Preparedness Grants Manual . . Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftermath of a catastrophic incident; or Recover through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening, and revitalization of infrastructure, housing, and a sustainable economy as well as the health, social, cultural, historic, and environmental fabric of communities affected by a catastrophic incident. The core capabilities contained in the Goal are highly interdependent and require the use of existing preparedness networks and activities to improve training and exercise programs, innovation, and appropriate administrative, finance, and logistics systems. 12.2. Implementation of the National Preparedness System 12.2.1. IDENTIFYING AND ASSESSING RISK AND ESTIMATING CAPABILITY REQUIREMENTS By Dec. 31, 2022, recipients were required to complete a THIRA/SPR that addresses all 32 core capabilities and is compliant with CPG 201, Third Edition. Recipients are required to submit a THIRA every three years to establish a consistent baseline for assessment. 2022 was the start of the new 3-year THIRA/SPR cycle and baseline assessment year for existing recipients. Any new grant recipients during future CYs, for which the THIRA/SPR requirement applies, will start their new 3-year THIRA/SPR cycle and baseline assessment year in that year. Specific guidance on the requirements for each core capability is provided through program implementation support and supplemental guidance, as some core capabilities have fewer reporting requirements than others. Recipients must continue to respond to a series of planning-related questions as part of the THIRA/SPR process. While the THIRA is only required every three years, jurisdictions are required to submit an SPR annually. The submission deadline is Dec. 31 each year (as applicable). For additional guidance on the THIRA/SPR, please refer to CPG 201, Third Edition. Recipients are also encouraged to refer to the Preparedness Toolkit, which is an online portal that provides the whole community with tools to aid in implementing all six areas of the National Preparedness System. Reporting In each EMPG Program recipient’s BSIR, the recipient must describe how expenditures support building capability, closing capability gaps, or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR process. EMPG Program recipients will, on a project-by-project basis, check one of the following: . . Building a capability with EMPG Program funding; or Sustaining a capability with EMPG Program funding. Building and Sustaining Core Capabilities Recipients must describe how proposed EMPG Program-funded projects will close capability gaps or sustain capabilities identified through the THIRA/SPR process, particularly SPR Step 2 (see CPG 201, Third Edition), or other relevant information sources that identify capability needs. See the EMPG Program Work Plan template in the EMPG Program NOFO for additional guidance and requirements. 95
