The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) - Region 6 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered through FEMA, aimed at strengthening how governments in a region plan and work together before a catastrophic incident occurs. The program is funded under the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-93) and is designed to help jurisdictions move beyond isolated planning by supporting coordinated, regional approaches to catastrophic preparedness.
At its core, this grant focuses on closing known preparedness gaps in two specific capability areas: Housing and Logistics and Supply Chain Management. In practical terms, it supports work that improves a region's ability to address large-scale housing needs after a disaster, including temporary sheltering and longer-term housing solutions, and to manage the movement, staging, and distribution of critical supplies when normal systems are overwhelmed. The program also emphasizes innovation, encouraging applicants to develop and test new regional solutions that make planning and coordination more effective under extreme conditions.
The RCPGP is anchored in the National Response Framework (4th edition, 2019) definition of a catastrophic incident. Under that definition, a catastrophic incident can be natural or human-caused, including acts of terrorism, and is characterized by extraordinary mass casualties, major damage, or severe disruption. These impacts can significantly affect communities and critical infrastructure and can ripple through the environment, economy, public morale, and the functioning of government. Because catastrophic events tend to cross jurisdictional boundaries and create cascading effects, the grant is structured around the idea that prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery all depend on interdependent regional systems and therefore require cohesive regional planning.
Eligibility is limited to governmental entities, specifically state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is disaster prevention and relief, listed under CFDA number 97.111. The opportunity was posted on May 20, 2020, with an original application closing date of July 15, 2020. Awards were expected to be made across roughly 20 recipients, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award. The funding opportunity number associated with this announcement is DHS 20 GPD 111 06 01.
Overall, this Region 6 RCPGP opportunity is meant to help governments build and expand regional collaboration so they can better manage the unique scale and complexity of catastrophic incidents. Rather than focusing on routine disasters, it targets the high-consequence scenarios where local resources are quickly exceeded and where effective outcomes depend on shared plans, coordinated logistics, and integrated housing strategies across multiple jurisdictions.Apply for DHS 20 GPD 111 06 01
