Collaboration with Tribes FEMA strongly encourages States, Urban Areas, and regions to work with Tribal nations in overall initiatives such as whole community preparedness and emergency management planning. 6. Coordination with other Federal agencies and programs States and Urban Areas most coordinate among the entire scope of Federal partners, national initiatives and grant programs to identify opportunities to leverage resources when implementing their preparedness programs. This may include but is not limited to: Medical Reserve Corps, CDC, and ASPR. Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) grants, ASPR Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP), CDC Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP), CDC Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI), Strategic National Stockpile Programs, and EMS.

To ensure ongoing coordination efforts, SAAB are encouraged to share community preparedness information submitted in the State's BSIR with members of the SAC. The charter should be made available upon request to promote transparency in decision - making related to HSGP activities. To manage this effort and to further reinforce collaboration and coordination across the stakeholder community, a portion of the 20 percent (20 %) holdback of a State or territory award may be utilized by the SAA for the purpose of supporting the SAC and to ensure representation and active participation of SAC members.
