Addressing these areas for improvement will enhance preparedness Nation- <br />wide. <br />In addition, the Department of Homeland Security expects grantees to prioritize grant <br />funding to address gaps identified through the annual SPR in achieving capability targets <br />set through the annual THIRA. These assessments identify the jurisdictions' capability <br />targets and current ability to meet those targets. Grantees should prioritize grant funds to <br />increase capability for high- priority core capabilities with low capability levels. <br />Minimum funding amounts are not prescribed by the Department for these priorities; <br />however, grantees are expected to support state, local, regional, and National efforts in <br />achieving the desired outcomes of these priorities. <br />Appendix B also includes other areas where funding can be applied to strengthen <br />preparedness efforts. <br />11.
