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