services; housing, and long-term vulnerability reduction. Addressing these areas for improvement will enhance preparedness nation-wide. The FY 2015 HSGP 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 catastrophic events; • Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftermath of a catastrophic incident; and/or • Recover through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening, accessibility 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, to promote innovation, and to ensure that the appropriate administrative, finance, and logistics systems are in place. Reporting on the Implementation of the National Preparedness System Identifying and Assessing Risk and Estimating Capability Requirements In order to qualify for HSGP Program funding, all recipients shall develop and maintain an annual THIRA and an annual SPR. A THIRA provides a comprehensive approach for identifying and assessing risks and associated impacts. It expands on existing local, Tribal, territorial, and State Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (HIRAs) and other risk methodologies by broadening the factors considered in the process, incorporating the whole community throughout the entire process, and by accounting for important community -specific characteristics. CPG 201, Second Edition is available at http//www fema.)Zov/threat-and- hcazard-identification-and-risk-assessment. In step four of the THIRA process, a jurisdiction should estimate the resources required to deliver the capability targets set in their THIRAs. Communities express resource requirements as a list of whole community resources needed to successfully manage their capability targets. Each jurisdiction should decide which combination of resources is most appropriate to achieve its capability targets. The SPR is an annual self-assessment of state preparedness submitted by the 56 States and territories to DHS/FEMA. The Post -Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006' (PKEMRA) requires an SPR from any state or territory receiving Federal preparedness assistance administered by the Department of Homeland Security. Reporting • UASIs are required to submit an annual update to their THIRA. UASIs will submit their THIRA to the designated SAA. THIRA submissions shall be in alignment with CPG 201, Second Edition. The Urban Area should coordinate internally to ensure its submission represents all jurisdictions within the UASI 36 Appendix B—FY 2015 HSGP Priorities
