AlLichmcnt A FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM available at http://www.oip.usdoi.gov/FinGuide/. DHS administers cost sharing requirements in accordance with 44 CFR 13.24, which is located at http://a257.ci.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/04nov2003l500/edocket accessgpo gov/cfr 2 003/octqtr/44cfrl3.24.htm. ProgramC. ODP does not require a specific number of activities or projects but expects that the statement of work proposed will be proportionate to the level of the state emergency management program and of appropriate emergency management components, as evidenced by the EMAP assessment, other hazards/vulnerability and needs assessments, the mitigation plan, post -disaster reviews, corrective actions programs, and the EMPG funding appointed to those tasks. EMPG is a consolidated grant, which originally included programs that provided formula and project grants. The current program is primarily a formula grant providing support for essential expenses including salaries, benefits, equipment, supplies, maintenance of facilities, and other necessary costs of state and local emergency management departments and agencies. The normal capability -building program activities of the state and local emergency management organizations should be described in the program narrative, categorized by emergency management functions as described above. Special projects are also allowable under EMPG, as they were under several of the original constituent programs. Such projects may be included within the framework of the emergency management functions or presented separately. A state's EMPG should establish the framework for accountability, which should be based on results, not processes. In order to develop a results -oriented program, a state should be able to answer the following questions: • What are we trying to achieve or what is the problem needing a solution? • How will we get there? • How will we know if we are getting there? Once the state selects the issue it would like to address, it can determine the issue -related goal (the desired outcome), the strategies it will pursue to achieve the goal, and how it will recognize progress in achieving the outcome. Grantees must maintain and expand any necessary capabilities to have an effective emergency management program. These capabilities must be able to address all - hazards emergencies. ODP will work with the states as necessary to ensure that proposed goals, objectives, and projections of accomplishments include, or provide for the development of, appropriate baselines, tracking methodology(ies), and reporting mechanisms.
