Attachment A FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM For example, a state's program objective for exercises may include those conducted by counties or municipalities as well as those conducted by the state. EMPG Budget and Budget Narrative Additionally, all EMPG award recipients are required to submit a budget and budget narrative addressing EMPG related costs and expenses, as a part of the HSGP application. This budget narrative should be brief and should serve to: (1) explain how the costs were estimated, (2) justify the need for the costs, and (3) outline how the match requirement of the grant program will be met. For clarification purposes, the narrative should include tables describing cost and expense elements (e.g. equipment list with unit costs /quantity). ODP Preparedness Officers can provide additional on the development of this narrative. 5. For newly identified UASI urban areas: Identify Points of Contact. The SAA must designate a specific point(s) of contact (POC) to work with ODP and the designated urban area(s) on the implementation of the FY05 UASI. The SAA POC(s) is then responsible for working through the Mayor /Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of each urban area's core city and associated core county /counties to identify a POC for those jurisdictions. This information must be provided to ODP along with the grant application. Define the Urban Area. In coordination with the urban area core city POC and the core county /counties POC(s), the SAA POC must fully define the urban area, as it will apply to FY05 UASI. Specifically, the geographical borders of what constitutes the urban area — including any possible contiguous jurisdictions and mutual aid partners —must be drawn, and all participating jurisdictions within the border identified. In defining the urban area, the SAA POC is required to coordinate and receive input from the core city and core county /counties. The definition of the urban area is limited to jurisdictions contiguous to the core city and county /counties, or with which the core city or county /counties have established formal mutual aid agreements; a core county is defined as the county within which the core city is geographically located. States may request a waiver for this limitation for regions previously established by Executive Order, law or compact. For the purposes of the FY05 UASI, the Washington, D.C. urban area will consist of the National Capital Region as set forth in Title 10 USC, Sec. 2674(f)(2). Establish the Urban Area Working Group (UAWG). The SAA POC must work through the Mayor /CEOs from all other local jurisdictions within the defined urban area to identify POCs from these jurisdictions to serve on the UAWG. The UAWG will be responsible for coordinating development and implementation of all initiative elements, including the urban area strategy development, the methodology for the allocation of funds (in coordination with the SAA), and any DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY I OFFICE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS 1s
