iv. Other Eligibility Requirements Emergency Man agernentAssistance Compact (EMAC) Main bership In support of the Goal, grantees must belong to, be located in, or act as a temporary member of EMAC, except for American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not required to belong to EMAC at this time. All assets supported in part or entirely with FY 2014 HSGP finding by States, territories, and Tribes must be readily deployable to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. In addition, funding may be used for the sustainment of core capabilities that, while they may not be physically deployable, support national response capabilities such as Geographic /Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), interoperable communications systems, capabilities as defined tinder the mitigation mission area of the Goat, and fusion centers. National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Prior to allocation of any Federal preparedness awards in FY 2014, grantees must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS. Emergency management and incident response activities require carefully managed resources (personnel, teams, facilities, equipment and/or supplies) to meet incident needs. Utilization of the standardized resource management concepts such as typing, inventorying, and cataloging promote a strong national mutual aid capability needed to support delivery of core capabilities. Additional information on resource management and national Tier I NIMS Resource Types can be found at htrn: /h v. emct.gov /resawree- mancteement 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 multijurisdietional coordinated responses. Although State, local, Tribal, and private sector partners — including nongovernmental organizations —are not required to credential their personnel in accordance with tirese 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.
