States should work with the tribal and local <br />governments to develop a strategy for statewide compliance with NIMS. <br /> <br />. Institutionalizing the use of the les. State, territorial, tribal, and local entities <br />that are not already using ICS, must institutionalize the use of ICS (consistent <br />with the concepts and principles taught by DHS) across the entire response <br />system. All federal, state, territory, tribal, and local jurisdictions will be required <br />to adopt ICS in order to be compliant with NIMS. <br /> <br />FY06 and FY07 Reauirements <br />In order to receive FY06 preparedness funding, the minimum FY05 compliance <br />requirements described above must be met. Applicants will be required to certify as <br />part of their FY06 grant applications that they have met the FY05 NIMS requirements. <br /> <br />Additional information about NIMS compliance and resources for achieving compliance <br />will be forthcoming from the NIC. The NIC web page, http://www.fema.Qov/nirns, will be <br />updated regularly with NIMS information and implementation guidance. States and <br />local jurisdictions experiencing costs associated with meeting FY05 NIMS requirements <br />are encouraged to leverage FY05 HSGP funds to meet those requirements. <br /> <br />B. HSPD-8: National Preparedness <br /> <br />HSPD-8 establishes policies to strengthen the preparedness of the United States to <br />prevent and respond to threatened or actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, <br />and other emergencies by requiring a National Preparedness Goal, establishing <br />mechanisms for improved delivery of federal preparedness assistance to state and local <br />governments, and outlining actions to strengthen preparedness capabilities of federal, <br />state, and local entities. Statewide all-hazards preparedness strategies should be <br />consistent with the National Preparedness Goal, assess the most effective ways to <br />enhance preparedness, address areas facing higher risk especially to terrorism, and <br />address local government concerns and Citizen Corps efforts. <br /> <br />The National Preparedness Goal aims for federal, state, local, and tribal entities to <br />achieve and sustain nationally accepted risk based target levels of capability for <br />prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery for major events, especially <br />terrorism. The target levels of capability are based upon National Planning Scenarios, a <br />UTL. and a Target Capabilities List. These tools are being developed with input from <br />the homeland security community at all levels and will continue to be updated over time. <br />States should take steps in FY05 to review and incorporate these tools in their <br />preparedness efforts in preparation for full implementation of HSPD-8 in FY06. <br /> <br />The National Planning Scenarios illustrate the scope and magnitude of major, <br />catastrophic events for which the nation needs to be prepared. They include 12 terrorist <br />attacks (including chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive, and cyber), two <br />natural disasters, and pandemic influenza. The scenarios provide the detail in terms of <br /> <br />DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY I OFFICE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS <br />48 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
