Part 200 (Uniform Administrative <br />Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards). In general, recipients should <br />consult with their FEMA HQ Preparedness Officer prior to making any investment that does not clearly <br />meet the allowable expense criteria. Funding guidelines established within this section support the five <br />mission areas—Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery—and associated core <br />capabilities within the Goal. Allowable investments made in support of the national priorities, as well as <br />other capability-enhancing projects must have a nexus to terrorism preparedness and fall into the <br />categories of planning, organization, exercises, training, or equipment, aligned to closing capability gaps <br />or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR. Recipients are encouraged to use grant funds for <br />evaluating grant-funded project effectiveness and return on investment. FEMA encourages recipients to <br />provide the results of that analysis to FEMA. <br /> <br />Multiple Purpose or Dual-Use of Funds <br />For both the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) and Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), many <br />activities that support the achievement of core capabilities related to the national priorities and terrorism <br />preparedness may simultaneously support enhanced preparedness for other hazards unrelated to acts of <br />terrorism. However, all SHSP- and UASI-funded projects must assist recipients and subrecipients in <br />achieving core capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of <br />terrorism per section 2008(c) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. § 609(c)). <br /> <br />Planning (SHSP and UASI) <br />SHSP and UASI funds may be used for a range of emergency preparedness and management planning <br />activities such as those associated with the development, review, and revision of the THIRA, SPR, <br />continuity of operations plans, and other planning activities that support the Goal and placing an emphasis <br />on updating and maintaining a current Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) that conforms to the guidelines <br />outlined in Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 v2. <br /> <br />Organization (SHSP and UASI) <br />States and high-risk urban areas must justify proposed expenditures of SHSP or UASI funds to support <br />organization activities within their Investment Justification (IJ) submission. Organizational activities <br />include: <br /> <br />• Program management <br />• Development of whole community partnerships, through groups such as Citizen Corp Councils <br />• Structures and mechanisms for information sharing between the public and private sector <br />• Implementing models, programs, and workforce enhancement initiatives to address <br />ideologically inspired radicalization to violence in the homeland <br />• Tools, resources, and activities that facilitate shared situational awareness between the public <br />and private sectors <br />• Operational Support <br />• Utilization of standardized resource management concepts such as typing, inventorying, <br />organizing, and tracking to facilitate the dispatch, deployment, and recovery of resources before, <br />during, and after an incident
