Preparedness Grants Manual 12. Emergency Management Performance Grant Program 12.1. Alignment of the Emergency Management Performance Grant Program to the National Preparedness System The EMPG Program contributes to the implementation of the National Preparedness System by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities. Core capabilities are essential for the execution of critical tasks for each of the five mission areas outlined in the Goal. The EMPG Program’s allowable costs support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across the Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission areas described in the Goal. FEMA requires recipients to prioritize grant funding to demonstrate how EMPG Program-funded investments support the following: .Building or sustaining those capabilities that are identified as high priority through the THIRA/SPR process and other relevant information sources, such as: o o o o AARs following exercises or real-world events; Audit and monitoring findings; Hazard Mitigation Plans; and/or, Other deliberate planning products; and .Closing capability gaps that are identified in the state or territory’s most recent SPR. To better understand the relationship between building capabilities and closing capability gaps, refer to CPG 201, Third Edition. In advance of issuing the EMPG Program awards, FEMA Regional Administrators will identify individual regional priorities based on their unique knowledge of each region’s preparedness and emergency management needs and will share those priorities with the states and territories within their region. The final priorities will be identified and mutually agreed to by the state/territory and Regional Administrator through a collaborative negotiation process. Ideally, all EMPG Program-funded projects, as outlined in the approved EMPG Program Work Plan, will support the priorities identified through this collaborative approach. See the EMPG Program Work Plan template in the EMPG Program NOFO for additional guidance. FEMA continues to place emphasis on capabilities that address the greatest risks to the security and resilience of the United States. When applicable, funding should support deployable assets that can be used anywhere in the Nation through automatic assistance and mutual aid agreements, including, but not limited to, the EMAC. The EMPG Program supports investments that improve the ability of jurisdictions nationwide to: . . . Prevent a threatened or an actual act of terrorism; Protect our citizens, residents, visitors, and assets against the greatest threats and hazards; Mitigate the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of future disasters; 94
