About this program
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds emergency preparedness and response capability development for states and local communities proximate to U.S. Army chemical weapons stockpile storage facilities under CFDA 97.040, with the most recent award disbursed on September 9, 2024.
CSEPP augments the Army's Chemical Materials Activity mission to safely store the chemical stockpile while protecting workers, the public, and the environment. The program funds state and local government efforts to enhance emergency preparedness capabilities in communities surrounding the two active U.S. Army chemical weapons storage sites. The program operates under authority of 50 USC 1521, funded through the Department of Defense's chemical demilitarization program with FEMA execution through its National Preparedness Directorate. Work is performed at the national office at FEMA Headquarters and subordinate FEMA regional program offices where chemical installations are located.
Award activity has remained sparse but steady: the program distributed 155 total awards from 1995 through 2024, averaging fewer than three per year in recent years (1 award in 2024, 1 in 2023, 2 in 2022, 3 in 2020, 1 in 2019). Combined federal dollars obligated total $382.3 million. The portfolio is dominated by Cooperative Agreements (100 awards, 65 percent) with Project Grants comprising the remainder (55 awards, 35 percent). FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards account for $244.2 million across 20 awards, while standard FEMA awards total $138 million across 135 awards; both entities operate under the same program.
Representative recent awards include a $16.5 million Cooperative Agreement (September 2024), a $14.7 million Project Grant (July 2023), and a $6.8 million Project Grant (August 2022). Award magnitudes typically range from $5 million to $17 million in recent cycles.
The most recent open solicitation (Solicitation DHS-24-NPD-040-000-99) closed on June 12, 2024, restricted to State Governments, and funded Cooperative Agreements. FEMA posted solicitations annually through mid-2024; no active opportunity currently appears in the source.
