FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM -DECEMBER 2, 2005 <br />facilities, public health Departments, emergency operations center, public safety Department, <br />emergency medical and law enforcement dispatch centers, and State National Guard nodes. <br />Network design and communications operations planning must be integrated with Urban Area, <br />and State communications upgrade activities, and should be conducted in consultation with DFIS <br />assistance resources, including the Interoperable Communications Technical Assistance <br />Program. <br />CFA 5 - Strengthen Information Sharing and Collaboration Capabilities <br />This CFA links to the National Priority for Information Sharing and Collaboration. <br />CFA 6 -Expand Regional Collaboration <br />This CFA links to the National Priority for Regional Collaboration and all Target Capabilities. <br />Previous MMRS guidance applicable to this CFA includes deliverable four of the FY 2003 <br />MMRS Contract, and the capabilities sustainment element of the FY 2004 MMRS grant <br />guidance. <br />The term "MMRS Operational Area" means all of the political jurisdictions and special <br />jurisdictions (such as port authorities and transportation authorities) with which an MMRS <br />jurisdiction has mutual aid agreements and other preparedness and response coordination <br />and/cooperation arrangements. This term is meant to avoid the confusion caused by the <br />existence of multiple special purpose "regions" (e.g., emergency management, public health, <br />homeland security, transportation/highway) in most States. The jurisdictions in an MMRS <br />Operational Area which receive MMRS grants funds are "principal MMRS jurisdictions" and the <br />other jurisdictions in the operational area are "affiliated MMRS jurisdictions." <br />Grant funding is available to support continuing, and newly established MMRS Operational <br />Areas. This multi - jurisdictional approach is a hallmark of the MMRS Program and achieves <br />efficiency and economy by providing protection for a greater at -risk population, and by <br />incorporating more highly trained response personnel (e.g., hospitals) and special - purpose <br />resources (e.g., pharmaceuticals, equipment). <br />States with two or more MMRS jurisdictions shall achieve formalized State -wide mass <br />casualty preparedness and response capabilities. <br />MMRS jurisdictions with Operational Areas in two or more States shall achieve common <br />response protocols; common, or compatible, credentialing and permissions for first <br />responder and medical treatment personnel; and common interoperable communications <br />capabilities. <br />CFA 7 - Triage and Pre - Hospital Treatment <br />Elements of MMRS baseline capabilities in WMD CBRNE response plans are applicable to this <br />CFA. <br />CFA 8 - Medical Supplies Management and Distribution <br />Activities under this CFA must implement NIMS resources management requirements, support <br />mutual aid agreements with respect to medical treatment facilities and medical services for mass <br />PREPAREDNESS DIRECTORA'TE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING 98 <br />
