W. Pass through funding Each State shall obligate 100 percent (100 %) of its total EMPG Program allocation amount to the designated State -level Emergency Management Agency (EMA). If the SAA is also the EMA, this requirement is automatically met. If the SAA is a separate agency, or has separate budget processes, then these funds must be obligated to the EMA within 15 days of the grant award date. In instances where the State -level EMA is making sub - awards to local jurisdictions, FEMA expects the State-level EMA to make these awards as expeditiously as possible. Iv. Other Eligibility Requirements Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) Membership In support of the National Preparedness Goal (Goal), grantees must belong to, be located in, or act as a temporary member States of EMAC, except for American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not currently required to belong to EMAC. All assets supported in part or entirely with FY 2014 EMPG Program funding by States, territories, and Tribes must, where applicable, be readily deployable to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Grantees are required to maintain their existing NIMS compliance. Emergency management and incident response activities require carefully managed resources (personnel, teams, facilities, equipment and /or supplies) to meet incident needs. Utilization of standardized resource management concepts such as typing, inventorying, and cataloging promotes strong national mutual aid capabilities that are needed to support delivery of the core capabilities. Additional information on resource management and national Tier I NIMS Resource Types can be found at b�: / /wxng. femcz,Qov /resource- mn�caeertaen8, FEMA developed the NIMS Guideline for Credentialing of Personnel to describe national credentialing standards and to provide written guidance regarding the use of those standards. This guideline describes credentialing and typing processes, and identifies tools which Federal Emergency Response Officials (FEROs) and emergency managers at all levels of government may use both routinely and to facilitate multi - jurisdictional coordinated responses. Although State, local, Tribal, and private sector partners - including nongovernmental organizations - are not required to credential their personnel in accordance with these guidelines, FEMA strongly encourages them to do so in order to leverage the Federal investment in the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 201 infrastructure and to facilitate interoperability for personnel deployed outside their home jurisdiction, Additional information can be found at hit m/ vw. fen zn.crov /7ni1 /eme>tenev /nim "s /n i g alert cred- iddchne. el.
