THSGP Appendix | February 2021 Page B-1 Program Appendix B: Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (THSGP) As a reminder, while this appendix contains THSGP-specific information and requirements, the main content of this Manual (non-appendix information) contains important information relevant to all preparedness grant programs, including the THSGP. Please be sure to read the main content of this Manual in addition to the program-specific appendices. Alignment of THSGP to the National Preparedness System The THSGP plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness Goal by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of the core capabilities. The core capabilities are essential for the execution of critical tasks for each of the five mission areas outlined in the Goal. Delivering core capabilities requires the combined effort of the whole community, rather than the exclusive effort of any single organization or level of government. THSGP allowable costs support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across the prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery mission areas described in the Goal. Particular emphasis in THSGP will be placed on capabilities that address the greatest risks to the security and resilience of tribal communities and the United States and that provide a clear nexus to preventing acts of terrorism. Funding will support deployable assets that can be utilized through automatic assistance and mutual aid agreements. THSGP 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 disasters; • 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, 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. To support building, sustaining, and delivering these core capabilities, recipients will use the components of the National Preparedness System, which include: Identifying and Assessing Risk, Estimating Capability Requirements, Building and Sustaining Capabilities, Planning to Deliver Capabilities, Validating Capabilities, and Reviewing and Updating. Additional information on the National Preparedness System is available at: http://www.fema.gov/national-preparedness-system. FEMA requires recipients to prioritize grant funding to demonstrate how investments support identified national priorities and closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)/Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) process. Recipients are also expected to consider national areas for improvement identified in the most recent National Preparedness Report as they relate to terrorism preparedness. They include cybersecurity, economic recovery, housing, infrastructure systems, natural and cultural resources, and supply chain integrity and security. Addressing these areas for improvement will enhance preparedness nationwide. Minimum funding amounts are not prescribed by the Department for these priorities; however, recipients
