, and identifies unmet
needs to better anticipate response requirements. Additional
information may be found at the Community Lifelines
Implementation Toolkit website.
Strategic Framework for Countering Terrorism and Targeted
Violence – DHS adopted the DHS Strategic Framework for
Countering Terrorism and Targeted Violence which explains
how the department will use the tools and expertise that
have protected and strengthened the country from foreign

terrorist organizations to address the evolving challenges of
today.
NIMS
Implementation
Prior to allocation of any federal preparedness awards,
Subrecipients must ensure and maintain adoption and
implementation of the National Incident Management
System (NIMS).
Match
Requirement
The FY 2021 EMPG requires a dollar-for-dollar match. This can
be cash or third-party in-kind contributions. Refer to 2 C.F.R.
§ 200.306 for specific details. Utilizing the FMFW Match Tab,
Subrecipients will indicate the appropriate Solution Area and
Solution Area Subcategory that accurately represents the
specific activity(ies) and cost(s) used to meet the match
requirement under the FY 2021 EMPG subaward.
Contributions from the Subrecipient should be specifically
identified in the match description located on the FMFW
Match Tab. The non-federal match contributions have the
same eligibility requirements as the federal share. For
additional match guidance, see EMPG Clarifying Guidance
IB 458.
Management
and
Administration
The Management and Administration (M&A) allowance for
Subrecipients is set at a maximum of 5 percent for the
FY 2021 EMPG.
Indirect Costs Indirect costs are allowable under the FY 2021 EMPG
Program Award. Subrecipients who claim indirect costs may
do so provided they use one of the following two methods:
1.Subrecipients with an indirect cost rate approved by their
cognizant federal agency may claim indirect costs based
on the established rate. Indirect costs claimed must be
calculated using the base approved in the indirect cost
Negotiation Agreement. A copy of the approved
Negotiation Agreement is required at the time of
application.
2.Subrecipients who have never received a negotiated
indirect cost rate and receive less than $35 million in
direct federal funding per year may claim the 10% de
minimis indirect cost rate based on Modified Total Direct
Costs as described in 2 C.F.R. § 200.1 and Subpart E.
7
Section 2 ‒ Federal Changes and Initiatives | 2021
Indirect Costs
Cont.
Indirect costs are in addition to the M&A allowance and
must be included in the Grant Award application as a
“Project” and reflected in the FMFW on the Indirect Cost Tab
if being claimed under the award.
Indirect costs must be based on the claimed direct project
costs, excluding equipment expenditures and other
distorting items. Up to $25,000 of each subaward may be
included as a direct project cost when calculating indirect
costs based on Modified Total Direct Costs.
Indirect costs must be claimed no more than once annually,
and only at the end of the Subrecipient’s fiscal year. An
exception to this rule applies if there is a mid-year change to
the approved indirect cost rate; in this case, costs incurred
to date must be claimed. At that time, a Grant Subaward
Modification reflecting the rate change must also be
submitted to Cal OES, along with a copy of the new Indirect
Cost Rate Agreement.

IS-120.c, the latter may be used in the place of the original
course). The courses listed above are the minimum
accepted versions for FY 2021 EMPG.
Training activities should align to a current MYTEP, developed
through an annual IPP Workshop. The training should help
build core capabilities and fill gaps identified in real-world
incidents and exercises. Further guidance can be found in
the HSEEP.
EMPG and non-EMPG -funded personnel may claim EMPG
funds for tuition/travel costs for EMPG eligible trainings,
provided that the purpose of the travel and training is to
accomplish the objectives of the grant.
Exercises,
Improvement
Plans and After
Action Reporting
Subrecipients should engage stakeholders to identify long-
term training and exercise priorities. These priorities should
address capability targets and gaps identified through a
Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, real-
world events, previous exercises, and national areas for
improvement identified in the NPR.
Subrecipients must report on all exercises conducted with
EMPG grant funds. An After Action Report
(AAR)/Improvement Plan (IP) or Summary Report (for
Seminars, Drills & Workshops) must be completed and
submitted to Cal OES within 90 days after the
exercise/seminar/drill/workshop is conducted.

It is acceptable to submit an Exercise Summary Report for
Seminars, drills and Workshops in lieu of a full AAR/IP.
AAR/IPs and Summary Reports should be e-mailed to:
•hseep@fema.dhs.gov
•exercise@caloes.ca.gov
•Your Program Representative
All EMPG-funded personnel, including M&A staff and any
staff being used for match, must participate in no less than
two exercises between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2023. These
exercises must align to one of the priority areas via the
Performance Reports. The Great Shakeout drop, cover, and
hold drill is ineligible for the purpose of the two exercise
requirement.
Final reimbursement of personnel salaries will not be
approved until all exercise requirements have been met.
Exercises used to meet this requirement during one period of
performance cannot be used to meet the requirement in
another. Extensions to the grant do not apply to this
requirement or its due date. There is no specific requirement
for level of participation in the exercises and the exercises
can be of any type, provided they are related to the
subrecipient’s identified long-term training and exercises
priorities.
For exercise-related issues and/or questions, email the
Cal OES Exercise Team at exercise@caloes.ca.gov.
Exercise costs will not be considered for reimbursement until
an AAR/IP is received by Cal OES.
Procurement
Standards and
Written
Procedures
Subrecipients must conduct procurement utilizing either their
own documented procurement standards and procedures,
or the federal procurement standards found in 2 C.F.R. Part
200, whichever is stricter. Procurement standards must also
contain a written conflict of interest policy which reflect
applicable federal, state, local, and tribal laws.

Section 6 ‒ Post Award Requirements | 2021
Procurement
Thresholds
Effective June 20, 2018, the micro-purchase threshold was
increased from $3,500 to $10,000 and the simplified
acquisition threshold was increased from $150,000 to
$250,000. These increases apply to all Subrecipient
procurements executed on or after June 20, 2018. Refer to
IB 434 for additional information.
Noncompetitive
Procurements
All noncompetitive procurements exceeding the simplified
acquisition threshold requires Cal OES prior written approval.
This method of procurement must be approved by the
Subrecipient’s local Purchasing Agent prior to submitting a
request for Cal OES approval. A copy of the Purchasing
Agent’s approval must be included with submission. Cal OES
may request additional documentation that supports the
procurement effort.
Environmental
Planning and
Historic
Preservation
DHS/FEMA is required to ensure all activities and programs
that are funded by the agency comply with federal
Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP)
regulations. Subrecipients proposing projects or activities
(including, but not limited to, training, exercises, the
installation of equipment, and construction or renovation
projects) that have the potential to impact the environment
or a historic structure must participate in the EHP review
process. EHP Screening Memos must include detailed
project information, explain the goals and objectives of the
proposed project, and include supporting documentation.
DHS/FEMA may also require that the Subrecipient provide a
confidential California Historical Resources Information
System (CHRIS) report in addition to the EHP Screening Form.
Determination on the necessity of a CHRIS report is based
upon information disclosed on the EHP Screening Form.
Program Representatives will provide additional instructions
should this report be required.
EHP requests should be submitted to Cal OES as early as
possible. All projects/activities triggering EHP must receive
DHS/FEMA written approval prior to commencement of the
funded activity.
Updated information may be referenced in the FEMA GPD
EHP Policy Guidance.
21
Section 6 ‒ Post Award Requirements | 2021
Construction and
Renovation
When applying for construction activity at the time of
application, including communications towers,
Subrecipients must submit evidence of approved zoning
ordinances, architectural plans, any other locally required
planning permits, and a notice of federal interest.
Additionally, Subrecipients are required to submit a SF-424C
Budget and Budget Detail that cites the project costs.
Communication tower construction requests also require
evidence that the Federal Communications Commission’s
Section 106 review process has been completed.
Subrecipients using funds for construction projects must
comply with the Davis-Bacon Act. Subrecipients must ensure
that their contractors or subcontractors for construction
projects pay workers no less than the prevailing wages for
laborers and mechanics employed on projects of a
character like the contract work in the civil subdivision of the
state in which the work is to be performed.
Written approval for construction must be provided by
DHS/FEMA prior to the use of any EMPG funds for construction
or renovation.
Inventory Control

concepts for resource typing and credentialing, in addition
to maintaining an inventory by which to facilitate the
effective identification, dispatch, deployment, tracking and
recovery of resources.
Subrecipients must have an effective inventory
management system, to include:
•Property records that document description, serial/ID
number, fund source, title information, acquisition date,
cost, federal cost share, location, use, condition, and
ultimate disposition;
•A physical inventory conducted at least every two years;
•A control system to prevent loss, damage, and theft of
grant purchased equipment and supplies; and
•Adequate maintenance procedures must be developed
to keep the property in good condition.

Section 6 ‒ Post Award Requirements | 2021
Equipment
Disposition
When original or replacement equipment acquired under
the EMPG is no longer needed for program activities, the
Subrecipient must contact their Program Representative to
request disposition instructions. See 2 C.F.R. § 200.313(e).
Performance
Reporting
BSIR – Subrecipients must complete a BSIR each Winter and
Summer using the DHS/FEMA Grants Reporting Tool (GRT) for
the duration of the subaward period of performance or until
all grant activities are completed and the subaward is
formally closed by Cal OES. Failure to submit a BSIR could
result in subaward reduction, suspension, or termination.
Access to the BSIR may be obtained through the GRT. To
create a new account, click the link that reads, “Register for
an account” and follow the instructions provided. The
Subrecipient will be required to ensure up-to-date project
information is entered. The Project Ledger in the FMFW may
assist with the BSIR data entry process. For additional
assistance with the GRT, contact the appropriate Program
Representative.
Quarterly Performance Reports – Subrecipients must prepare
and submit Performance Reports to the State for the
duration of the subaward period of performance, or until all
grant activities are completed and the subaward is formally
closed by Cal OES. The quarterly reports must include the
progress made on identified activities, as well as other
required information. Failure to submit a quarterly
Performance Report could result in subaward reduction,
suspension, or termination.
In order to ensure that mandated performance metrics and
other data required under the subaward is reported
accurately, all EMPG Performance Reports must be
submitted electronically, via email, to their Cal OES EMPG
Program Representative for review and vetting. Electronic
documents submitted for Cal OES review and vetting should
be submitted as soon as possible, but no later than, seven
calendar days before the identified due date(s) associated
with the Performance Report. Submission of the electronic
copy is only to occur after their Cal OES Program
Representative’s review has concluded and the
Subrecipient is directed by their Cal OES Program

Representative to submit the signed electronic copy.
Extension
Requests
Extensions to the initial period of performance identified in
the subaward will only be considered through formal, written
requests to the Subrecipient’s Program Representative. Upon
receipt of the extension request, Cal OES will:
1.Verify compliance with performance reporting
requirements by confirming the Subrecipient has
submitted all necessary performance reports;
2.Confirm the Subrecipient has provided sufficient
justification for the request; and
3.If applicable, confirm the Subrecipient has demonstrated
sufficient progress in past situations where an extension
was authorized by Cal OES.
Extension requests will be granted only due to compelling
legal, policy, or operational challenges, and will only be
considered for the following reasons:
1.Contractual commitments with vendors that prevent
completion of the project within the period of
performance;
2.The project must undergo a complex environmental
review which cannot be completed within this timeframe;
3.Projects are long-term by design and therefore;
acceleration would compromise core programmatic
goals; and
4.Where other special circumstances exist.
To be considered, extension requests must be received no
later than 60 days prior to the end of the Subrecipient’s
period of performance and must contain specific and
compelling justifications as to why an extension is required.
All extension requests must address the following:
1.Grant program, fiscal year, and award number;
2.Reason for delay;
3.Current status of the activity/activities;
4.Approved period of performance termination date and
new project completion date;
5.Amount of funds drawn down to date;
6.Remaining available funds, both federal and non-federal;
24
Section 6 ‒ Post Award Requirements | 2021
Extension
Requests Cont.
7.Budget outlining how remaining federal and non-federal
funds will be expended;
8.Plan for completion, including milestones and timeframes
for each milestone and the position/person responsible
for implementing the plan for completion; and
9.Certification that the activity/activities will be completed
within the extended period of performance without any
modification to the original Statement of Work.
General questions regarding extension requirements and the
Extension Request form should be directed to your Program
Representative. For additional information, please see IB 379.
Extension requests for personnel and salaries do not meet
the requirements of IB 379 and will not be granted.
Subrecipients are expected to complete all grant-funded
personnel activity by the end of the subaward period of
performance.
Progress Reports
on Grant
Extensions
All Subrecipients that receive Cal OES approval to extend
their FY 2021 grant subaward period of performance may be
required to submit progress reports indicating completed
and future project milestones on all extended projects.
Progress reports must be submitted electronically to their
Program Representative. Deadlines for the submission of
progress reports will be established at the time of extension
approval.
Monitoring Cal OES Grants Monitoring actively monitors Subrecipients,
through day-to-day communications, programmatic site
visits, and desk and on-site compliance assessments. The
purpose of the compliance assessment is to ensure
Subrecipients are in compliance with applicable state and
federal regulations, grant guidelines, and programmatic
requirements. Monitoring activities may include, but are not
limited to:
•Verifying that entries recorded on the FMFW categories
are properly supported with source documentation;
•Eligibility of and support for expenditures, typically
covering two to three years of data;
•Comparing actual Subrecipient activities to those
approved in the grant application and subsequent
modifications, including the review of timesheets and
25
Section 6 ‒ Post Award Requirements | 2021
Monitoring Cont. invoices as applicable;
•Procurements and contracts;
•Ensuring equipment lists are properly maintained and
physical inventories are conducted;
•Ensuring advances have been disbursed in accordance
with applicable guidelines; and
•Confirming compliance with:
o Standard Assurances, and
o Information provided on performance reports and
payment requests
NOTE: It is the responsibility of all Subrecipients that pass
down grant funds to other entities, to maintain and utilize a
formal process to monitor the grant activities of their
subawards. This requirement includes, but is not limited to,
on-site verification of grant activities, as required. It is
common for Subrecipients to receive findings in a
programmatic site visit or compliance assessment, which
require a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to be submitted by
Subrecipients. Those Subrecipients who fail to submit a CAP,
as required, shall have a “hold” placed on any future
reimbursements until the “finding” is resolved.
Failure to Submit
Required Reports
Periodic reporting is required by the grant. Subrecipients who
miss a single reporting due date may receive a letter
addressed to their Board of Supervisors informing them of the
failure to report. County OAs and tribes who fail to report
twice in a row may have subsequent awards reduced by 10
percent until timely reporting is reestablished.
Suspension/
Termination
Cal OES may suspend or terminate grant funding, in whole or
in part, or other measures may be imposed for any of the
following reasons:
•Failure to submit required reports.
•Failure to expend funds in a timely manner consistent with
the grant milestones, guidance, and assurances.
•Failure to comply with the requirements or statutory
progress toward the goals or objectives of federal or state
law.
•Failure to make satisfactory progress toward the goals or
objectives set forth in the Subrecipient application.
•Failure to follow Grant Subaward requirements or Special
Conditions.
26
Section 6 ‒ Post Award Requirements | 2021
Suspension/
Termination Cont.
•Proposing or implementing substantial plan changes to
the extent that, if originally submitted, the application
would not have been selected for funding.
•False certification in the application or other document.
•Failure to adequately manage, monitor, or direct the
grant funding activities of their Subrecipients.
Before taking action, Cal OES will provide the Subrecipient
reasonable notice of intent to impose corrective measures
and will make every effort to informally resolve the problem.
Closeout Cal OES will close-out Subrecipient awards when it
determines all applicable administrative actions and all
required work of the federal award have been completed.
Subawards will be closed after:
•Receiving any applicable Subrecipient Performance
Report indicating all approved work has been
completed, and all funds have been distributed;
•All funds have been requested and reimbursed, or
disencumbered;
•Completing a review to confirm the accuracy of
reported information;
•Reconciling actual costs to subawards, modifications and
payments; and
•Verifying the Subrecipient has submitted a final BSIR
showing all grant funds have been expended.
Records
Retention
The records retention period is three years from the date of
the Cal OES Grant Closeout letter, or until any pending
litigation, claim, or audit started before the expiration of the
three-year retention period has been resolved and final
action is taken. The Cal OES Grant Closeout Letter will notify
the Subrecipient of the start of the records retention period
for all programmatic and financial grant-related records.
If the State Administrative Agency award remains open after
the Subrecipient’s submission of the final BSIR, Cal OES will
complete any additional BSIR reporting required under the
award on behalf of the Subrecipient.
27
Section 6 ‒ Post Award Requirements | 2021
Records
Retention Cont.
Closed grants may still be monitored and audited. Failure to
maintain all grant records for the required retention period could
result in a reduction of grant funds, and an invoice to return costs
associated with the unsupported activities.
If documents are retained longer than the required retention
period, FEMA, the DHS Office of Inspector General, Government
Accountability Office, and pass-through entity have the right to
access these records as well. See Title 2 C.F.R. § 200.333 and
200.336.
