FYI <br />EMPG subrecipients seeking acquisition of controlled equipment using FYI EMPG funds <br />must complete FEMA Form 087- 0 -0 -1: Controlled Equipment Requests and submit it to <br />their Cal OES EMPG Program Specialist for review, consideration, and potential approval. <br />Note: Acquisition of the controlled equipment may NOT occur PRIOR to the subrecipient <br />receiving a FEMA Grants Program Directorate (GPD) approval from their Cal OES EMPG <br />Program Specialist, as well as satisfying all other controlled equipment associated requirements <br />and certifications.

Planning <br />• Organization <br />• Equipment Acquisitions <br />• Training <br />• Exercises <br />• EOC Constriction and Renovation <br />• Maintenance and Sustainment <br />The FYI EMPG Program plays an important role in the implementation of the National <br />Preparedness System (NPS)9 by supporting the development and sustainment of core <br />capabilities. Core capabilities are essential for the execution of each of the five mission areas <br />outlined in the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). The development and sustainment of these <br />core capabilities are not exclusive to any single level of government or organization, but rather <br />require the combined effort of the whole community. The FYI EMPG Program supports all <br />core capabilities in the Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission <br />areas based on allowable costs. <br />' Information Bulletin No. 407 can be located at: littps://www.fema.gov/media-libEW/assets/documents/I 14557 <br />s FEMA Form 087 -0 -0 -1 can be located at: https• / /www fema aov /media - library /assets /documents /115708 <br />' The National Preparedness System can be located at: biW://www.fema.gov/national-prgparedness-systein <br />[4] <br />55A -124 <br />
