FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURrTY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005 and emergency services to such an extent that national security could be threatened. Catastrophic events result in unique challenges regarding such issues as mass care, search and rescue, victim and fatality management and transportation, public health and medical support, and public information, many of which are also critical issues for terrorism preparedness. Grantees may use UASI funding to achieve or enhance all of the 37 capabilities, as long as they enhance the capability to prevent, protect against, respond to, or recover from acts of terrorism. Grantees should consult the Catastrophic Incident Supplement to the NRP and the planning assumptions upon which it is centered to understand the scope of catastrophic incidents relative to their own prioritization of capabilities and resource allocations. Grantees should focus their proposed FY 2006 Investments on the National Priorities and their most urgent State/local priorities. The FY 2006 UASI program further provides the opportunity to enhance regional preparedness efforts. Urban Areas must employ regional approaches to overall preparedness and are encouraged to adopt regional response structures whenever appropriate to meet the goals identified in the Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. Furthermore, it is G&T's intent to guide State and Urban Area security and preparedness efforts toward a process to address common, measurable objectives. Security and preparedness officials at all levels should seek opportunities to leverage funding from multiple sources whenever possible and not restrict their activities to Federal funding alone. This funding will be provided to identified Urban Area authorities through the SAAs. In some instances Urban Area boundaries cross State borders. States must ensure that the identified Urban Areas take an inclusive regional approach to the development and implementation of the FY 2006 UASI program and involve the contiguous jurisdictions, mutual aid partners, port authorities, rail and transit authorities, State agencies, Citizen Corps Council(s), and MMRS(s) in their program activities. G&T encourages all current and former geographically contiguous Urban Areas to continue existing coordinated and collaborative planning structures and efforts in developing, integrating, and implementing homeland security activities. This includes, but is not limited to, participation on advisory committees and working groups involved in homeland security planning and preparedness processes and activities. B. Program Requirements The State agency with overall responsibility for developing the State Homeland Security Strategy and administering G&T programs will be responsible for the administration of the FY 2006 UASI program. Data Count for FY 2006 UAS] Eligibility Determination: To identify jurisdictions for inclusion in the data count phase, all cities with a population greater than 100,000 and any city with reported threat data during the past year were identified. Cities on this list with shared city boundaries were combined into a single entity for data count purposes. A 10-mile buffer was then drawn from the border of that city or combined entity to establish the geographical area in which data was evaluated.
