<br />C. Program Requirements
<br />
<br />ODP does not require a specific number of activities or projects but expects that the
<br />statement of work proposed will be proportionate to the level of the state emergency
<br />management program and of appropriate emergency management components, as
<br />evidenced by the EMAP assessment, other hazards/vulnerability and needs
<br />assessments, the mitigation plan, post-disaster reviews, corrective actions programs,
<br />and the EMPG funding appointed to those tasks.
<br />
<br />EMPG is a consolidated grant, which originally included programs that provided formula
<br />and project grants, The current program is primarily a formula grant providing support
<br />for essential expenses including salaries, benefits, equipment, supplies, maintenance of
<br />facilities, and other necessary costs of state and local emergency management
<br />departments and agencies. The normal capability-building program activities of the
<br />state and local emergency management organizations should be described in the
<br />program narrative, categorized by emergency management functions as described
<br />above, Special projects are also allowable under EMPG, as they were under several of
<br />the original constituent programs, Such projects may be included within the framework
<br />of the emergency management functions or presented separately,
<br />
<br />A state's EMPG should establish the framework for accountability, which should be based
<br />on results, not processes. In order to develop a results-oriented program, a state should be
<br />able to answer the following questions:
<br />
<br />. What are we trying to achieve or what is the problem needing a solution?
<br />. How will we get there?
<br />. How will we know if we are getting there?
<br />
<br />Once the state selects the issue it would like to address, it can determine the issue-related
<br />goal (the desired outcome), the strategies the state will pursue to achieve the goal, and how
<br />it will recognize progress in achieving the outcome,
<br />
<br />Grantees must maintain and expand any necessary capabilities to have an effective
<br />emergency management program, These capabilities must be able to address aI/-
<br />hazards emergencies, ODP will work with the states as necessary to ensure that proposed
<br />goals, objectives, and projections of accomplishments include, or provide for the
<br />development of, appropriate baselines, tracking methodology(ies), and reporting
<br />mechanisms,
