Objective Three Organization — Typing of Equipment and Training. SHSP and UASI provide funding for equipment, training, and exercises for the prevention, protection against, response to and recovery from terronsm events. A well executed mission requires carefully managed resources (personnel, teams, facilities, equipment, and /or supplies) to meet incident needs. Utilization of standardized resource management concepts such as typing, inventorying, organizing, and tracking will facilitate the dispatch, deployment, and recovery of resources before, during, and after an incident. Measurement Methods All equipment and training procured under this grant must be in support of the development or maintenance of an identified team or capability described and typed under the NIMS where such typing guidance exists as published by FEMA (e.g., Technical search and rescue equipment for urban search and rescue must be identified for use in the development of a NIMS defined Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) team or to outfit technical rescue specialists as typed single resources) Reporting All grantees will report what equipment was purchased and what typed capability it supports in the BSIR All grantees will report in the BSIR the number of people trained in a given capability to support a reported number of defined resource typed teams (e.g., 63 responders were trained in structural collapse to support 23 Type 2 USAR Teams) All grantees will report the total number of a defined type of resource and capabilities built utilizing the resources of this grant as part of the BSIR Priority Two — Building Prevention and Protection Capabilities As the terrorist threat to the United States has evolved, DHS has sought to expand its capacity to detect and mitigate the threat posed by those who seek to carry out violent attacks against the people, government or critical infrastructure of the United States.
