.\ttachmcnt A FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM ODP Course Catalog as AWR 160, Direct Delivery and AWR 160-1, Train-the-Trainer Courses. Implementation of this initiative was announced in ODP Information Bulletin #130, dated August 30, 2004; additional guidance was provided in ODP Information Bulletin #138 dated October 25, 2004. (Information bulletins are available on the ODP website at hltp://www.oip.usdoi.qov/odp/docs/bulletins.htm.) During FY05, ODP will complete delivery of AWR-100-1 Train-the-Trainer to cadres of authorized trainers in all UASI jurisdiction and all states and territories. The intent of this initiative is for states and urban areas to institutionalize sustainable training systems to maintain this training. Training POCs in states will be expected to lead the overall effort for this program. States and urban areas are also expected to then conduct follow-on training sessions for their emergency responders based on needs identified in their homeland security strategies. More detailed information on the National CBRNE Standardized Awareness Training initiative will be provided through additional communications to state and urban area points of contact. Inquiries on this program specific to a jurisdiction's participation should be directed to an ODP Preparedness Officer. G. Catastrophic Incident Planning The Catastrophic Incident Response Annex (CIRA) to the NRP establishes a coordinated strategy for accelerating the delivery and application of federal resources and capabilities in support of a jurisdictional response to a catastrophic incident. The NRP defines a catastrophic incident as any natural or manmade incident, including terrorism, which produces extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, and disruption severely affecting the population, infrastructure, environment, economy, and government functions. In support of the CIRA, catastrophic incident response planning is now included as an allowable expense under FY05 SHSP and UASI. Allowable costs related to this type of effort include: conducting assessments and exercises of existing catastrophic incident response and recovery plans and capabilities; activities that directly support the identification of specific catastrophic incident priority response and recovery projected needs; activities to develop a surge capacity; and activities that directly support the identification and advance preparation of pre-designated temporary housing sites. State and local jurisdiction catastrophic incident planning activities should be coordinated with both ODP and FEMA to ensure federal, state, and local expectations and plans are synchronized. FEMA's Recovery Division has prepared more detailed guidance on the specific planning requirements and concerns that states and locals should consider when engaging in site identification and selection. Additional information can be obtained through FEMA regional staff. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY I OFFICE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS 54 'fIl LIl > ~ i= 2 -
