itlrech,ment .'-,. FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM All tabletop exercises (TTXs), drills, functional exercises (FES), and full -scale exercises (FSEs) will be evaluated and performance based. An After Action Report (AAR) and Improvement Plan will be prepared and submitted to DHS /ODP following every TTX, drill, FE, and FSE. AAR/IPs must be provided to ODP within 60 days following completion of each exercise (see HSEEP Volume ll, Appendix A). Currently, these AAR/IPs can be submitted through the CDP Secure Portal. However CDP is working with other agencies to develop a national reporting system. A state or local jurisdiction that conducts an exercise using SHSP, UASI, and LETPP funds must follow the HSEEP doctrine and protocol contained in Volume H. States are encouraged to develop a self- sustaining State Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program which is modeled after the national HSEEP. This may include, for example: hiring dedicated exercise program staff, awareness seminars on HSEEP, attending exercise training courses, and maintaining a system to track the completion and submission of AARs and Improvement Plans from exercises (including costs associated with meeting with local units of government to define procedures). Construction and Renovation Guidance Use of HSGP funds for construction is generally prohibited except as outlined below. Such construction and renovation shall be strictly limited and allowable only when it is a necessary component of a security system at critical infrastructure facilities. • The following actions and improvements do not constitute construction or renovation, and are allowable under specific HSGP program guidance: • Improved lighting • Fencing • Communications antennas (not over 200 feet) • Closed- circuit television (CCTV) systems • Motion detection systems • Barriers, doors, gates and related security enhancements. Project construction and renovation not exceeding $1,000,000 is allowable, as deemed necessary by the Director, SLGCP, under SHSP, UASI, and LETPP. These program funds may be used for construction and renovation projects only when those projects specifically address enhanced security at critical infrastructure facilities. The following actions and improvements are considered to constitute construction or renovation, and must follow the approval process outlined below. • Construction and /or renovation to guard facilities • Communications antennas (over 200 feet) • Any other construction or renovation efforts that change or expand the footprint of a facility or structure, including security enhancements to improve perimeter security. • CCP, EMPG, and MMRS funds may not be used for any type of construction or renovation DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY I OFFICE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS 38 W- 0 a 0 0 li s; s
