EMPG Program Appendix | 2023 Page H-16 whole community. Disparate governance structures must be integrated and refined to ensure resources are targeted to support the most critical needs of a community based on risk-driven, capabilities-based planning. Strong and inclusive governance systems better ensure that disparate funding streams are coordinated and applied for maximum impact. FEMA requires that all governance processes that guide the allocation of preparedness grant funds adhere to the following guiding principles: • Coordination of Investments: Resources must be allocated to address the most critical capability needs as identified in the SPR and coordinated among affected preparedness stakeholders, including appropriate representatives of at-risk, underserved communities. • Transparency: Stakeholders must be provided visibility on how preparedness grant funds are allocated and distributed, and for what purpose. • Substantive Local Involvement: The tools and processes that are used to inform the critical priorities, which FEMA grants support, must include local government representatives. At the state and regional levels, local risk assessments must be included in the overarching analysis to ensure that all threats and hazards are accounted for. Primary focus should be on the needs of socially vulnerable, underserved populations and ensuring equity for those most at risk relative to disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. • Accountability: FEMA recognizes that unique preparedness gaps exist at the local level. Grant recipients are responsible for ensuring the effective use of funds to address those gaps and for maintaining and sustaining existing capabilities, particularly when it comes to serving the needs of at-risk, underserved communities. • Support of Regional Coordination: Inter/intra-state partnerships and dependencies at the state and regional levels, including those within metropolitan areas, must be recognized. Program Performance Reporting Requirements Performance Progress Reports (PPR) Recipients are responsible for providing performance reports to FEMA on a quarterly basis. As explained in the Standardized Programmatic Reporting section below, the quarterly PPRs must be based on the approved EMPG Program Work Plan and are due no later than 30 days after the end of the quarter. Although not mandatory, recipients are encouraged to use the updated FY 2023 EMPG Program Work Plan Template – specifically the Implementation Schedule, Training Data Table, and Exercise Data Table – to report on the status of planned project activities, any risks that may affect project progress or success, and updates to project schedules.
