HSGP Appendix | February 2021 Page A-22 Planning to Deliver Capabilities Recipients shall develop and maintain, jurisdiction-wide, all threats and hazards Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs) consistent with Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101, Version 2.0 (CPG 101 v2), Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans (November 2010). Recipients must update their EOPs at least once every two years. Reporting • Recipients report EOP compliance with CPG 101 v2 by completing the secondary CPG-101 assessment in the URT. Validating Capabilities All recipients will develop and maintain a progressive exercise program consistent with HSEEP guidance in support of the NEP. The NEP serves as the principal exercise mechanism for examining national preparedness and measuring readiness. The NEP is a two-year cycle of exercises across the nation that validates capabilities in all preparedness mission areas. The two-year NEP cycle is guided by Principals’ Strategic Priorities, established by the National Security Council and informed by preparedness data from jurisdictions across the Nation. To develop and maintain a progressive exercise program consistent with HSEEP and in support of the NEP, recipients should engage senior leaders and other whole community stakeholders to identify preparedness priorities. These priorities should be informed by various factors, including jurisdiction- specific threats and hazards (i.e., the THIRA); areas for improvement identified by real-world events and exercises; external requirements such as state or national preparedness reports, homeland security policy, and industry reports; and accreditation standards, regulations, or legislative requirements. Recipients should document these priorities and use them to deploy a schedule of preparedness events in a multi-year IPP. Information related to Integrated Preparedness Planning Workshops (IPPWs) can be found on the HSEEP website at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/national-preparedness/exercises/hseep and https://preptoolkit.fema.gov/. The NEP provides exercise sponsors the opportunity to receive exercise design and delivery assistance, tools and resources, enhanced coordination, and the ability to directly influence and inform policy and preparedness programs. If you have any questions, or would like to request assistance through the NEP, please visit the NEP website at: https://www.fema.gov/national-exercise-program, or reach out to the National Exercise Program directly at NEP@fema.dhs.gov. • Recipients must have a current multi-year IPP that identifies preparedness priorities and activities. The current multi-year IPP must be submitted to hseep@fema.dhs.gov before January 31 of each year. o Recipients are encouraged to enter their exercise information into the Preparedness Toolkit at https://preptoolkit.fema.gov/. • Recipients must submit After-Action Report (AAR)/Improvement Plans (IPs) to hseep@fema.dhs.gov and indicate which fiscal year’s funds were used (if applicable). • Submission of AAR/IPs must take place no later than December 31 of each year. For exercises that occur within the final quarter of a calendar year, submission of AAR/IPs must occur within 90 days after completion of the single exercise. Regardless of conduct date, recipients are encouraged to submit AAR/IPs within 90 days after completion of the single exercise or progressive series. o Recipients are encouraged to submit AAR/IPs reflecting tabletop exercises that validate critical plans or those reflecting large-scale functional or full-scale exercises that took
