exercise program priorities and develop a multi -year schedule of exercise events and supporting training activities to meet those priorities A TEP that is developed from a Training and Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW) provides a roadmap to accomplish the multi -year priorities identified by elected and appointed officials and whole community stakeholders. These priorities help curriculum and exercise planners design and develop a progressive program of training and exercises that build, sustain, and deliver core capabilities, Information related to TEPs and TEPWs can be found on the HSEEP website at hops: / /rvwrv.11is.clhs z ov /hseep. All grantees will develop and maintain a progressive exercise program consistent with Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) wllis.dhs, ov /hse(p, , A progressive, multi -year exercise program enables organizations to participate in a series of increasingly complex exercises, with each successive exercise building upon the previous one until mastery is achieved while also taking into account prior lessons learned. Regardless of the exercise type, each exercise within the progressive series is linked to a set of common program priorities and designed to test associated capabilities. Reporting • Following the TEPW, all grantees and sub - grantees are required to develop a multi- year training and exercise plan that identifies combination of exercises, along with associated training requirements, that address the priorities identified in the TEPW. The training and exercise plan shall be submitted to hsec idh, eov no later than 90 days after the TEPW. States are encouraged to post their schedules to the National Exercise Scheduling System (NEXS) at Consistent with the national exercise program, grantees shall develop and maintain a progressive exercise program. Grantees must either submit one After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) that captures the lessons learned and corrective actions from the progressive exercise program conducted within the HSGP Period of Performance; or submit individual AAR/IPs for each HSGP - funded exercise. AAR/IPs should be submitted to hsegp a,fem.aAhs >ov and include a list of corrective actions and lessons learned, no later than 90 days after completion of the exercise, In accordance with HSEEP guidance grantees are reminded of the importance of implementing corrective actions iteratively throughout the progressive exercise cycle. Grantees are encouraged to use the HSEEP AAR/1P template located at httns: / /wwov.11is.dWhseep and utilize the Corrective Action Program (CAP) System at htOs• / /hsegp dhs gv /caps /, as a means to track the implementation of corrective actions listed in the AAR/IP. Reviewing and Updating On a retuning basis, capabilities, resources, and plans should be reviewed to determine if they remain relevant or need to be updated as it relates to the HSGP. This review should be based on a current risk assessment and utilize information gathered during the validation process. These reviews will provide a means to examine preparedness analyses; determine priorities; direct preparedness actions; and calibrate goals and objectives. FY 2014 HSGP requires State and Urban Area Homeland Security Strategies be updated every other year, and shall be informed by THIRA process results. The assessment and results support conummities' strategic planning 37 Appendix B— FY2014 HSGP Priorities 55B -77
