Preparedness Grants Manual 12.8.5. TRAINING AND EXERCISE REPORTING .All EMPG Program-funded exercise and training activities must be captured in the approved EMPG Program Work Plan and should be included in the IPP. This includes training for which the only expenses are for overtime and/or backfill costs associated with emergency management personnel attending the training. . . EMPG Program-funded exercise costs in the Work Plan can include costs to plan, conduct and evaluate the exercise (e.g., planning, materials, props, contractual services for conducting the exercise, AAR, and IP, etc.). All EMPG Program-funded training activities must be reported quarterly. To simplify reporting, it is recommended the recipient submit an updated Training Data Table from the EMPG Program Work Plan Template as an attachment to the quarterly PPR. For those recipients who choose not to use the EMPG Program Work Plan Template, the data and information found in the Training Data Table must still be submitted (in any chosen format) as an attachment to the PPR. .EMPG Program-funded personnel costs associated with exercises are not required in the EMPG Program Work Plan Template for application or reporting purposes. . . Recipients are encouraged to enter their exercise information into the Preparedness Toolkit. Recipients must have a current multi-year IPP that identifies preparedness priorities and activities. The current multi-year IPP must be submitted to hseep@fema.dhs.gov and the Regional EMPG Program Manager and indicate which fiscal year’s funds were used (if applicable) before Jan. 31 of each year. .Submission of AAR/IPs to hseep@fema.dhs.gov and the Regional EMPG Program Manager must take place within 90 days following completion of the single exercise or progressive series. o Recipients are encouraged to submit AAR/IPs reflecting tabletop exercises that validate critical plans or those reflecting large-scale functional or full-scale exercises that took place at the state, territorial, tribal, or regional level. Recipients are discouraged from submitting AAR/IPs specific to local jurisdictions that reflect drills. o If a state, territory, tribe, or local jurisdiction has experienced a major disaster and they would like to request exemptions for a scheduled exercise, the recipient should send this request to its assigned Regional EMPG Program Manager through the quarterly PPR. Exemptions will be reviewed by the Region on a case-by-case basis. . . Recipients can access a sample AAR/IP template at the Improvement Planning Templates page on Preparedness Toolkit. Recipients must report their NIMS implementation status of their jurisdiction and sub- jurisdictions, including the training of personnel, in the applicable secondary NIMS assessment portion of the URT as part of their THIRA/SPR submission. . . Recipients must maintain proof of completion of training requirements. Recipients are encouraged to use the OneResponder system to enter, track, and report training.
