prescribed by the Department for these priorities; however grantees are expected to support state, local, regional, and national efforts in achieving the desired outcomes of these priorities. Grantees are expected to consider national areas for improvement identified in the 2013 National Preparedness Report, which include cybersecurity, recovery - focused core capabilities, the integration of individuals with access and functional needs, enhancing the resilience of infrastructure systems and maturing the role of public- private partnerships. Addressing these areas for improvement will enhance preparedness nation -wide. Using the core capabilities, the FY 2014 HSGP Program supports the achievement of the Goal by: • Preventing a threatened or an actual act of terrorism; • Protecting our citizens, residents, visitors, and assets against the greatest threats and hazards; • Mitigating the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of future disasters; • Responding quickly to save fives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftennath of a catastrophic incident; and/or • Recovering through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening, and revitalization of infrastructure, housing, and a sustainable economy, as well as the health, social, cultural, historic, and environmental fabric of communities affected by a catastrophic incident. The core capabilities contained in the Goal are highly interdependent and require the use of existing preparedness networks and activities, improve training and exercise programs, promote innovation, and ensure that the appropriate administrative, finance, and logistics systems are in place. To support building, sustaining, and delivering these core capabilities, grantees will use the components of the National Preparedness System. The components of the National Preparedness System are: Identifying and Assessing Risk; Estimating Capability Requirements; Building and Sustaining Capabilities; Planning to Deliver Capabilities; Validating Capabilities; and Reviewing and Updating. For more information on each component, read the National Preparedness System description available at ht n: / /www ema ov /net lanai- prepare fr�ess /national preparednes- s .vtern. Grantees are expected to use this process when using grant funds to address their capability gaps. Reporting on the Implementation of the National Preparedness System Identifying and Assessing Risk and Estimating Capability Requirements In order to qualify for HSGP Program funding, all grantees shall develop and maintain a Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) which informs and supports the State Preparedness Report (SPR). Only one TFHRA submission from each State will be accepted. A THIRA provides a comprehensive approach for identifying and assessing risks and associated impacts. It expands on existing local, Tribal, territorial, and State Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (HIRAs) and other risk methodologies by broadening the factors considered in the process, incorporating the whole community throughout the entire process, and by accounting for important community-specific characteristics.
