Recipients will use the components of the National Preparedness System to support building, sustaining, and delivering these core capabilities. 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 http / /Www. ema.gov /national - preparedness -s stem. Recipients 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 EMPG Program funding, all recipients shall develop and maintain a THIRA, which informs and supports an annual SPR. 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. A guide on how to complete a THIRA is available at https / /www fema Qov /threat- and - hazard - identification- and - risk - assessment. In Step Four of the THIRA process, a jurisdiction should estimate the resources required to deliver the capability targets established in their THIRAs. Communities express resource requirements as a list of resources needed to successfully manage their threats and hazards. Through the capability estimation process, jurisdictions should identify the resources from across the whole community needed to meet capability targets. Each jurisdiction should decide which combination of resources is most appropriate to achieve its capability targets. The SPR is an annual self - assessment of state preparedness submitted by the 56 states and territories to the FEMA. The Post - Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (PKEMRA) requires an SPR from any state or territory receiving federal preparedness assistance administered by the Department of Homeland Security. Reporting: • States are required to submit an annual update to their THIRA. States will submit their THIRA update along with their SPR through the URT and email a copy of the URT to their respective FEMA Regional Federal Preparedness Coordinator and copy fema- sprg/ema.dhs.pov. THIRA submissions shall be in alignment with CPG 201, Second Edition. State submissions of the THIRA and SPR are due no later than December 31 annually. Building and Sustaining Core Capabilities EMPG Program recipients should ensure that grant funding is utilized to sustain critical core capabilities within the National Preparedness System that were funded by past EMPG Program funding cycles. New capabilities should not be built at the expense of maintaining current and critically needed core capabilities. If new core capabilities are being built utilizing EMPG Program funding, recipients must ensure that the capabilities are deployable outside of their 26 FY 2015 EMPG Program 55B -34
