program. UASI submissions of the THIRA are due no later than December 31 each year. • States are required to submit an annual update to their THIRA. States will submit their THIRA update along with their annual SPR through the URT and email a copy of the URT submission to their respective DHS/FEMA Regional Federal Preparedness Coordinator and copy ema-spr(&ema.dhs.>�ov. THIRA submissions shall be in alignment with CPG 201, Second Edition. State submissions of the THIRA and SPR are due no later than December 31 each year. The state should coordinate with each eligible Urban Area to ensure that the UASI THIRA submissions occur in advance of this deadline, as the state must include the Urban Area's input when conducting the statewide SPR assessment. Building and Sustaining Capabilities HSGP recipients should ensure that funding is used to sustain core capabilities funded by past HSGP funding cycles and grant programs. New capabilities should not be built at the expense of maintaining current and critically needed core capabilities. New capabilities also must be aligned with capability targets and gaps identified through the THIRA/SPR process. Reporting As part of programmatic monitoring, recipients will be required to describe how expenditures support maintenance and sustainment of current core capabilities within the BSIR. HSGP recipients will, on a project -by -project basis, check one of the following: • Sustaining or maintaining a capability acquired with Federal homeland security funding; • Sustaining or maintaining a capability acquired without Federal homeland security funding; or • Developing or acquiring a new core capability. NIMS Implementation Recipients receiving HSGP funding are required to implement the NIMS. The NIMS uses a systematic approach to integrate the best existing processes and methods into a unified national framework for incident management. Incident management refers to how incidents are managed across all homeland security activities, including prevention, protection, and response, mitigation, and recovery. FY 2015 HSGP recipients must use standardized resource management concepts for resource typing, credentialing, and an inventory to facilitate the effective identification, dispatch, deployment, tracking and recovery of resources. Reporting • Recipients report on NIMS implementation through the SPR. Fusion Centers DHS/FEMA has identified state and major Urban Area fusion centers as a critical component of our Nation's distributed homeland security and counterterrorism architecture. They provide grassroots intelligence and analytic capabilities within the state and local jurisdiction (http://www.dhs.t,ovlstctte-and-major-urban-area-fission-centers). To that end, DHS/FEMA preparedness grants will continue to support designated state and major Urban Area fusion 37 Appendix B—FY 2015 HSGP Priorities
