Appendix B — Program Priorities Alignment of HSGP to the National Preparedness System The Nation utilizes the National Preparedness System to build, sustain, and deliver core capabilities in order to achieve the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal), The Goal is "a secure and resilient Nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk." The objective of the National Preparedness System is to facilitate an integrated, all -of- Nation, risk informed, capabilities -based approach to preparedness. Complex and far - reaching dhreats and hazards require a collaborative and whole community approach to national preparedness that engages individuals, families, communities, private and nonprofit sectors, faith -based organizations, and all levels of government. The guidance, programs, processes, and systems that support each component of the National Preparedness System enable a collaborative, whole community approach to national preparedness that engages individuals, families, communities, private and nonprofit sectors, faith -based organizations, and all levels of government (http: / /rovww, Fema.nnv /whole - community). The FY 2014 HSGP Program contributes to the implementation of the National Preparedness System by supporting the building sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities. Core capabilities are essential for the execution of critical tasks in the National Planning Frameworks for each of the five mission areas outlined in the Goal. Delivering core capabilities requires the combined effort of the whole community, rather than the exclusive effort of any single organization or level o f government, The HSGP Program's allowable costs support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across the Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission areas. To evaluate national progress in building, sustaining, and delivering the core capabilities outlined in the Goal, FEMA annually publishes the National Preparedness Report (NPR). Looking across all 31 core capabilities outlined in the Goal, the NPR provides a national perspective on critical preparedness trends for whole community partners to use to inform program priorities, allocate resources and communicate with stakeholders about issues of shared concern. A key focus and requirement of the HSGP is to prevent terrorism and to prepare the Nation for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security and resilience of the United State, and the greatest risks along the Nation's borders; therefore, HSGP funded investments must have a terrorism - nexus. When applicable, funding should support deployable assets that can be utilized anywhere in the Nation through automatic assistance and mutual aid agreements, including but not limited to the EMAC. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security expects grantees to prioritize grant funding to address gaps identified through the annual SPR in achieving capability targets set through the annual TH1RA. These assessments identify the jurisdictions' capability targets and current ability to meet those targets. Grantees should prioritize grant fiords to imaerease capability for high - priority core capabilities with low capability levels. Minimum funding amounts are not 32 Appendix B— FY2014 HSGP Priorities
