FUNDING ELIGIBILTY CRITERIA: ■ Federal funds administered through the State are available to local governments to assist in the cost of developing and maintaining a"Comprehensive Emergency Management"program. Continued EMPG funding is contingent upon completion of all EMPG funding requirements. The following eligibility criteria must be adhered to during FY 2013 for EMPG funds. ■ Every participant must be established as an Emergency Management agency by appropriate county resolution/ordinance; ■ The county must have a full-time or part-time(at least 50%) Emergency Management Program Director; ■ Match Requirement: FY 2013 EMPG funding to locals requires a match requirement of 50% Local (Grantee). Every federal dollar received requires the Grantee to match dollar for dollar. There are two forms of matching sources. One, cash match, includes cash spent for project-related costs, e.g. salaries of emergency management positions. Two, in-kind match, includes, but is not limited to, the valuation of in-kind services. "In-kind" is the value of something received or provided that does not have a cost associated with it. For example, if in-kind match is permitted by law,then the value of donated services could be used to comply with the match requirement. The match funding source for EMPG cannot be matched to any other federal grants. The Grantee will identify to the Grantor the match source on EM Form 66. Recipients of EMPG funding can review the 2013 EMPG Program Funding Opportunity Announcement(FOA), paragraph IV, Funding Restrictions for additional guidance.
