HSGP Appendix | 2023 Page A-22 •High-risk urban areas that receive UASI funding will submit their THIRA/SPR through the URT on Prep Toolkit no later than December 31 for the years they have UASI open grants. If a UASI recipient has completed closeout for their UASI grant award period of performance, they do not have to submit a THIRA/SPR as the requirement is not applicable to closed grant awards. While UASIs that have completed closeout for the award period of performance 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. States, territories, and high-risk urban areas should work collaboratively to create the most accurate THIRA and SPR possible. States, territories, and high-risk urban areas may share scenarios, targets, and assessed capabilities when appropriate. •Please contact FEMA-SPR@fema.dhs.gov if you have questions. Building and Sustaining Capabilities States, territories, and high-risk urban areas must prioritize and align SHSP and UASI grant funding investments in building and sustaining capabilities in areas that align with the national priorities in the annual HSGP NOFO and capability gaps identified in their THIRA and SPR. Reporting In each HSGP recipient’s Biannual Strategy and Implementation Report (BSIR), as part of programmatic monitoring, the recipient must describe how expenditures support building capability, closing capability gaps, or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA and SPR. HSGP recipients must, on a project-by- project basis, check one of the following: •Building a capability with HSGP funding; and •Sustaining a capability with HSGP funding. National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Recipients receiving HSGP funding are required to implement 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 System. HSGP recipients must use standardized resource management concepts for resource typing, credentialing, and an inventory to facilitate the effective identification, dispatch, deployment, tracking, and recovery of resources. The NIMS Implementation Objectives for Local, State, Tribal, and Territorial Jurisdictions clarify the NIMS implementation requirements in FEMA preparedness grant NOFOs. As recipients and subrecipients of federal preparedness (non-disaster) grant awards, jurisdictions and organizations must achieve, or be actively working to achieve, all of the NIMS Implementation Objectives. The objectives can be found on the NIMS webpage at NIMS Implementation and Training | FEMA.gov. Reporting •Recipients report in the applicable secondary NIMS assessment portion of the URT as part of their THIRA/SPR submission, as outlined in the HSGP NOFO. Planning to Deliver Capabilities Recipients shall develop and maintain, jurisdiction-wide, all threats and hazards EOPs consistent with Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101, Version 2.0 (CPG 101 v2), Developing and Maintaining
