Appendix B — Program Priorities Alignment of HSGP to the National Preparedness System The Nation utilizes the National Preparedness System to build, sustain, and deliver core capabilities in order to achieve the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal). The Goal is "a secure and resilient Nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk." The objective of the National Preparedness System is to facilitate an integrated, all -of -Nation, risk informed, capabilities -based, whole community approach to preparedness. Complex and far-reaching threats and hazards require the engagement of individuals, families, communities, private and nonprofit sectors, faith -based organizations, and all levels of government (http://www.fema.2ov/whole-commienitv). Recipients will use the National Preparedness System to support building, sustaining, and delivering these core capabilities. The components of the National Preparedness System are: Identifying and Assessing Risk; Estimating Capability Requirements; Building and Sustaining Capabilities; Planning to Deliver Capabilities; Validating Capabilities; and Reviewing and Updating. For more information on each component, read the National Preparedness System description available at ht�p://www.fema.eov/national-preparedness-system. The FY 2015 HSGP contributes to the implementation of the National Preparedness System by financially supporting the ability of States and local jurisdictions to build, sustain, and deliver core capabilities identified in the Goal. The HSGP's allowable costs support efforts across the five mission areas of Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. A key focus and requirement of the HSGP is to prevent terrorism and other catastrophic events and to prepare the Nation for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security and resilience of the United States, and the greatest risks along the Nation's Borders. 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 Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). In addition, DHS/FEMA expects recipients to prioritize grant funding to address gaps identified through the annual SPR in achieving capability targets set through the annual THIRA. These assessments identify the jurisdiction's capability targets and current ability to meet those targets. Recipients should prioritize grant funds to increase capability for high-priority core capabilities with low capability levels. Minimum funding amounts are not prescribed by the Department for these priorities; however recipients are expected to support state, local, regional, and national efforts in achieving the desired outcomes of these priorities. Recipients are expected to consider national areas for improvement identified in the 2014 NPR, which include cybersecurity, enhancing the resilience of infrastructure systems, health and social 35 Appendix B—FY 2015 HSGP Priorities
