Attachment A FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM 4. Updating POC. Any updates or changes to any state, core city(ies), or core county(ies) POC information should be submitted to the assigned ODP Preparedness Officer. Newly Identified UASI Urban Areas For newly identified UASI urban areas in FY05, the SAA must comply with the following requirements: Requirements for HSGP Application Submission (refer to page 15, application requirements for newly identified UASI urban areas): • Identify SAA, Core City(ies), and Core County(ies) POCs • Define the urban area • Establish the UAWG 2. Conduct an Urban Area Assessment. Newly identified urban areas receiving funding under this initiative may use previously collected assessment data from the 2003 State Homeland Security Assessment and Strategy Program, which in turn will guide development of an Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. 3. Develop an Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. Newly identified urban areas receiving funding under this initiative must develop a comprehensive Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. This strategy must be developed jointly by all units of government in the defined urban area and meet the requirements for a validated Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy as outlined in ODP's Urban Areas Security Initiative Administrator Handbook, which can be found at http://www.shsasresources.com. The Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy must be consistent with and supportive of the SHSS. The state and urban area strategies are not spending plans for the UASI grant funds; rather they should articulate an overall vision for preparedness in the state or urban area, and lay out specific goals and objectives which, if achieved, will enable realization of that vision. Additionally, the state, core city, core county and other urban area jurisdictions should work together to leverage all available funding sources in implementation of the strategy and to include citizens in all aspects of the strategy through their local Citizen Corps Council. Note: Receipt of all funds is contingent upon submission of a validated Urban Area Assessment and a validated Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. All Urban Area Homeland Security Strategies must be completed and submitted to ODP by February 16, 2005. ODP will provide technical assistance to the urban areas throughout the strategy development process. 4. Allocation of Funds. The intent of the grant is to establish a metropolitan area - wide approach to homeland security. Therefore, the use and allocation of all grant funds available through the FY05 UASI must focus on the implementation of the Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. They must also be consistent with the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY I OFFICE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS 70
