funding. It also includes leveraging assessments such as TSA's Baseline Assessment and <br />Security Enhancement (BASE); reporting from the Intelligence Community, risk information <br />such as U.S. Coast Guard's Maritime Security Risk Analysis Model (MSRAM), and USBP <br />Sector Analysis. <br />Each SHSP and UASI funded investment that addresses biological risk, patient care or health <br />systems preparedness should be implemented in a coordinated manner with other Federal <br />emergency preparedness programs such as those administered by the HHS ASPR, the CDC, and <br />the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety <br />Administration. <br />Whole Community Engagement <br />SHSP and UASI recipients must engage with the whole community to advance community and <br />individual preparedness and to work as a nation to build and sustain resilience (see <br />htty •//www fema eov/whole-commcmitv). Recipients must also integrate the needs of children <br />and individuals with disabilities and other with access and functional needs into activities <br />implemented with SHSP and UASI funds. <br />Collaboration with Nonprofit Organizations <br />SHSP and UASI recipients are encouraged to work with the nonprofit community to address <br />terrorism and all hazards prevention concerns, seek input on the needs of the nonprofit sector, <br />and support the goals of their investments. <br />Collaboration with Tribes <br />DHS/FEMA strongly encourages states, Urban Areas, and regions to work with Tribal nations in <br />overall initiatives such as whole community preparedness and emergency management planning. <br />Multiple Purpose or Dual -Use of Funds <br />For both SHSP and UASI, many activities which support the achievement of target capabilities <br />related to terrorism preparedness may simultaneously support enhanced preparedness for other <br />hazards unrelated to acts of terrorism. However, all SHSP and UASI funded projects must assist <br />recipients and subrecipients in achieving target capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, <br />protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism. <br />Enhancing Cybersecurity Capabilities <br />Applicants are encouraged to propose projects to aid in implementation of all or part of the <br />National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework when <br />requesting funds for cybersecurity. The Framework gathers existing global standards and <br />practices to help organizations understand, communicate, and manage their cyber risks. For <br />organizations that don't know where to start, the Framework provides a road map. For <br />organizations with more advanced cybersecurity, the Framework offers a way to better <br />communicate with their leadership and with suppliers about management of cyber risks. <br />The Department of Homeland Security's Critical Infrastructure Cyber Community C' Voluntary <br />Program also provides resources to critical infrastructure owners and operators to assist in <br />adoption of the Framework and managing cyber risks. <br />Mass Casualty Incident Preparedness and Citizen Preparedness <br />46 <br />Appendix B—FY 2015 HSGP Priorities <br />
