<br />Develop, Implement, and Evaluate (ADDIE) model of instructional design.
<br />
<br />Recipients are also encouraged to utilize the National Training and Education Division’s National
<br />Preparedness Course Catalog. Trainings include programs or courses developed for and delivered by
<br />institutions and organizations funded by FEMA. This includes the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP),
<br />the Emergency Management Institute (EMI), and FEMA’s Training Partner Programs, including the
<br />Continuing Training Grants (CTG), the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC), the Rural
<br />Domestic Preparedness Consortium (RDPC), and other partners.
<br />
<br />The catalog features a wide range of course topics in multiple delivery modes to meet FEMA’s mission
<br />scope as well as the increasing training needs of federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal audiences. The
<br />catalog can be accessed at http://www.firstrespondertraining.gov.
<br />
<br />Some training activities require Environmental and Historic Preservation (EHP) Review, including
<br />exercises, drills or trainings that require any type of land, water, or vegetation disturbance or building of
<br />temporary structures or that are not located at facilities designed to conduct training and exercises.
<br />Additional information on training requirements and EHP review can be found online at:

<br />
<br />Exercises (SHSP and UASI)
<br />Exercises conducted with grant funding should be managed and conducted consistent with Homeland
<br />Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). HSEEP guidance for exercise design, development,
<br />conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning is located at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-
<br />managers/national-preparedness/exercises/hseep.

<br />Maintenance and Sustainment (SHSP, UASI, and OPSG)
<br />Preparedness grant funds may be used to purchase maintenance contracts or agreements, warranty
<br />coverage, licenses and user fees. These contracts may exceed the period of performance if they are
<br />purchased incidental to the original purchase of the system or equipment as long as the original purchase
<br />of the system or equipment is consistent with that which is typically provided for, or available through,
<br />these types of agreements, warranties, or contracts. When purchasing a stand-alone warranty or extending
<br />an existing maintenance contract on an already-owned piece of equipment system, coverage purchased
<br />may not exceed the period of performance of the award used to purchase the maintenance agreement or
<br />warranty, and it may only cover equipment purchased with HSGP funds or for equipment dedicated for
<br />HSGP-related purposes. As with warranties and maintenance agreements, this extends to licenses and
<br />user fees as well.
<br />
<br />The use of FEMA preparedness grant funds for maintenance contracts, warranties, repair or replacement
<br />costs, upgrades, and user fees are allowable under all active and future grant awards, unless otherwise
<br />noted. Except for maintenance plans or extended warranties purchased incidental to the original purchase
<br />of the equipment, the period covered by maintenance or warranty plan must not exceed the POP of the
<br />specific grant funds used to purchase the plan or warranty.
<br />
<br />Grant funds are intended to support the Goal by funding projects that build and sustain the core
<br />capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against, mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover from
