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