HSGP Appendix | 2023 Page A-20 requirements and EHP review can be found online at Environmental & Historic Preservation Guidance for FEMA Grant Applications | FEMA.gov. DHS/FEMA Provided Training and Education FEMA offers tuition-free training and education programs and courses through several providers including the CDP, EMI, and the National Training and Education Division’s Training Partners Program (TPP). TPP includes the Center for Homeland Defense and Security, NDPC, RDPC, and the CTG Program. FEMA’s National Preparedness Course Catalog This online searchable catalog features a wide range of course topics in multiple delivery modes to meet FEMA’s mission scope as well as the increasing training needs of federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal audiences. The catalog can be accessed at NTED | National Preparedness Course Catalog Home (firstrespondertraining.gov). Training Not Provided by DHS/FEMA These trainings include courses that are either state-sponsored or federal-sponsored (non-DHS/FEMA), coordinated and approved by the SAA or their designated TPOC, and fall within the FEMA mission scope to prepare SLTT personnel to prevent, protect against, mitigate, and respond to acts of terrorism or catastrophic events. •State Sponsored Courses. These courses are developed for and/or delivered by institutions or organizations other than federal entities or FEMA and are sponsored by the SAA or their designated TPOC. •Joint Training and Exercises with the Public and Private Sectors. These courses are sponsored and coordinated by private sector entities to enhance public-private partnerships for training personnel to prevent, protect against, mitigate, and respond to acts of terrorism or catastrophic events. In addition, states, territories, tribes, and high-risk urban areas are encouraged to incorporate the private sector in government- sponsored training and exercises. Additional information on both FEMA provided training and other federal and state training can be found at National Training and Education Division (NTED) (firstrespondertraining.gov). Training Information Reporting System (“Web-Forms”) Web-Forms is an electronic data management system built to assist SAA TPOCs and federal agencies with submitting non-National Training and Education Division provided training courses for inclusion in the State/Federal-Sponsored Course Catalog through electronic forms. The information collected is used in a two-step review process to ensure the training programs adhere to the intent of the HSGP guidance and the course content is structurally sound and current. As these programs may be delivered nationwide, it is vital to ensure each training program’s viability and relevance to the Homeland Security mission. Reporting training activities through Web-Forms is not required under present funding. However, the system remains available and can be accessed through the Web-Forms section of the FEMA National Preparedness Course Catalog to support recipients in their own tracking of training deliveries. Users need to request FRTS Admin rights from NTED in order to access the Web-Forms. Exercise Information Recipients that use HSGP funds to conduct an exercise(s) are encouraged to complete a progressive exercise series. Exercises conducted by states and high-risk 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
