<br />FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005 <br /> <br />November 23,2005. As this report is due to Congress in February 2006, FY 2006 HSGP <br />funding will be contingent upon States and Urban Areas submitting the plan review <br />template to G&T no later than January 17, 2006. Failure to meet the deadline could <br />adversely affect FY 2006 HSGP awards. <br />· During phase two, teams of subject matter experts will be dispatched to all States and <br />Urban Areas to review emergency operations plans in greater detail and provide technical <br />assistance. Following phase two, DHS will provide a report to the President and <br />Congress with recommended improvements to planning processes, policies and <br />authorities. <br /> <br />D. Capabilities-Based Planning <br /> <br />Implementing a common, shared approach to achieving national preparedness requires the <br />Nation to re-orient its programs and efforts in support of the Goal and the National Priorities. <br />The Goal establishes a vision for preparedness, identifies Target Capabilities, provides a <br />description of each capability, and presents guidance on the levels of capability that Federal, <br />State, local, and Tribal entities will be expected to develop and maintain. Capabilities-based <br />planning is a process by which to achieve the Goal and the capabilities it outlines. Capabilities- <br />based planning is defined as, "planning, under uncertainty, to provide capabilities suitable for a <br />wide range of threats and hazards while working within an economic framework that necessitates <br />prioritization and choice." This planning approach assists leaders at all levels to allocate <br />resources systematically to close capability gaps, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of <br />preparedness efforts. Capabilities-based planning will provide a means for the Nation to achieve <br />the Goal and National Priorities by answering three fundamental questions: "How prepared do <br />we need to be? ", "How prepared are we? ", and "How do we prioritize efforts to close the <br />gap?" At the heart of the Goal and the capabilities-based planning process is the TCL. The <br />capabilities included in the TCL are listed in Figure 1. <br /> <br />Figure 1 - Target Capabilities <br /> <br /> 37 Target Capabilities <br /> Common ResDond Mission Area <br />.Planning .Onsite Incident Management <br />.Communications .Emergency Operation~ Center Management <br />.Risk Management .Critical Resource Logistics and Distribution <br />.CommunitY Preoaredness and Particination .Volunteer Management and Donations <br /> Prevent Mission Area .Responder Safety and Health <br />.Information Gathering & Recognition of Indicators & .Publlc Safety and SecurityResponse <br />Warnings .Animal ~iealth Elllergency Sljpport <br />.Intelligence Analysis and Production .Envlronmental Health <br />.Intelligence I Information Sharing and Dissemination .Explosive Device ResponsecQperatic:ms <br />.Law Enforcement Investigation and Operations .Firefighting Operations/Supp,911 " " <br />.CBRNE Detection .WMD/HazMa~, Res'pons~and"Dec;(j~tamination <br /> Protect Mission Area .Cltizen Protection: Evacuation and/or In~Place Protection <br /> .Isolation and Quarantine <br />.Criticallnfrastructure Protection (CIP) -UrbaflSearch & Res~~,?l <br />.Food & Agriculture Safety & Defense -Emergency Public I~fonnatlon and Warning <br />.Epidemiological Surveillance and Investigation -Triage and,Pre-Hospital Treatment <br />.Public Health Laboratorv Testinn -Medical,Surge <br /> Recover Mission Area .Medical Supplies Management and' Distribution <br />.Structural Damage and Mitigation Assessment .Mass Prophylaxis <br />.Restoration of Lifelines -Mass Care (Sheltering, Feeding, and, Related Services) <br />.Economlc & Communitv Recoverv -Fatalitv Manaaement <br /> <br />PREPAREDNESS DIRI::CTORATE'S OFFICI: OF GRANTS AND TRAINING <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
