Attachment A HOMELAND SECURITY PREPAREDNESS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM • LEVEL THREE: Delivery of rigorous, customized solutions through direct, on-site support. Training, guidance, and facilitation efforts maximize direct interaction between TA providers and TA recipients to ensure the successful implementation of the most complex initiatives. Level Three delivery methods include: a. On-site Specific Training b. Train -the -trainer Programs c. Guidance d. Facilitation of Workshops and Meetings Prevention, response, and recovery, as outlined in HSPD-8, December 2003, are defining elements of the Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program, and serve as the foundation for all TA services. As a result, the HSPTAP is divided into three sections that correspond with these preparedness objectives: • Prevention: Detect, deter, and mitigate threats to our homeland. • Response: Lead, manage, and coordinate the national response to acts of terrorism, natural disasters, or other emergencies. • Recovery: Lead national, state, local, and private sector efforts to restore services and rebuild communities after acts of terrorism. C. How to Request Technical Assistance All state and local jurisdiction requests for technical assistance must be made in writing and sent through the SAA to ODP for approval, coordination, and execution. (1) State and local jurisdictions applying for TA must submit a written request (e- mail is acceptable) to their SAA. In order to expedite the TA request process, the requestor can use the TA Service Request' form (found in the online catalog). This form can serve as the formal TA request. (2) The SAA evaluates the request to ensure concurrence with the state's strategy goals and objectives. (3) If the SAA determines the request is in-line with the strategy, the SAA sends the request to the appropriate ODP Preparedness Officer. (4) Following a final review, the Preparedness Officer forwards the request to the appropriate ODP TA Managers. D.
