Attachment A FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM Exercise Costs Guidance Exercises conducted with ODP support (grant funds or direct support) must be managed and executed in accordance with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program ( HSEEP). HSEEP Volumes 1 -III contain guidance and recommendations for designing, developing, conducting, and evaluating exercises. HSEEP Volumes 1 -III can be found at ODP's website at http://www.omp.usdoi.gov/odip/exercises.htm. Volume IV, which contains sample exercise materials and documents, can be found on ODP's Secure Portal at httr)s: / /odp.esportals.com or http: / /www.Ilis.gov. Exercise Planning Workshop. States must conduct an annual Exercise Planning Workshop (EPW) to examine the progress and effectiveness of their current exercise strategy and program. A Multiyear Exercise Plan and schedule must be produced from the EPW and submitted through ODP's Secure Portal Exercise Scheduler located at ; https: / /odi).esi)ortals.com. Refer to HSEEP Volume III, Chapter 2 for further guidance A. on EPWs and the Multiyear Exercise Plan and schedule. n Exercise Scenarios. The scenarios used in SHSP, UASI, and LETPP- funded exercises must be terrorism - related and based on the state's /urban area's homeland security strategy and plans. Acceptable scenarios for exercises include: chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive, cyber and agricultural. Grantees that need further clarification on scenarios should consult with their ODP Exercise Manager for assistance and /or approval. Fifteen all- hazards National Planning Scenarios, including twelve terrorism scenarios, have been developed, and will be made available for use in national, federal, state, and local homeland security preparedness activities (See HSPD -8: National Preparedness on page 48). Citizen participation in exercises is encouraged to include back filling non - professional tasks for first responders deployed on exercise, administrative and logistical assistance with exercise implementation, and providing simulated victims, press, and members of the public. Citizen participation in exercises should be coordinated with local Citizen Corps Council(s). Grantees that wish to expend funds on models, simulations, or games (MS &G) must consult with "Review of Models, Simulations, and Games for Domestic Preparedness Training and Exercising, Volume III," which provides an overview and analysis of existing models, simulations and games. This report is available at http://www.o'p.usdo'.qov/odp/exercises.htm. Grantees must justify the purchase and use of a given MS &G product/service, by a) documenting the training and /or exercise objective(s), b) documenting how the selected product/service will support those objectives, and c) justification for the chosen product category (potentially referring to Volume III benefits /limitations). The form for this justification can be found at http://www.o'p.usdoa.gov/odp/exercises.htm. If a state or urban area will be hosting an upcoming special event (e.g., Superbowl, G -8 Summit, etc.), or they anticipate that they will apply to be a venue for a future Top Officials (TOPOFF) exercise, they should plan to use SHSP or UASI funding to fund training and exercise activities in preparation for that event.
