HSGP Appendix | February 2021 Page A-32 information such as USCG’s Maritime Security Risk Analysis Model (MSRAM), and USBP Sector Analysis. Each SHSP- and UASI-funded investment that addresses biological risk, patient care, or health systems preparedness should be implemented in a coordinated manner with other federal programs that support biological and public health incident preparedness such as those administered by HHS ASPR, CDC, and DOT’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Collaboration with Health Care Coalitions (HCCs) HCCs are regional entities comprised of health care, public health, emergency management, and emergency medical services organizations that plan and respond together, leverage resources, and address challenges in health care delivery brought on by public health and medical incidents. Given that many of the risks being mitigated include the potential for a range of mass casualties, including those across the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive (CBRNE) spectrum, planning efforts should include the participation of HCCs and should take into account the elements and capabilities articulated in the 2017-2022 Health Care Preparedness and Response Capabilities (https://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/hpp/reports/Documents/2017-2022-healthcare-pr- capablities.pdf ). Collaboration with Nonprofit Organizations SHSP and UASI recipients are encouraged to work with the nonprofit community to address terrorism and all-hazards prevention concerns, seek input on the needs of the nonprofit sector, and support the goals of their investments. Collaboration with Tribes FEMA strongly encourages states, high-risk urban areas, and territories to work with tribal nations in overall initiatives such as whole community preparedness and emergency management planning. Whole Community Preparedness SHSP and UASI recipients should engage with the whole community to advance community and individual preparedness and to work as a nation to build and sustain resilience. Recipients should consider the three goals of the 2018-2022 FEMA Strategic Plan in their program design and delivery, specifically Strategic Goal 1: Build a Culture of Preparedness, and Strategic Goal 2: Ready the Nation for Catastrophic Disasters. Recipients should integrate program design and delivery practices that ensure representation and services for under-represented diverse populations that may be more impacted by disasters including children, seniors, individuals with disabilities or access and functional needs, individuals with diverse culture and language use, individuals with lower economic capacity, and other underserved populations. Individual preparedness must be coordinated by an integrated body of government and nongovernmental representatives as well, including but not limited to, elected officials, the private sector (especially privately owned critical infrastructure), private nonprofits, nongovernmental organizations (including faith-based, community-based, and voluntary organizations), advocacy groups for under-represented diverse populations that may be more impacted by disasters including children, seniors, individuals with disabilities or access and functional needs, individuals with diverse culture and language use, individuals with lower economic capacity, and other underserved populations. In addition to Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) programs, the following preparedness programs are allowable expenses:
