HSGP Appendix | 2023 Page A-23 Emergency Operations Plans (November 2010). Recipients must update their EOPs at least once every two years. Reporting •Recipients report EOP compliance with CPG 101 v2 by completing the secondary CPG-101 assessment as part of their THIRA/SPR submission in the URT. Validating Capabilities All recipients will develop and maintain a progressive exercise program consistent with HSEEP guidance in support of the NEP. The NEP serves as the principal exercise mechanism for examining national preparedness and measuring readiness. The NEP is a two-year cycle of exercises across the nation that validates capabilities in all preparedness mission areas. The two-year NEP cycle is guided by Principals’ Strategic Priorities, established by the National Security Council, and informed by preparedness data from jurisdictions across the Nation. To develop and maintain a progressive exercise program consistent with HSEEP and in support of the NEP, recipients should engage senior leaders and other whole community stakeholders to identify preparedness priorities. These priorities should be informed by various factors, including jurisdiction- specific threats and hazards (i.e., the THIRA); areas for improvement identified by real-world events and exercises; external requirements such as state or national preparedness reports, homeland security policy, and industry reports; and accreditation standards, regulations, or legislative requirements. Recipients should document these priorities and use them to deploy a schedule of preparedness events in a multi-year IPP. Information related to Integrated Preparedness Planning Workshops (IPPWs) can be found on the HSEEP website at Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program | FEMA.gov and Welcome - Preparedness Toolkit (fema.gov). The NEP provides exercise sponsors the opportunity to receive exercise design and delivery assistance, tools and resources, enhanced coordination, and the ability to directly influence and inform policy and preparedness programs. If you have any questions, or would like to request assistance through the NEP, please visit the NEP website at Exercises | FEMA.gov, or reach out to the National Exercise Program directly at NEP@fema.dhs.gov. •Recipients must have a current multi-year IPP that identifies preparedness priorities and activities. The current multi-year IPP must be submitted to hseep@fema.dhs.gov before January 31 of each year: o Recipients are encouraged to enter their exercise information into the Preparedness Toolkit at Welcome - Preparedness Toolkit (fema.gov). •Recipients must submit After-Action Report (AAR)/Improvement Plans (IPs) to hseep@fema.dhs.gov and indicate which fiscal year’s funds were used (if applicable); •Submission of AAR/IPs must take place within 90 days following completion of the single exercise or progressive series: o Recipients are encouraged to submit AAR/IPs reflecting tabletop exercises that validate critical plans or those reflecting large-scale functional or full-scale exercises that took place at the state, territorial, tribal, or UASI level. Recipients are discouraged from submitting AAR/IPs specific to local jurisdictions that reflect drills; o If a recipient endures a significant real-world incident during the calendar year that delays or prevents conduct of a grant-funded exercise, they can submit the AAR from that event in place of the exercise AARs. Jurisdictions submitting real world AARs should include an explanation with the AAR submission to hseep@fema.dhs.gov; and
