each assume the full liability imposed upon it or upon any of its officers, agents,
or employees by law, for injury caused by a negligent or wrongful act or omission
occurring in the performance of this Agreement, to the same extent that such
liability would be imposed in the absence of Government Code Section 895.2.
To achieve the above-stated purpose, each party agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the other party for any liability arising out of its own negligent acts or
omissions in the performance of this Agreement (i.e., the Subrecipient agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the County of Los Angeles for liability arising out of
Grants/SHSP 2015/Subrecipient Agreements/EI Segundo Page 11
Agreement No. 5269
the Subrecipient's negligent or wrongful acts or omissions and the County of Los
Angeles agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Subrecipient for liability
arising out of the County of Los Angeles' negligent or wrongful acts or
omissions). Each party further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other
party for liability that is imposed on the other party solely by virtue of Government
Code Section 895.2. The provisions of Section 2778 of the California Civil Code
are made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. Subrecipient certifies that it
has adequate self-insured retention of funds to meet any obligation arising from
this Agreement.
§409. Conflict of Interest

agents may participate in selecting, or administrating, any subcontract supported
(in whole or in part) by Federal funds where such person is a director, officer,
employee or agent of the subcontractor; or where the selection of subcontractors
is or has the appearance of being motivated by a desire for personal gain for

organization has a financial interest in the subcontract;
2. The subcontractor is someone with whom such person has or is
negotiating any prospective employment; or
3. The participation of such person would be prohibited by the California
Political Reform Act, California Government Code §87100 et seq. if such

or other interest" in the subcontract.

1, The term "immediate family" means domestic partner and/or those
persons related by blood or marriage, such as husband, wife, father,
mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, father in law, mother in law, brother

partnership interest or other beneficial interest of five percent or

may solicit or accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from any
actual or potential subcontractor, supplier, a party to a sub agreement, (or
persons who are otherwise in a position to benefit from the actions of any officer,
employee, or agent).
D. The Subrecipient may not subcontract with a former director, officer, or employee
within a one year period following the termination of the relationship between
said person and the Subrecipient.

Subrecipient must disclose to the County of Los Angeles any relationship,
financial or otherwise, direct or indirect, of the Subrecipient or any of its officers,
directors or employees or their immediate family with the proposed subcontractor
and its officers, directors or employees.

Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1990, the city of El Segundo
(your agency)
accordingly provides this statement of compliance.
In order to maintain funding eligibility, state agencies, along with those in receipt of grant and contractual
awards, must certify that they provide drug-free workplaces and have issued drug-free workplace statements

this statement is issued to meet this requirement.
The City of E1 Segundo (your agency), an agency within the State of California has adopted this

with legislation which addresses issues to avoid the dangers arising from drug and
alcohol abuse in the workplace. These dangers include death and injury to the employee, co-workers, or the
public resulting from accidents, dereliction of duty, poor judgment and carelessness. Substance abuse also
results in lost productivity, reduced efficiency, and increased absenteeism by the substance abuser and
interferes with the job performance of employees who do not use illegal or unauthorized substances. [Section
8355(b)(1)]
California law prohibits the unlawful manufacture, dispensation, possession, or illegal use of a controlled
substance. That prohibition extends to all places and includes the worksite of California state employees.
[Section 8355(a)]
Employees convicted of a violation of criminal drug statute, when the violation occurred at an employee's
worksite, shall report the conviction to the granting and monitoring State agency upon conviction. (Section
8356(a)(1)(2)]
In the event of the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or illegal use of a controlled
substance at a State worksite, the State may take disciplinary action pursuant to the law and/or require the
satisfactory completion of a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program. [Section 8355(b)(4)]
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides drug problem assessment and referral to appropriate
counseling and rehabilitation services. The EAP is available to all agency employees. Procedures exist to
ensure the confidentiality of EAP records. Contact your personnel office for further information.
It is the intent of the City of El Segundo (your agency)to ensure by execution of this statement of
compliance that each employee shall abide by the farms of this drug-free workplace statement. [Section

Appendix C - Funding Guidelines
Recipients must comply with all the requirements in 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards).
In general, recipients should consult with their Headquarters Program Analyst prior to making
any investment that does not clearly meet the allowable expense criteria established by the
NOFO. Funding guidelines established within this section support the five mission areas—
Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery—and associated core capabilities
within the Goal.
Allowable investments made in support of the HSGP priorities as well as other capability-
enhancing projects must fall into the categories of planning, organization, exercises, training, or
equipment.
Continuity of Operations
FEMA is designated as the Department of Homeland Security's lead agency for managing the
nation's Continuity Program. To support this role, FEMA provides direction and guidance to
assist in developing capabilities for continuing the Federal and state,territorial, Tribal, and local
(STTL) government jurisdictions and private sector organizations' essential functions across a
broad spectrum of emergencies.
National Security Presidential Directive 51,National Security Presidential Directive 20, the
National Continuity Policy Implementation Plan(NCPIP), the Federal Continuity Directive
I(FCD 1), and Continuity Guidance Circular 1 (CGC 1), and CGC 2 outline the following
overarching continuity requirements for agencies and organizations and provide guidance,
methodology, and checklists. For additional information on continuity programs, guidance, and
directives, visit lrptp.//L�Ls:':91'J
or you may contact your 1?(,v'c°nal (."'rrwhrr. ih' , Mq,21fl.gLI".
Planning(SHSP and UASI only)
SHSP and UASI funds may be used for a range of emergency preparedness and management
planning activities and such as those associated with the development of the THIRA, SPR,
continuity of operations plans and other planning activities that support the Goal and placing an
emphasis on updating and maintaining a current EOP that conforms to the guidelines outlined in
CPG 101 v 2.0.
Organization (SHSP and UASI Only)
Organizational activities include:
• Program management;
• Development of whole community partnerships, through groups such as Citizen Corp
Councils;
• Structures and mechanisms for information sharing between the public and private sector;
50
Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines
Agreement No. 5269
+ Implementing models,programs, and workforce enhancement initiatives to address
ideologically-inspired radicalization to violence in the homeland;
• Tools, resources and activities that facilitate shared situational awareness between the
public and private sectors;
• Operational Support;
• Utilization of standardized resource management concepts such as typing, inventorying,
organizing, and tracking to facilitate the dispatch, deployment, and recovery of resources
before, during, and after an incident;
• Responding to an increase in the threat level under the National Terrorism Advisory
System(NTAS), or needs in resulting from a National Special Security Event; and
• Paying salaries and benefits for personnel to serve as qualified intelligence analysts.
States and Urban Areas must justify proposed expenditures of SHSP or UASI funds to support
organization activities within their U submission. All SAAs are allowed to utilize up to 50
percent(50%) of their SHSP funding and all Urban Areas are allowed up to 50 percent(50%) of
their UASI funding for personnel costs. At the request of a recipient of a grant,the FEMA
Administrator may grant a waiver of the 50 percent(50%) limitation noted above. Requests for
waivers to the personnel cap must be submitted by the authorized representative of the SAA (or
recipient agency)to GPD in writing on official letterhead, with the following information:
• Documentation explaining why the cap should be waived;
• Conditions under which the request is being submitted; and
• A budget and method of calculation of personnel costs both in percentages of the grant award
and in total dollar amount. To avoid supplanting issues, the request must also include a three-
year staffing history for the requesting entity.
Organizational activities under SHSP and UASI include:
• Intelligence analysts. Per the Personnel Reimbursement for Intelligence Cooperation
and Enhancement(PRICE) of Homeland Security Act(Pub. L. No. 110-412), SHSP and
UASI funds may be used to hire new staff and/or contractor positions to serve as
intelligence analysts to enable information/intelligence sharing capabilities, as well as
support existing intelligence analysts previously covered by SHSP or UASI funding. In
order to be hired as an intelligence analyst, staff and/or contractor personnel must meet at
least one of the following criteria:
- Successfully complete training to ensure baseline proficiency in intelligence
analysis and production within six months of being hired; and/or,
- Previously served as an intelligence analyst for a minimum of two years either in
a Federal intelligence agency, the military, or state and/or local law enforcement
intelligence unit
As identified in the priority entitled,Maturation and Enhancement of State and Major Urban
Area Fusion Centers, all fusion center analytic personnel must demonstrate qualifications that
meet or exceed competencies identified in the Common Competencies for State, Local, and
Tribal Intelligence Analysts, which outlines the minimum categories of training needed for
intelligence analysts. A certificate of completion of such training must be on file with the SAA
51
Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines
Agreement No. 5269
and must be made available to the recipient's respective Headquarters Program Analyst upon
request. In addition to these training requirements, fusion centers should also continue to mature
their analytic capabilities by addressing gaps in analytic capability identified during the fusion
center's annual assessment.
• Overtime costs. Overtime costs are allowable for personnel to participate in information,
investigative, and intelligence sharing activities specifically related to homeland security
and specifically requested by a Federal agency. Allowable costs are limited to overtime
associated with Federally requested participation in eligible fusion activities, including anti-
terrorism task forces, Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs),Area Maritime Security
Committees (as required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002), DHS Border
Enforcement Security Task Forces, and Integrated Border Enforcement Teams. Grant
funding can only be used in proportion to the Federal man-hour estimate, and only after
funding for these activities from other Federal sources (i.e., FBI JTTF payments to state and
local agencies)has been exhausted. Under no circumstances should DHS/FEMA grant
funding be used to pay for costs already supported by funding from another Federal source.
• Operational overtime costs. In support of efforts to enhance capabilities for detecting,
deterring, disrupting, and preventing acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events,
operational overtime costs are allowable for increased security measures at critical
infrastructure sites. SHSP or UASI funds for organizational costs may be used to support
select operational expenses associated with increased security measures at critical
infrastructure sites in the following authorized categories:
- Backfill and overtime expenses for staffing state or Major Urban Area fusion
centers;
- Hiring of contracted security for critical infrastructure sites;
- Participation in Regional Resiliency Assessment Program activities;
- Public safety overtime;
- Title 32 or state Active Duty National Guard deployments to protect critical
infrastructure sites, including all resources that are part of the standard National
Guard deployment package (Note: Consumable costs, such as fuel expenses, are
not allowed except as part of the standard National Guard deployment package);
and
- Increased border security activities in coordination with CBP
SHSP or UASI funds may only be spent for operational overtime costs upon prior approval
provided in writing by the FEMA Administrator per the instructions in II3 379.
Note: States with UASI jurisdictions can use funds retained at the state level to reimburse
eligible operational overtime expenses incurred by the state (per the above guidance limitations
and up to a maximum of 50 percent(50%) of the state share of the UASI grant). Any UASI
funds retained by the state must be used in direct support of the Urban Area. States must
provide documentation to the UAWG and DHS/FEMA upon request demonstrating how any
UASI funds retained by the state would directly support the Urban Area.

Equipment(SHSP and UASI)
The 21 allowable prevention,protection, mitigation, response, and recovery equipment
categories and equipment standards for HSGP are listed on the Authorized Equipment List
(AEL) The AEL is available in PDF format at /rCd'lls ,11".II°ba„f�,°rr���.syi:IphIIrr dia-
lBa Unless otherwise stated, equipment must meet all mandatory
regulatory and/or DHS/FEMA-adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using these funds.
In addition, agencies will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all necessary
certifications and licenses for the requested equipment.
Grant funds may be used for the procurement of medical countermeasures. Procurement of
medical countermeasures must be conducted in collaboration with state/city/local health
departments who administer Federal funds from HHS for this purpose and with existing MMRS
committees where available, in order to sustain their long term planning for appropriate,rapid,
and local medical countermeasures, including antibiotics and antidotes for nerve agents, cyanide,
and other toxins. Procurement must have a sound threat based justification with an aim to reduce
the consequences of mass casualty incidents during the first crucial hours of a response. Prior to
procuring pharmaceuticals, recipients must have in place an inventory management plan to avoid
large periodic variations in supplies due to coinciding purchase and expiration dates. Recipients
are encouraged to enter into rotational procurement agreements with vendors and distributors.
Purchases of pharmaceuticals must include a budget for the disposal of expired drugs within each
fiscal year's period of performance for HSGP. The cost of disposal cannot be carried over to
another DHS/FEMA grant or grant period.
Training(SHSP and UASI)
Allowable training-related costs under HSGP include the establishment, support, conduct, and
attendance of training specifically identified under the SHSP and UASI programs and/or in
conjunction with emergency preparedness training by other Federal agencies (e.g., HHS and
DOT). Training conducted using HSGP funds should address a performance gap identified
through an AAR/IP or other assessments (e.g.,National Emergency Communications Plan NECP
Goal Assessments) and contribute to building a capability that will be evaluated through a formal
exercise. Any training or training gaps, including those for children, older adults, pregnant
women, and individuals with disabilities and others who also have or access and functional
needs, should be identified in the AAR/IP and addressed in the state or Urban Area training
cycle. Recipients are encouraged to use existing training rather than developing new courses.
When developing new courses, recipients are encouraged to apply the Analysis, Design,
Development, Implementation and Evaluation model of instructional design using the Coury
Exercises (SHSP and UASI)
Exercises conducted with grant funding should be managed and conducted consistent with
HSEEP. HSEEP guidance for exercise design, development, conduct, evaluation, and
improvement planning is located att;ati°.
Maintenance and Sustainment(SHSP, UASI, and OPSG)
The use of DHS/FEMA preparedness grant funds for maintenance contracts, warranties, repair or
replacement costs,upgrades, and user fees are allowable, as described in FEMA Policy FP 205-
53
Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines
Agreement No. 5269
402-l2.5„-„l under all active and future grant awards,unless otherwise noted. With the exception
of maintenance plans purchased incidental to the original purchase of the equipment, the period
covered by maintenance or warranty plan must not exceed the period of performance of the
specific grant funds used to purchase the plan or warranty.
Grant funds are intended to support the Goal by funding projects that build and sustain the core
capabilities necessary to prevent,protect against, mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover
from those threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation. In order to provide
recipients the ability to meet this objective,the policy set forth in GPD's IB 379 (Guidance to
State Administrative Agencies to Expedite the Expenditure of Certain DHS/FEMA Grant
Funding) allows for the expansion of eligible maintenance and sustainment costs which must be
in 1) direct support of existing capabilities; (2)must be an otherwise allowable expenditure under
the applicable grant program; (3)be tied to one of the core capabilities in the five mission areas
contained within the Goal, and(4) shareable through the Emergency Management Assistance
Compact. Additionally, eligible costs must also be in support of equipment, training, and critical
resources that have previously been purchased with either Federal grant or any other source of
funding other than DHS/FEMA preparedness grant program dollars.
Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Allowable Costs (SHSP and UASI)
Activities eligible for use of LETPA focused funds are outlined in the National Prevention
h),araxc irorlti (and where capabilities are shared with the protection mission area, the National
Protection Framework) and include but are not limited to:

• Implementation of the "If You See Something, Say SomethingTM” campaign to raise
public awareness of indicators of terrorism and terrorism-related crime and associated
efforts to increase the sharing of information with public and private sector partners,
including nonprofit organizations. Note: DHS/FEMA requires that the Office of Public
Affairs be given the opportunity to review and approve any public awareness materials
(e.g., videos,posters, tri-folds, etc.) developed using HSGP grant funds for the "If You
See Something, Say SomethingTM" campaign to ensure these materials are consistent with
the Department's messaging and strategy for the campaign and the initiative's trademark;
• Training for countering violent extremism; development, implementation, and/or
expansion of programs to engage communities that may be targeted by violent extremist
radicalization; and the development and implementation of projects to partner with local

Implementation Plan(SIP) to the National Strategy on Empowering Local Partners to
Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States; and
Increase physical security, through law enforcement personnel and other protective
measures by implementing preventive and protective measures at critical infrastructure
site or at-risk nonprofit organizations.
Critical Emergency Supplies (SHSP and UASI)
In order to further DHS/FEMA' mission, critical emergency supplies, such as shelf stable
products, water, and basic medical supplies are an allowable expense under SHSP and UASI.
Prior to the allocation of grant funds for stockpiling purposes, each state must have
DHS/FEMA's approval of a five-year viable inventory management plan which should include a
distribution strategy and related sustainment costs if planned grant expenditure is over$100,000.
If grant expenditures exceed the minimum threshold, the five-year inventory management plan
will be developed by the recipient and monitored by FEMA GPD with the assistance of the
FEMA Logistics Management Directorate (LMD). FEMA GPD will coordinate with LMD and
the respective FEMA Region to provide program oversight and technical assistance as it relates
to the purchase of critical emergency supplies under UASI. FEMA GPD and LMD will establish
guidelines and requirements for the purchase of these supplies under UASI and monitor
development and status of the state's inventory management plan.
States (through their Emergency Management Office) are strongly encouraged to consult with
their respective FEMA Regional Logistics Chief regarding disaster logistics-related issues.
States are further encouraged to share their DHS/FEMA approved plan with local jurisdictions
and Tribes.
Construction and Renovation(SHSP and UASI)
Project construction using SHSP and UASI funds may not exceed the greater of$1,000,000 or
15 percent (15%) of the grant award. For the purposes of the limitations on funding levels,

OPSG funds may not be used for any type of construction.
Personnel (SHSP and UASI)
Personnel hiring, overtime, and backfill expenses are permitted under this grant in order to
perform allowable HSGP planning, training, exercise, and equipment activities. Personnel may
include but are not limited to: training and exercise coordinators, program managers for activities
directly associated with SHSP and UASI funded activities, intelligence analysts, and statewide
interoperability coordinators (SWIC).
For further details, SAAB should refer to IB# 358,
or contact their Headquarters
Program Analyst.
HSGP funds may not be used to support the hiring of any personnel for the purposes of fulfilling
traditional public health and safety duties or to supplant traditional public health and safety
positions and responsibilities.
The following are definitions as it relates to personnel costs:
• Hiring. State and local entities may use grant funding to cover the salary of newly hired
personnel who are exclusively undertaking allowable /DHSFEMA program activities as
specified in this guidance. This may not include new personnel who are hired to fulfill
any non-DHS/FEMA program activities under any circumstances. Hiring will always
result in a net increase of Full Time Equivalent(FTE) employees.
w Overtime. These expenses are limited to the additional costs which result from personnel
working over and above 40 hours of weekly work time as a direct result of their
performance of DHS/FEMA-approved activities specified in this guidance. Overtime
associated with any other activity is not eligible.
• Back:ftll-related Overtime. Also called"Overtime as Backfill,"these expenses are limited
to overtime costs which result from personnel who are working overtime (as identified
above) to perform the duties of other personnel who are temporarily assigned to
DHS/FEMA-approved activities outside their core responsibilities. Neither overtime nor
backfill expenses are the result of an increase of FTE employees.
• Supplanting. Grant funds will be used to supplement existing funds, and will not replace
(supplant) funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose. Applicants or
recipients may be required to supply documentation certifying that a reduction in non-
Federal resources occurred for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt of
Federal funds.
56
Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines
Agreement No. 5269
Operational Packages (OPacks) (SHSP and UASI)
Applicants may elect to pursue operational package (OPack) funding, such as Canine Teams,
Mobile Explosive Screening Teams, and Anti-Terrorism Teams, for new capabilities as well as
to sustain existing OPacks. Applicants must commit to minimum training standards to be set by
the Department for all Federally-funded security positions. Applicants must also ensure that the
capabilities are able to be deployable,through EMAC, outside of their community to support
regional and national efforts. When requesting new OPacks-related projects, applicants must
demonstrate the need for developing a new capability at the expense of sustaining existing core
capability.
Western Hemispheric Travel Initiative (SHSP)
In addition to the expenditures outlined above, SHSP funds may be used to support the
implementation activities associated with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI),
including the issuance of WHTI-compliant Tribal identification cards. More information on the
WHTI maybe found at 1rsPrM,sr�ra °raa°rammc�! (,!(dr'�l:�i �(r..v/adrrx or
00) Ha i ac.gC
Other Secure Identification Initiatives (SHSP)
SHSP funds may also be used to support the Department's additional efforts to enhance secure
identification, including driver's license and identification security enhancements. Activities that
facilitate secure identification, including IT enhancements for identification management and
verification systems are a priority. DHS/FEMA is currently developing and implementing a
number of screening programs in which secure identification credentials figure prominently.
These include the Transportation Worker Identification Credential(TWIC)program which
promotes tamper-resistant biometric credentials for workers who require unescorted access to
secure areas of ports,vessels, outer continental shelf facilities, and all credentialed merchant
mariners; and the credentialing of first responders which entails enhancing real-time electronic
authentication of identity and attribute(s) (qualification, certification, authorization, and/or
privilege) of emergency response/critical government personnel responding to terrorist attacks or
other catastrophic events.
States may continue implementing activities previously funded through the Driver's License
Security Grant Program (DLSGP)that focus on securing driver's license and identification card
issuance processes. Initiatives related to securing identification should:
• Have the greatest impact upon reducing the issuance and use of fraudulent driver's
license and identification cards;
• Reduce the cost of program implementation for individuals, states, and the Federal
government;
• Driver's license identification material requirements;
• Expedite state progress toward meeting minimum security standards; and
• Plan and expedite state-specific activities to support Federal data and document
verification requirements and standards.

Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines
Agreement No. 5269
Operations (OPSG)
The intent of OPSG is to focus on operational aspects of enhancing coordination between
Federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to increase the security of
the United States Borders.
• Operational Overtime. OPSG funds may be used for operational overtime costs
associated with law enforcement activities, in support of border law enforcement agencies
for increased border security enhancement. At the request of a recipient, the FEMA
Administrator may waive the 50 percent(50%)personnel cap. Waiver decisions are at the
discretion of the FEMA Administrator and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. A
formal OPSG personnel waiver request should:
- Be requested on official letterhead, include a written justification, and be signed
by the local jurisdiction;
- Include a budget and method of calculation of personnel costs both in percentage
of the grant award and in total dollar amount;
- Include an approved Operations Order from the USBP Sector office which
supports the local jurisdiction's written justification; and
- Be coordinated with the USBP Sector, SAA, and OBP.
• Part Time Personnel. OPSG funds may be used to pay additional current part time law
enforcement personnel salaries in order to bring them to temporary full time status.
• Travel, Per Diem, and Lodging. Travel and per diem include costs associated with the
deployment/redeployment of personnel to border areas and for travel associated with law
enforcement entities assisting other local jurisdictions in law enforcement activities. In
addition, costs to support up to six month deployment of law enforcement personnel to
critical Southwest Border locations to support operational activities (travel costs must be
in accordance with applicable travel regulations).

Additional Planning Information
FEMA's National Preparedness Directorate (NPD) offers technical assistance (TA) that is
designed to provide recipients and sub-recipients with specialized expertise to improve their
emergency plans and planning. TA deliveries are designed specifically to improve and enhance
the continuing development of state and local emergency management across the five mission
areas of the National Preparedness Goal and across all core capabilities. TA provides the
opportunity to engage emergency managers, emergency planners, and appropriate decision-
makers in open discussion of options to improve plans and planning in light of their
jurisdiction's needs. There is no cost to approved jurisdictions for DHS/FEMA TA.
TA deliveries combine current emergency management best practices with practical
consideration of emerging trends,through discussion facilitated by DHS/FEMA contract
specialists and with the support of FEMA Region operational specialists. While the invitation of
participants is up to the requesting jurisdiction, DHS/FEMA encourages requesting jurisdictions
to include the broadest practical range of its emergency managers and planners in all TA
deliveries. TA deliveries should be made open to neighboring jurisdictions. As necessary,
DHS/FEMA may also invite other Federal experts and practitioners to participate. Additionally,
peer-to-peer representation may also be included from other jurisdictions that have recently used
TA for the same planning issue.
The TA catalog, showing the full range of TA available across all five mission areas and by all
providers, and the TA request form can be accessed at http://www.fema.gov/national-incident-
management-system/fema-technical-assistance-division.

Additional Exercise Information
Recipients that decide to use HSGP funds to conduct an exercise(s) are encouraged to complete a
progressive exercise series. Exercises conducted by states and Urban Areas may be used to
fulfill similar exercise requirements required by other grant programs. Recipients are
encouraged to invite representatives/planners involved with other Federally-mandated or private
exercise activities. States and Urban Areas are encouraged to share, at a minimum,the multi-
year training and exercise schedule with those departments, agencies, and organizations included
in the plan.
• Exercise Scenarios. The scenarios used in HSGP-funded exercises must be based on the
state/Urban Area's THIRA and SPR. The scenarios used in HSGP-funded exercises must
focus on validating capabilities, must be large enough in scope and size to exercise
multiple activities and warrant involvement from multiple jurisdictions and disciplines
and non-governmental organizations, and take into account the needs and requirements
for individuals with disabilities. Exercise scenarios should align with priorities and
capabilities identified in the Multi-year TEP.
• Special Event Planning. If a state or Urban Area will be hosting a special event(e.g.,
Super Bowl, G-8 Summit), the special event planning should be considered as a training
or exercise activity for the purpose of the Multi-year TEP. The state or Urban Area
should plan to use SHSP or UASI funding to finance training and exercise activities in
preparation for those events. States and Urban Areas should also consider exercises at
major venues (e.g., arenas, convention centers) that focus on evacuations,
communications, and command and control.
• Regional Exercises. States should also anticipate participating in at least one Regional
Exercise annually. States must include all confirmed or planned special events in the
Multi-year TEP.
• Role of Non-Governmental Entities in Exercises. Non-governmental participation in all
levels of exercises is strongly encouraged. Leaders from non-governmental entities
should be included in the planning, design, and evaluation of an exercise. State, local,
Tribal, and territorial jurisdictions are encouraged to develop exercises that test the
integration and use of non-governmental resources provided by non-governmental
entities, defined as the private sector and private non-profit, faith-based, community,
participation in exercises should be coordinated with the local Citizen Corps Council(s)
or their equivalent and other partner agencies.
Unauthorized Exercise Costs
Unauthorized exercise-related costs include:
• Reimbursement for the maintenance and/or wear and tear costs of general use vehicles
(e.g., construction vehicles), medical supplies, and emergency response apparatus (e.g.,
fire trucks, ambulances).
• Equipment that is purchased for permanent installation and/or use, beyond the scope of
the conclusion of the exercise (e.g., electronic messaging signs).
