State Changes Training Requirement — Not less than 10% of all subgrantee and Initiatives applications must be allocated to FEMA approved training activities. (Cont.) However, training on equipment will continue to be allowed as part of the 10 %. Further, per the Federal Guidance, training conducted using HSGP funds should address a performance gap identified through an After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) or contribute to building a capability that will be evaluated through an exercise. Subgrantees will explain in a narrative the gap identified, provide access to the AAR or details of the upcoming exercise, and submit to their CalEMA Program Representative. Note: This does not apply to State Agencies. Non- DHS/FEMA Developed Training Courses When seeking DHS approval of non - DHS /FEMA developed courses, the most notable changes are: • Course materials must be submitted with the approval requests; and • Conditional approvals are no longer offered. The CalEMA Training and Exercise Program (T &E) will release additional training related information at a later date. Exercises — Subgrantees must conduct threat and performance -based exercises in accordance with DHS Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) manuals. Once a grant funded exercise has been scheduled, subgrantees must notify the CalEMA T &E of the exercise date, time, location, and point of contact information. T &E will maintain a web -based master schedule of all exercises occurring throughout the state, to increase communication and coordination of all exercises. Exercise AAR/IPs must be posted to the Corrective Action Plan System (CAPS) within 60 days following the completion of each exercise. For more information on this process, please contact: Kevin Chan at (916) 324 -6736 or kevin.chan@ohs.ca.gov. Exercise costs will not be reimbursed until an AAR has been posted and access to the AAR has been granted to Rachel Magaiia. Rachel can be reached at (916) 324 -9314 or rachel.magana'wohs.ca.gov. Note: Urban Areas are required to develop a Multi -year Training and Exercise Plan and submit it to FEMA on an annual basis. Subgrantees must provide a copy to their CaIEMA Program Representative.
