<br />Funding Opportunity Description
<br />A. Program Summary
<br />The FY 2014 HSGP is comprised of three interconnected grant programs:
<br />State Homeland Security Program (SHSP): SHSP supports the implementation of
<br />risk driven, capabilities -based State Homeland Security Strategies to address
<br />capability targets set in Urban Area, State, and regional Threat and Hazard
<br />Identification and Risk Assessments (THIRAs). The capability targets are established
<br />during the THIRA process, and assessed in the State Preparedness Report (SPR) and
<br />inform planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs to prevent,
<br />protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism and other
<br />catastrophic events.
<br />Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI): The UASI program addresses the unique
<br />risk driven and capabilities -based planning, organization, equipment, training,
<br />exercise needs, of high - threat, high- density Urban Areas based on the capability
<br />targets identified during the TH1RA, process and associated assessment efforts, and
<br />assists them in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, protect
<br />against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism.
<br />Operation Stonegarden (OPSG): OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and
<br />coordination among local, Tribal, territorial, State, and Federal law enforcement
<br />agencies in ajoint mission to secure the United States' borders along routes of ingress
<br />from international borders to include travel corridors in States bordering Mexico and
<br />Canada, as well as States and territories with international water borders.
<br />All three programs are founded on risk- driven, capabilities -based strategic plans. These
<br />strategic plans outline capability requirements and inform how available funding may be
<br />applies( to manage risk. For these plans to be effective, government officials and elected
<br />leaders, working with the whole community, must consider how to sustain current
<br />capability levels and address potential gaps to prevent, protect, mitigate, respond to, and
<br />recover from acts of terrorism and other disasters.
<br />B. Program Priorities
<br />The National Preparedness System is the instrument the Nation employs to build, sustain,
<br />and deliver core capabilities in order to achieve the National Preparedness Goal (the
<br />Goal) of a secure and resilient Nation. Complex and far - reaching threats and hazards
<br />require a collaborative and whole community approach to national preparedness that
<br />engages individuals, families, communities, private and nonprofit sectors, faith -based
<br />organizations, and all levels of government. The guidance, programs, processes, and
<br />Systems that support each component of the National Preparedness System allows for the
<br />integration of preparedness efforts that build, sustain, and deliver core capabilities and
<br />achieve the desired outcomes identified in the Goal. The purpose of the HSGP is to
<br />prevent terrorism and to prepare the Nation for the threats and hazards that pose the
