Projects, conducting research necessary to inform the planning process, and developing plans that bridge mechanisms, documents, protocols, and procedures. SAAB will use the URT to verify compliance of SAC charter requirements. Supplemental UASI Guidance The UASI program is intended to provide financial assistance to address the unique multi- discipline planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high - threat, high - density Urban Areas, and to assist these areas in building and sustaining capabilities to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism using the Whole Community approach. Many capabilities which support terrorism preparedness simultaneously support preparedness for other hazards. Grantees must demonstrate the dual -use quality for any activities implemented that are not explicitly focused on terrorism preparedness, Urban Areas must use UASI funds to employ regional approaches to overall preparedness and are encouraged to adopt regional response structures whenever appropriate. UASI program implementation and governance must include regional partners and should have balanced representation among entities with operational responsibilities for prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery activities within the region. In some instances, Urban Area boundaries cross State borders, States must ensure that the identified Urban Areas take an inclusive regional approach to the development and implementation of the UASI program and involve the contiguous jurisdictions, mutual aid partners, port authorities, rail and transit authorities, State agencies, State Wide Interoperability Coordinators, Citizen Corps Council(s), and campus law enforcement in their program activities. Grantees must also demonstrate the integration of children and individuals with disabilities or access and functional needs into activities implemented under this program. Composition Pursuant to provisions of the 9/11 Act, eligible UASI sites were determined based on an analysis of relative risk of the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), as defined by OMB. MSAs are used by DRS to determine eligibility for participation in the program. Geographical areas queried do not equate to minimum mandated membership representation of an Urban Area, nor does this guarantee funding for geographical areas queried. UAWGs must continue to take a regional approach to membership but are not required to expand or contract existing Urban Area participation to conform to MSA composition. Detailed information on MSAs is publicly available from the United States Census Bureau at httn : / /www census ov/ apa�la on wrow /metroareas /nret odefhtml. UASI Program Requirements The SAA will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the fiduciary and programmatic administration requirements of the UASI program, • Identify POCs.
