Preparedness Grants Manual FEMA. This includes CDP, EMI, and TPP, CTG, the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC), the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium (RDPC), and other partners. The catalog features a wide range of course topics in multiple delivery modes to meet FEMA’s mission scope as well as the increasing training needs of federal and SLTT audiences. The catalog can be accessed at the NTED National Preparedness Course Catalog page on firstrespondertraining.gov. Some exercise and training activities require EHP Review, including those that require any type of land, water, or vegetation disturbance or building of temporary structures or that are not located at facilities designed to conduct training and exercises. Additional information on training requirements and EHP review can be found online at the Environmental & Historic Preservation Guidance for FEMA Grant Applications page on FEMA.gov. 7.5.Exercises Exercises conducted with grant funding should be managed and conducted consistent with Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). HSEEP guidance for exercise design, development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning is located at the HSEEP page on FEMA.gov. 7.6.Planning Assistance FEMA’s NPD offers TA that is designed to provide recipients and subrecipients with specialized expertise to improve and enhance the continuing development of state and local emergency management across the five mission areas of the Goal and across all core capabilities. TA provides the opportunity to engage emergency managers, emergency planners, and appropriate decision- makers in open discussion of options to improve plans and planning considering their jurisdiction’s needs. Although there is no direct cost to approved jurisdictions for FEMA TA, jurisdictions are expected to invest staff resources and take ownership of the resulting products and tools. TA deliveries combine current emergency management best practices with practical consideration of emerging trends, through discussion facilitated by FEMA contract specialists and with the support of FEMA Region operational specialists. Additionally, peer-to-peer representation may also be included from other jurisdictions that have recently addressed the same planning issue. The TA request form can be accessed at the NIMS Implementation and Training page on FEMA.gov 7.7.Training Information States, territories, tribal entities, and high-risk urban areas do not need to request approval from FEMA for personnel to attend non-DHS/FEMA training if the training is coordinated with and approved by the state, territory, tribal, or high-risk urban area TPOC and falls within the FEMA mission scope and the jurisdiction’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). For additional information on review and approval requirements for training courses funded with preparedness grants, see FEMA Policy #207-22-0002, Prohibited or Controlled Equipment Under FEMA Awards. FEMA will conduct periodic reviews of all SLTT entities, and high-risk urban area training funded by FEMA. These reviews may include requests for all course materials and physical observation of, or participation in, the funded training. If these reviews determine that courses are outside the scope of this guidance, recipients will be asked to repay grant funds expended in support of those efforts.
