recipients are required to submit an SPR annually. For additional guidance on the THIRA/SPR, please refer to the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 201, Third Edition. Recipients must align THSGP grant investments in building and sustaining capabilities with closing capability gaps and/or sustaining capabilities they identified in their THIRA and SPR. THSGP Appendix | 2023 Page B-2 Reporting on the Implementation of the National Preparedness System By December 31, 2023, any new THSGP recipients during calendar year 2023 are required to complete a THIRA/SPR that addresses all 32 core capabilities and is compliant with the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 201, Third Edition. THSGP recipients must complete every step of the THIRA/SPR for the following eight core capabilities: Cybersecurity; Infrastructure Systems; Mass Care Services; Mass Search and Rescue Operations; On- scene Security, Protection, and Law Enforcement; Operational Communications; Operational Coordination; and Public Information and Warning. For the remaining 24 core capabilities, THSGP recipients are only required to indicate planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise gaps in functional areas related to those capabilities. THSGP recipients may optionally complete additional portions of the THIRA/SPR for these 24 core capabilities. THSGP recipients are required to respond to a series of planning-related questions as part of the THIRA/SPR. THSGP recipients are required to submit a THIRA every three years to establish a consistent baseline for assessment. While the THIRA is only required every three years, THSGP Reporting Requirements •THSGP recipients must submit their THIRA/SPR through the Unified Reporting Tool (URT) on Prep Toolkit no later than December 31 for the years they have open THSGP grant awards. If a recipient has completed closeout for their THSGP grant award period of performance, they do not have to submit any more THIRA/SPR updates as the requirement does not apply to closed awards. While UASIs are not required to complete a THIRA/SPR, it is encouraged. •Calendar year 2022 is the start of the new 3-year THIRA/SPR cycle and baseline assessment year for existing recipients. Any new grant recipients during calendar year 2023, for which the THIRA/SPR requirement applies, will start their new 3-year THIRA/SPR cycle and baseline assessment year in 2023. Please contact FEMA-SPR@fema.dhs.gov if you have questions. •In each THSGP recipient’s Biannual Strategy and Implementation Report (BSIR), as part of programmatic monitoring, recipients will be required to describe how investments support building capability, closing capability gaps, or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR. THSGP recipients will, on a project-by-project basis, check one of the following: o Building a capability with THSGP funding; or o Sustaining a capability with THSGP funding. National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Recipients receiving THSGP funding are required to implement the National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS guides all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations (NGO), and the private sector to work together to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from incidents. NIMS provides stakeholders across the whole community with the shared vocabulary, systems, and processes to successfully deliver the capabilities described in the National Preparedness Goal. THSGP recipients must utilize standardized resource management concepts such as typing, credentialing, and inventorying resources that facilitates the effective identification, dispatch, deployment, tracking and recovery of their resources.
