Learned Information Sharing (LLIS.gov) by clicking the "Submit to LLIS" icon on the LLIS.gov homepage (or through the CAP system). States and Urban Areas are eligible for technical assistance for the design, development, conduct, and evaluation of emergency preparee ness exercises. This assistance, administered by the FEMA National Exercise Division /Regional Exercise Support Program (RESP) must be applied for and utilized in coordination with the SAA. More information on the RESP and additional exercise support can be found at https.Y/hseep. dhs. gov. States and Urban Areas are encouraged to exercise their capabilities with regard to improving existing preparedness for catastrophic events and associated response operations through more effective collaboration with all members of a community, to include Federal, State, and local government partners, as well as the private sector, non - governmental organizations, and the citizens in and around an impacted area. This also includes consideration for infants and children across all aspects of response and recovery, including pediatric medical surge capabilities, integrating child congregate care systems (e.g. schools, child care, juvenile justice facilities, or group homes), and integrating the accessibility and functional needs of children and adults with disabilities. States and Urban Areas are encouraged to include the private sector in exercises to maximize situational awareness and ensure efficient and effective use of all available resources during an emergency. Personnel Activities (SHSP, UASI, MMRS, CCP) Personnel hiring, overtime, and backfill expenses are permitted under this grant in order to perform allowable FY 2011 HSGP planning, training, exercise, and equipment activities. A personnel cost cap of up to 50 percent (50 %) of total SHSP and UASI program funds may be used for personnel and personnel - related activities as directed by the Personnel Reimbursement for Intelligence Cooperation and Enhancement (PRICE) of Homeland Security Act (Public Law 110 -412). Grantees who wish to seek a waiver from the personnel cost cap must provide documentation explaining why the cap should be waived; waiver requests will be considered only under extreme circumstances. In general, the use of SHSP and UASI funding to pay for staff and /or contractor regular time or overtime /backfill is considered a personnel cost. Activities that are considered "personnel' and "personnel- related," and therefore count against the personnel cost cap of 50 percent (50 %), include, but are not limited to: - Operational overtime - Overtime /backfill to participate in approved training or exercise deliveries - Salaries and personnel costs of intelligence analysts for intelligence and medical fusion center activities - Overtime to participate in intelligence sharing activities 40
