Major FY 2013 Highlights Building from FY 2012, priorities within each grant program are aligned to support the implementation

of the National Preparedness System in support of building and sustaining core capabilities across the five mission areas and based on allowable costs In recognition of limited resources and in support of the vision of the National Preparedness Grant

Program, each program reflects the Department’s intent to build and sustain an integrated network of national capabilities across all levels of government and the whole community, with the Strengthening Governance Integration program priority To ensure resources are targeted to support the most critical needs of a community based on risk-

driven, capabilities-based estimations and planning, the Threat and Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (THIRA) is prominently noted in most programs, and expands to the Capability Estimation process as a requirement in the larger HSGP portfolio

Grantees are encouraged to build and sustain core capabilities which will include a combination of

organizational resources, equipment, training, and exercises

FEMA/GPD Risk Methodology FEMA utilizes a comprehensive risk methodology to determine the eligibility and target allocations for the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) and the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI). In addition, the Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) and Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) use elements of risk, in conjunction with Transportation Security Agency (TSA) and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) analysis, to determine eligibility and funding amounts. • Relative risk / risk-informed

• Annual risk review process

• 9/11 Act data requirements

• 9/11 Act funding requirements

• Policy decisions

FY 2013 National Preparedness Grant Program (NPGP)

30

Outlines a vision for bold grant program reform Focus on building and sustaining core capabilities identified in the National

Preparedness Goal (NPG) Consolidation of 16 current grant programs into a comprehensive single program

(excluding EMPG and Fire grants) Respects the historical impact EMPG and Fire grants have on grantees, which are intentionally

and directly targeted to support unique emergency management and fire service priorities EMPG is authorized under the Stafford Act for emphasis on all-hazards and to ensure State and

local governments have a trained, professional EM staff NPGP consolidates previous terrorism-focused grants into one new grant program that will be

complemented by EMPG and AFG Consolidation helps drive efficiency in grant investments while operating in a constrained budget

environment Building a robust national preparedness capacity based on cross-jurisdictional and

readily deployable State and local capabilities Funding allocations based on filling gaps in national preparedness, prioritized core

capabilities, and comprehensive threat/risk assessments and gap analyses Ensuring the grant funded expenditures are contributing to national preparedness
