HSGP Appendix | February 2021 Page A-21 required to submit an SPR annually. For additional guidance on the THIRA/SPR, please refer to Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 201, Third Edition. Reporting • States and territories will submit their THIRA and SPR through the Unified Reporting Tool (URT) on Prep Toolkit no later than December 31 of the applicable year (every three years for THIRA and each year for SPR). • High-risk urban areas that receive UASI funding will submit their THIRA/SPR through the URT on Prep Toolkit no later than December 31 for the years during which they have UASI funding. • States, territories and high-risk urban areas should work collaboratively to create the most accurate THIRA and SPR possible. States, territories, and high-risk urban areas may share scenarios, targets, and assessed capabilities when appropriate. • Please contact FEMA-SPR@fema.dhs.gov if you have questions. Building and Sustaining Capabilities States, territories, and high-risk urban areas must prioritize and align SHSP and UASI grant funding investments in building and sustaining capabilities in areas that align with the national priorities in the annual HSGP NOFO and capability gaps identified in their THIRA and SPR. Reporting In each HSGP recipient’s Biannual Strategy and Implementation Report (BSIR), as part of programmatic monitoring, the recipient must describe how expenditures support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA and SPR. HSGP recipients must, on a project-by-project basis, check one of the following: • Building a capability with HSGP funding • Sustaining a capability with HSGP funding National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Recipients receiving HSGP funding are required to implement NIMS. NIMS guides all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations (NGO), and the private sector to work together to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from incidents. NIMS provides stakeholders across the whole community with the shared vocabulary, systems, and processes to successfully deliver the capabilities described in the National Preparedness System. 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. The NIMS Implementation Objectives for Local, State, Tribal, and Territorial Jurisdictions clarify the NIMS implementation requirements in FEMA preparedness grant NOFOs. As recipients and subrecipients of federal preparedness (non-disaster) grant awards, jurisdictions and organizations must achieve, or be actively working to achieve, all of the NIMS Implementation Objectives. The objectives can be found on the NIMS webpage at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation- training. Reporting • Recipients report in the applicable secondary NIMS assessment portion of the URT as part of their THIRA/SPR submission, as outlined in the HSGP NOFO.
