a. Overview
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is one of three grant
programs that constitute the DHS/FEMA focus on enhancing the ability of state, local, tribal,
and territorial governments, as well as nonprofits, to prevent, protect against, respond to, and
recover from terrorist attacks. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of
measures authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS to help strengthen the Nation’s
communities against potential terrorist attacks. Among the five basic homeland security
missions noted in the DHS Strategic Plan, HSGP supports the goal to Strengthen National
Preparedness and Resilience.
4
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
In FY 2021, there are three components of HSGP:
1) State Homeland Security Program (SHSP): SHSP assists state, local, tribal, and
territorial efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent,
prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism.
2) Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI): UASI assists high-threat, high-density Urban
Area efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent,
prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism.
3) Operation Stonegarden (OPSG): OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and
coordination among Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Border
Patrol (USBP), and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies
to improve overall border security. OPSG provides funding to support joint efforts to
secure the United States’ borders along routes of ingress/egress to and from
international borders, to include travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and
Canada, as well as states and territories with international water borders. State, local,
tribal, and territorial (SLTT) law enforcement agencies utilize their inherent law
enforcement authorities to support the border security mission and do not receive any
additional authority as a result of participation in OPSG.
The 2018-2022 FEMA Strategic Plan creates a shared vision for reducing the risks posed by
terrorism and sets an ambitious, yet achievable, path forward to unify and further
professionalize emergency management across the country. HSGP supports the goals of
Building a Culture of Preparedness and Readying the Nation for Catastrophic Disasters. We
invite our stakeholders and partners to also adopt these priorities and join us in building a
more prepared and resilient Nation, as preparedness is a shared responsibility and funding
should support priorities that are most impactful and demonstrate the greatest return on
investment.
For FY 2021, DHS is focused on the criticality of information sharing and collaboration to
building a national culture of preparedness and protecting against terrorism and other
emerging threats to our national security. DHS and its homeland security mission were born
from the “failures among federal agencies and between the federal agencies and state and
local authorities to share critical information related to the threat of terrorism” prior to the
September 11, 2001, attacks.1 The threat profile has changed in the past two decades – we
now face continuous cyber threats by sophisticated actors, threats to soft targets and crowded
places, threats from domestic violent extremists, and threats from new and emerging
technologies. But information sharing and cooperation among state, local, and tribal
authorities and federal agencies, including all DHS officials, is just as vital, and perhaps even
more vital, today. Therefore, for FY 2021, we have identified five priority areas, tied to some
of the most serious threats that DHS would like to see addressed by state and local
1 Homeland Security Act of 2002: Report Together with Minority and Dissenting Views 222, Select Committee on
Homeland Security: 107th Congress, U.S. House of Representatives (2002) (H. Rpt. 107-609).

FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
governments, that recipients will need to address with their HSGP funds. Perhaps most
importantly, we will be focused on forging partnerships to strengthen information sharing
and collaboration in each of these priority areas and looking for recipients to remove barriers
to communication and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies.
b. Objective
The objective of the FY 2021 HSGP is to fund state, local, tribal, and territorial efforts to
prevent terrorism and prepare the Nation for threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to
the security of the United States.
c. Priorities
Given the evolving threat landscape, it is incumbent upon DHS/FEMA to continuously
evaluate the national risk profile and set priorities that help ensure appropriate allocation of
scarce security dollars. In assessing the national risk profile for FY 2021, five priority areas
attract the most concern. Due to the unique threats that the nation faces in 2021, DHS/FEMA
has determined that these five priorities should be addressed by allocating specific
percentages of SHSP and UASI funds to each of these five areas, for a total of 30 percent per
award. The following are the five priority areas for FY 2021, along with the corresponding
percentage of SHSP and UASI funds that each recipient will be required to designate to each
priority area in order to obtain a full allocation of SHSP and UASI funds:
1) Enhancing cybersecurity – 7.5 percent
2) Enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded places – 5 percent
3) Enhancing information and intelligence sharing and analysis, and cooperation with
federal agencies, including DHS – 5 percent
4) Combating domestic violent extremism – 7.5 percent
5) Addressing emergent threats (e.g., transnational criminal organizations, unmanned
aircraft systems [UASs], weapons of mass destruction [WMD], etc.) – 5 percent
Failure by a recipient to propose investments and projects that align with the five priority
areas and spending requirements will result in a recipient having a portion of their SHSP and
UASI funds (up to 30 percent) placed on hold until they provide projects that sufficiently
align to the National Priority Areas, and total at least the minimum percentage identified
above of total SHSP and UASI funds per National Priority Area.
A state or high-risk urban area must allocate the remaining 70 percent of their funding to
gaps identified through their Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)
and Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) process.
Likewise, there are several enduring security needs that crosscut the homeland security
enterprise to which recipients should consider allocating funding across core capability gaps
and national priorities. The following are enduring needs that help recipients implement a
comprehensive approach to securing communities:
1) Effective planning;
2) Training and awareness campaigns;
6
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
3) Equipment and capital projects; and
4) Exercises.
SHSP and UASI Funding Priorities
The table below provides a breakdown of the FY 2021 SHSP and UASI priorities (the focus
of OPSG remains unique to border security), showing the core capabilities enhanced and
lifelines supported, as well as examples of eligible project types for each area. A detailed
description of allowable investments for each project type is included in the Preparedness
Grants Manual. DHS/FEMA anticipates that in future years, national priorities will continue
to be included and will be updated as the threats evolve and as capability gaps are closed.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to begin planning to sustain existing capabilities through
funding mechanisms other than DHS preparedness grants.

For FY 2021, each SHSP and UASI recipient is required to submit an Investment
Justification (IJ) for each of the five National Priority Areas identified above. Each of these
five investments must also account for at least the relevant minimum percentage of the
applicant’s SHSP and UASI allocation. The fusion center project must be included under the
Information and Intelligence Sharing IJ. State Administrative Agencies (SAAs) may submit
complete project-level information at the time of application, including the five National
Priority Area IJs, but are not required to do so. As a reminder, all SHSP- and UASI-funded
projects must have a demonstrated nexus to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and
responding to acts of terrorism. However, such projects may simultaneously support
enhanced preparedness for disasters unrelated to acts of terrorism.
DHS/FEMA also requires SHSP and UASI recipients (states, territories, and high-risk urban
areas) to complete a THIRA/SPR and prioritize grant funding to support closing capability
gaps or sustaining capabilities that address national priorities and/or support enduring needs.

OPSG Allocations
For FY 2021, DHS/FEMA will award OPSG funds based on risk and the anticipated
effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review
process. The FY 2021 OPSG risk assessment is designed to identify the risk to border
security and to assist with the distribution of funds for the grant program. Funding under
OPSG is distributed based on the risk to the security of the border and the effectiveness of
the proposed projects. Entities eligible for funding are the state, local, and tribal law
13
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
enforcement agencies that are located along the border of the United States. DHS/FEMA will
make final award determinations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the
state’s application as described in Section D, below. The THIRA/SPR process is not required
for OPSG.
For the purposes of OPSG, the risk is defined as the potential for an adverse outcome
assessed as a function of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences associated with an
incident, event, or occurrence.
Based upon ongoing intelligence analysis and extensive security reviews, DHS/CBP
continues to focus the bulk of OPSG funds based upon risk analyses. The risk model used to
allocate OPSG funds considers the potential risk that certain threats pose to border security
and estimates the relative risk faced by a given area. In evaluating risk, DHS/CBP considers
intelligence, situational awareness, criminal trends, and statistical data specific to each of the
border sectors, and the potential impacts that these threats pose to the security of the border
area. For vulnerability and consequence, DHS/CBP considers the expected impact and
consequences of successful border events occurring in specific areas.
Threat and vulnerability are evaluated based on specific operational data from DHS/CBP.
Threat components present in each of the sectors are used to determine the overall threat
score. These components are terrorism, criminal aliens, drug trafficking organizations, and
alien smuggling organizations.
Effectiveness of the proposed investments will be evaluated based on the recipient’s
investment strategy, budget, collaboration, and past performance.
2. Projected Number of Awards: 56
3. Period of Performance: 36 months
Extensions to the period of performance are allowed. For additional information on period of
performance extensions, please refer to Section H of this NOFO and the Preparedness Grants
Manual.
FEMA awards under this program only include one budget period, so it will be same as the
period of performance. See 2 C.F.R. § 200.1 for definitions of “budget period” and “period of
performance.”
4. Projected Period of Performance Start Date(s): 10/01/2021
5. Projected Period of Performance End Date(s): 09/30/2024
6. Funding Instrument Type: Grant
C. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants
The SAA is the only entity eligible to submit HSGP applications to DHS/FEMA, including
14
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
those applications submitted on behalf of UASI and OPSG applicants. All 56 states and
territories, including any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, are eligible to apply for SHSP funds. Tribal
governments may not apply directly for HSGP funding; however, funding may be available
to tribes under the SHSP and OPSG through the SAA.
2. Applicant Eligibility Criteria
Eligible high-risk urban areas for the FY 2021 UASI program have been determined through
an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous MSAs in the United
States. Subawards will be made by the SAAs to the designated high-risk urban areas.
In FY 2021, OPSG eligible subrecipients are local units of government at the county level or
equivalent level of government and federally recognized tribal governments in states
bordering Canada or Mexico and states and territories with international water borders. All
applicants must have active ongoing USBP operations coordinated through a CBP sector
office to be eligible for OPSG funding.
In FY 2021, OPSG subrecipients eligible to apply for and receive a subaward directly from
the SAAs are divided into three Tiers. Tier 1 entities are local units of government at the
county level or equivalent and federally recognized tribal governments that are on a physical
border in states bordering Canada, states bordering Mexico, and states and territories with
international water borders. Tier 2 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical
border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 1 county. Tier 3 eligible
subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are
contiguous to a Tier 2 eligible subrecipient. The tier structure is only applicable with regard
to eligibility. OPSG funding allocations are based on the assessed border security risks as
determined by the USBP.
An application submitted by an otherwise eligible non-federal entity (i.e., the applicant) may
be deemed ineligible when the person that submitted the application is not: 1) a current
employee, personnel, official, staff, or leadership of the non-federal entity; and 2) duly
authorized to apply for an award on behalf of the non-federal entity at the time of
application.
Further, the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) must be a duly authorized
current employee, personnel, official, staff, or leadership of the recipient and provide an
email address unique to the recipient at the time of application and upon any change in
assignment during the period of performance. Consultants or contractors of the recipient
are not permitted to be the AOR of the recipient.
3. Other Eligibility Criteria
a. National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation
Prior to allocation of any federal preparedness awards, recipients must ensure and maintain
adoption and implementation of NIMS. The list of objectives used for progress and
15
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
achievement reporting is on FEMA’s website at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-
managers/nims/implementation-training.
Please see the Preparedness Grants Manual for more information on NIMS.
b. Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) Membership
In support of the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal), SHSP recipients must belong to, be
in, or act as a temporary member of EMAC, except for American Samoa and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not required to belong to EMAC
at this time. All assets supported in part or entirely with FY 2021 HSGP funding must be
readily deployable and NIMS-typed when possible to support emergency or disaster
operations per existing EMAC agreements. In addition, funding may be used for the
sustainment of core capabilities that, while they may not be physically deployable, support
national response capabilities, such as Geographic/Geospatial Information Systems (GIS),
interoperable communications systems, capabilities as defined under the Mitigation Mission
Area of the Goal, and fusion centers.
c. Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA)
Per section 2006 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended (6 U.S.C. § 607),
DHS/FEMA is required to ensure that at least 25 percent of grant funding appropriated for
grants awarded under HSGP’s authorizing statute are used for LETPAs. DHS/FEMA meets
this requirement, in part, by requiring all recipients allocate at least 25 percent of the
combined HSGP funds allocated under SHSP and UASI towards LETPAs, as defined in 6
U.S.C. § 607. The LETPA allocation can be from SHSP, UASI, or both. The 25 percent
LETPA allocation may be met by funding projects in any combination of the five National
Priority Areas identified above and any other investments. The 25 percent LETPA allocation
requirement is in addition to the 80 percent pass-through requirement to local units of
government and tribes, referenced below.
The National Prevention Framework describes those activities that should be executed upon
the discovery of intelligence or information regarding an imminent threat to the homeland, to
thwart an initial or follow-on terrorist attack and provides guidance to ensure the Nation is
prepared to identify, prevent, avoid, or stop a threatened or actual act of terrorism. Activities
outlined in the National Prevention Framework are eligible for use as LETPA-focused funds.
Also, where capabilities are shared with the protection mission area, the National Protection
Framework activities are also eligible. All other terrorism prevention activities proposed for
funding under LETPA must be approved by the FEMA Administrator.
4. Cost Share or Match
There is no cost share or match requirement for the FY 2021 HSGP.
D. Application and Submission Information

16
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
b. Application Submission Deadline: 05/14/2021 at 05 PM ET
All applications must be received by the established deadline.
The Non-Disaster (ND) Grants System has a date stamp that indicates when an application is
submitted. Applicants will receive an electronic message confirming receipt of their
submission. For additional information on how an applicant will be notified of application
receipt, see the subsection titled “Timely Receipt Requirements and Proof of Timely
Submission” in Section D of this NOFO.
FEMA will not review applications that are received after the deadline or consider
these late applications for funding. FEMA may, however, extend the application deadline
on request for any applicant who can demonstrate that good cause exists to justify extending
the deadline. Good cause for an extension may include technical problems outside of the
applicant’s control that prevent submission of the application by the deadline, other exigent
or emergency circumstances, or statutory requirements for FEMA to make an award.
Applicants experiencing technical problems outside of their control must notify FEMA
as soon as possible and before the application deadline. Failure to timely notify FEMA of
the issue that prevented the timely filing of the application may preclude consideration of the
award. “Timely notification” of FEMA means: prior to the application deadline and within
48 hours after the applicant became aware of the issue.
A list of FEMA contacts can be found in Section G of this NOFO, “DHS Awarding Agency
Contact Information.” For additional assistance using the ND Grants System, please contact

4. Steps Required to Obtain a Unique Entity Identifier, Register in the System for Award
Management (SAM), and Submit an Application
Applying for an award under this program is a multi-step process and requires time to
complete. Applicants are encouraged to register early as the registration process can take four
weeks or more to complete. Therefore, registration should be done in sufficient time to
ensure it does not impact your ability to meet required submission deadlines.
Please review the table above for estimated deadlines to complete each of the steps listed.
Failure of an applicant to comply with any of the required steps before the deadline for
submitting an application may disqualify that application from funding.
To apply for an award under this program, all applicants must:
a. Apply for, update, or verify their Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number
from Dun & Bradstreet and Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the Internal
Revenue Service;
b. In the application, provide a valid DUNS number, which is currently the unique entity
identifier;
c. Have an account with login.gov;
d. Register for, update, or verify their SAM account and ensure the account is active before
submitting the application;
e. Create a Grants.gov account;
f. Add a profile to a Grants.gov account;
g. Establish an AOR in Grants.gov;
h. Register in ND Grants
i. Submit an initial application in Grants.gov;
Starting application in Grants.gov One week before actual submission deadline
Submitting the final application in ND Grants By the submission deadline
18
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
j. Submit the final application in ND Grants, including electronically signing
applicable forms; and
k. Continue to maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times
during which it has an active federal award or an application or plan under consideration
by a federal awarding agency. As part of this, applicants must also provide information
on an applicant’s immediate and highest-level owner and subsidiaries, as well as on all
predecessors that have been awarded federal contracts or federal financial assistance
within the last three years, if applicable.
Specific instructions on how to apply for, update, or verify a DUNS number or SAM
registration or establish an AOR are included below in the steps for applying through
Grants.gov.
Applicants are advised that FEMA may not make a federal award until the applicant has
complied with all applicable DUNS and SAM requirements. Therefore, an applicant’s SAM
registration must be active not only at the time of application, but also during the application
review period and when FEMA is ready to make a federal award. Further, as noted above, an
applicant’s or recipient’s SAM registration must remain active for the duration of an active
federal award. If an applicant’s SAM registration is expired at the time of application, expires
during application review, or expires any other time before award, FEMA may determine
that the applicant is not qualified to receive a federal award and use that determination as a
basis for making a federal award to another applicant.
Per 2 C.F.R. § 25.110(c)(2)(ii), if an applicant is experiencing exigent circumstances that
prevents it from receiving a DUNS number and completing SAM registration prior to
receiving a federal award, the applicant must notify FEMA as soon as possible by contacting
askcsid@fema.dhs.gov and providing the details of the circumstances that prevent
completion of these requirements. If FEMA determines that there are exigent circumstances
and FEMA has decided to make an award, the applicant will be required to obtain a DUNS
number and complete SAM registration within 30 days of the federal award date.
5. Electronic Delivery
DHS is participating in the Grants.gov initiative to provide the grant community with a single
site to find and apply for grant funding opportunities. DHS encourages or requires applicants
to submit their applications online through Grants.gov, depending on the funding
opportunity.
For this funding opportunity, FEMA requires applicants to submit initial applications through
Grants.gov and a final application through ND Grants.
6. How to Register to Apply through Grants.gov
For information on how to register to apply through Grants.gov, please see the Preparedness
Grants Manual.
7. How to Submit an Initial Application to FEMA via Grants.gov
Standard Form 424 (SF-424) is the initial application for this NOFO.
19
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
Grants.gov applicants can apply online using a workspace. A workspace is a shared, online
environment where members of a grant team may simultaneously access and edit different
web forms within an application. For each Notice of Funding Opportunity, you can create
individual instances of a workspace. Applicants are encouraged to submit their initial
applications in Grants.gov at least seven days before the application deadline.
In Grants.gov, applicants need to submit the following forms:
• SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance
• Grants.gov Lobbying Form, Certification Regarding Lobbying
For further information on how to submit an initial application via Grants.gov, please see the
Preparedness Grants Manual.
8. Submitting the Final Application in ND Grants
After submitting the initial application in Grants.gov, eligible applicants will be notified by
FEMA and asked to proceed with submitting their complete application package in ND
Grants. Applicants can register early with ND Grants and are encouraged to begin their ND
Grants registration at the time of this announcement or, at the latest, seven days before the
application deadline. Early registration will allow applicants to have adequate time to start
and complete their applications.
Applicants needing assistance registering for the ND Grants system should contact
ndgrants@fema.dhs.gov or (800) 865-4076. For step-by-step directions on using the ND
Grants system and other guides, please see https://www.fema.gov/grants/guidance-tools/non-
disaster-grants-management-system.
In ND Grants, applicants will be prompted to submit the standard application information
and any program-specific information required as described in Section D.10 of this NOFO,
“Content and Form of Application Submission.”. The Standard Forms (SF) are auto
generated in ND Grants, but applicants may access these forms in advance through the Forms
tab under the SF-424 family on Grants.gov. Applicants should review these forms before
applying to ensure they have all the information required.
For additional application submission requirements, including program-specific
requirements, please refer to the subsection titled “Content and Form of Application
Submission” under Section D of this NOFO.
9. Timely Receipt Requirements and Proof of Timely Submission
As application submission is a two-step process, the applicant with the AOR role who
submitted the application in Grants.gov will receive an acknowledgement of receipt and a
tracking number (GRANTXXXXXXXX) from Grants.gov with the successful transmission
of its initial application. This notification does not serve as proof of timely submission, as
the application is not complete until it is submitted in ND Grants. Applicants can also
view the ND Grants Agency Tracking Number by accessing the Details tab in the submitted
workspace section in Grants.gov, under the Agency Tracking Number column. Should the
Agency Tracking Number not appear, the application has not yet migrated from Grants.gov
20
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
into the ND Grants System. Please allow 24 hours for your ND Grants application tracking
number to migrate.
All applications must be received in ND Grants by 5 PM ET on the application deadline.
Proof of timely submission is automatically recorded by ND Grants. An electronic date/time
stamp is generated within the system when the application is successfully received by ND
Grants. Additionally, the applicant(s) listed as contacts on the application will receive a
system-generated email to confirm receipt.
10. Content and Form of Application Submission
a. Standard Required Application Forms and Information
I. GRANTS.GOV
• SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance, initial application submitted through
Grants.gov
• Grants.gov Lobbying Form, Certification Regarding Lobbying, submitted through
Grants.gov
II. ND GRANTS
• SF-424A, Budget Information (Non-Construction), submitted via the forms generated
by ND Grants
o For construction under an award, submit SF-424C, Budget Information
(Construction), submitted via the forms generated by ND Grants, in addition to
or instead of SF-424A
• SF-424B, Standard Assurances (Non-Construction), submitted via the forms generated
by ND Grants
o For construction under an award, submit SF-424D, Standard Assurances
(Construction), submitted via the forms generated by ND Grants, in addition to
or instead of SF-424B
• SF-LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities, submitted via the forms generated by ND
Grants
• Indirect Cost Agreement or Proposal, submitted as an attachment in ND Grants if the
budget includes indirect costs and the applicant is required to have an indirect cost rate
agreement or proposal. If the applicant does not have or is not required to have an
indirect cost rate agreement or proposal, please see Section D.13 of this NOFO, “Funding
Restrictions and Allowable Costs,” for further information regarding allowability of
indirect costs and whether alternatives to an indirect cost rate agreement or proposal
might be available, or contact the relevant FEMA staff identified in Section G of this
NOFO, “DHS Awarding Agency Contact Information” for further instructions.
Generally, applicants have to submit either the non-construction forms (i.e., SF-424A and
SF-424B) or construction forms (i.e., SF-424C and SF-424D), meaning that applicants that
only have construction work and do not have any non-construction work need only submit
the construction forms (i.e., SF-424C and SF-424D) and not the non-construction forms (i.e.,
SF-424A and SF-424B), and vice versa. However, applicants who have both construction
and non-construction work under this program need to submit both the construction and non-
construction forms.

b. Program-Specific Required Forms and Information
I. IJ DEVELOPMENT: SHSP AND UASI
As part of the FY 2021 HSGP application process for SHSP and UASI funds, applicants
must develop formal IJs that address the proposed investments. Failure to fulfill of all of the
terms contained in this section will be considered by DHS/FEMA in its evaluation of the
effectiveness of the IJs submitted to meet the minimum percent spend requirement for each
National Priority Area. Failure to sufficiently align projects to the National Priority Areas
and meet the minimum percent spend requirement will result in funds being placed on hold
until those issues are addressed.
FY 2021 SHSP and UASI applications must include one (1) IJ and at least one (1) respective
project for each of the five National Priority Areas (Cybersecurity, Soft Targets/Crowded
Places, Intelligence and Information Sharing, Countering Domestic Violent Extremism, and
Emerging Threats) identified in this NOFO. Each of these five IJs must also meet or exceed
the minimum percent spend requirement based on the applicant’s SHSP and UASI allocation
stated in this NOFO. The SAA must submit one IJ per National Priority Area; all
projects associated with a National Priority Area must be submitted in the same IJ and
account for the relevant minimum spend requirement as a percentage of the SHSP or
UASI allocation. SAAs may submit complete project-level information at the time of
application but are not required to do so at the time of application. However, any SHSP or
UASI application that does not include an IJ for each National Priority Area that meets the
minimum spend requirement will have that funding placed on hold (up to the National
Priority Area, or up to 30 percent of the total award) until those IJs and project-level details
that sufficiently address the National Priority Areas are received and approved by
DHS/FEMA.
Each IJ must demonstrate how proposed investments:
• Support terrorism preparedness;
• Support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the community’s
THIRA/SPR process; and
• Support the overcoming of existing logistical, technological, legal, policy, and other
impediments to collaborating, networking, sharing information, cooperating, and
fostering a culture of national preparedness with federal, state, tribal, and local
governments, as well as other regional, and nonprofit partners in efforts to prevent,
prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism, to meet its target

• Of the proposed SHSP-funded investments, one single project, within the required
Intelligence and Information Sharing National Priority Area IJ, must be in support of a
designated fusion center. Recipients must coordinate with the fusion center when
developing a fusion center project prior to submission. See additional information on how
to develop the fusion center projects below and in the Preparedness Grants Manual.
• All emergency communications investments must describe how such activities align with
needs identified in their Statewide Communication Interoperability Plan (SCIP).
Recipients must coordinate with their Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC)
and/or Statewide Interoperability Governing Body (SIGB) when developing an
emergency communications investment prior to submission to ensure the project supports
the statewide strategy to improve emergency communications and is compatible and
interoperable with surrounding systems. The investment name must include the words
“emergency communications” to easily identify any emergency communications
investments.
• All requested funding must be associated with specific projects. For each project, several
pieces of information must be provided to submit the project for consideration in the
application, including:
o Project name;
o Project description;
o Subrecipient name, if applicable;

• Projects should describe how the proposed investment supports closing capability gaps or
sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR process.
• FEMA encourages states to use any DHS provided assessments, such as those performed
by DHS’s Protective Security Advisors and Cybersecurity Advisors, when developing
their IJs.
III. NATIONAL PRIORITY AREA INVESTMENTS: SHSP
States are encouraged to review the Strategic Framework for Countering Terrorism and
Targeted Violence when developing investments.
• Cybersecurity IJ (7.5 percent)
At least one investment must be in support of the state’s cybersecurity efforts. The
investment must meet or exceed the FY 2021 national priority percentage for
cybersecurity and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of
the proposed investments. Cybersecurity investments must support the security and
functioning of critical infrastructure and core capabilities as they relate to preventing,
preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism. Recipients and
subrecipients of FY 2021 HSGP grant awards will be required to complete the 2021
Nationwide Cybersecurity Review (NCSR), enabling agencies to benchmark and measure
progress of improving their cybersecurity posture. The Chief Information Officer (CIO),
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or equivalent for each recipient should
complete the NCSR. If there is no CIO or CISO, the most senior cybersecurity
professional should complete the assessment. The NCSR is available at no cost to the
user and takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete. The 2021 NCSR is estimated to be
open from October – December 2021.
The NCSR is an annual requirement for recipients and subrecipients of HSGP funds.
Additionally, FEMA recognizes that some subawards will not be issued until after the
NCSR has closed. In such cases, such subrecipients will be required to complete the first
available NCSR offered after the subaward has been issued by the pass-through entity.
Although not required by SLTTs that did not receive HSGP funds, all SLTT agencies
with preparedness responsibilities are highly encouraged to participate and complete the
NCSR to evaluate their cybersecurity posture. For detailed information and background
on the NCSR, please see IB 439.
• Soft Targets/Crowded Places IJ (5 percent)
Soft targets and crowded places are increasingly appealing to terrorists and other
extremist actors because of their relative accessibility and the large number of potential
targets. This challenge is complicated by the prevalent use of simple tactics and less
sophisticated attacks. Segments of our society are inherently open to the general public,
and by nature of their purpose do not incorporate strict security measures. Given the
increased emphasis by terrorists and other extremist actors to leverage less sophisticated
methods to inflict harm in public areas, it is vital that the public and private sectors
24
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
collaborate to enhance security of locations such as transportation centers, parks,
restaurants, shopping centers, special event venues, and similar facilities.
Given the increased risk to soft targets and crowded places, at least one investment must
be in support of the state’s efforts to protect soft targets/crowded places. Additionally, the
proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2021 national priority percentage for
soft targets/crowded places and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the
effectiveness of the proposed investments. Additional resources and information
regarding securing soft targets and crowded places are available through the
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. States are encouraged to engaged
DHS’ Protective Security Advisors’ security assessments of soft targets to ensure that
recommendations from those assessments are taken into consideration when allocating
grant funding.
• Information and Intelligence Sharing and Cooperation IJ (5 percent)
Effective homeland security operations rely on access to, analysis of, and the timely
sharing of open source, unclassified, and classified information, suspicious activity
reports, tips/leads, and actionable intelligence on indicators and behaviors to accurately
identify, assess, and mitigate a wide array of threats against the United States, including
terrorism, threats to life, targeted violence, and other threats within the DHS mission
space. Accordingly, DHS works diligently to enhance intelligence collection, integration,
analysis, and information sharing capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior
leaders receive actionable intelligence and information necessary to inform their
decisions and operations. A critical and statutorily charged mission of DHS is to deliver
intelligence and information to federal, state, local, and tribal governments and private
sector partners. Cooperation and information sharing among state, federal, and local
partners across all areas of the homeland security enterprise, including counterterrorism –
including both international and domestic terrorism, cybersecurity, border security,
transnational organized crime, immigration enforcement, economic security, and other
areas is critical to homeland security operations and the prevention of, preparation for,
protection against, and responding to acts of terrorism, and other threats to life and
criminal acts of targeted violence.
Given the importance of information sharing and collaboration to effective homeland
security solutions, at least one investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to
enhance information sharing and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies. As
noted above, this requirement must include at least one dedicated fusion center project.
Additional instructions on development of the fusion center project can be found below.
Applicants must justify persuasively how they will contribute to the information sharing
and collaboration purposes of the investment and a culture of national preparedness.
Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2021 national priority
percentage for information sharing and cooperation with DHS and will also be subject to
DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments. Additional
resources and information regarding collaboration and information sharing are available
through the Department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis.
25
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
• Domestic Violent Extremism IJ (7.5 percent)
As stated in the October 2020 DHS Homeland Threat Assessment, domestic violent
extremists, including ideologically motivated lone offenders and small groups, present
the most persistent and lethal terrorist threat to the Homeland. These violent extremists
capitalize on social and political tensions, which have resulted in an elevated threat
environment. They utilize social media platforms and other technologies to spread violent
extremist ideologies that encourage violence and influence action within the United
States. The COVID-19 pandemic has further created an environment that may lead to
accelerated mobilization to targeted violence and/or radicalization to domestic terrorism,
including driving lawful protests to incite violence, intimidate targets, and promote their
violent extremist ideologies.
Given the rise of domestic violent extremism in recent years, at least one investment must
be in support of the state’s efforts to combat the rise, influence, and spread of domestic
violent extremism. Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY
2021 national priority percentage for domestic violent extremism and will also be subject
to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments.
Please note that there currently is not a “Domestic Violent Extremism” Investment Type
option in the Grant Reporting Tool (GRT). Instead applicants should select the
“Standard” Investment Type and clearly name the IJ as “Domestic Violent Extremism
Priority Area” to ensure it is appropriately accounted for during FEMA’s administrative
and effectiveness reviews.
• Emerging Threats IJ (5 percent)
The spread of rapidly evolving and innovative technology, equipment, techniques, and
knowledge presents new and emerging dangers for homeland security in the years ahead.
Terrorists, criminal actors, and foreign adversaries continue to utilize open source and
other technologies to spread misinformation and sow discord in the United States. These
actors also remain intent on acquiring WMD capabilities, and rogue nations and non-state
actors are aggressively working to develop, acquire, and modernize WMDs that they
could use against the Homeland. Meanwhile, biological and chemical materials and
technologies with dual use capabilities are more accessible throughout the global market.
Due to the proliferation of such information and technologies, rogue nations and non-
state actors have more opportunities to develop, acquire, and use WMDs than ever
before. Similarly, the proliferation of UASs, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology
increase opportunities of threat actors to acquire and use these capabilities against the
United States and its interests.
Given the increased risk of these emerging threats, at least one investment must be in
support of the state’s efforts to address emerging threats. Additionally, the proposed
investment must meet or exceed the FY 2021 national priority percentage for emerging
threats and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the
proposed investments. Additional resources and information regarding emerging threats
are available through the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office and the
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

• Information and Intelligence Sharing and Cooperation
Effective border security operations rely on access to, analysis of, and the timely sharing
of open source, unclassified, and classified information, suspicious activity reports,
tips/leads, and actionable intelligence on indicators and behaviors to accurately identify,
assess, and mitigate a wide array of threats against the United States, including terrorism,
threats to life, targeted violence, and other threats within the DHS mission space.
Accordingly, DHS works diligently to enhance intelligence collection, integration,
analysis, and information sharing capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior
leaders receive actionable intelligence and information necessary to inform their
decisions and operations. One critical, statutorily required mission of DHS is to deliver
intelligence and information to federal, state, local, and tribal governments and private
sector partners. Cooperation and information sharing among state, federal, and local
partners across all areas of the homeland security enterprise, including both international
and domestic terrorism, cybersecurity, transnational organized crime, economic security,
border security, immigration enforcement, and other areas is critical to homeland security
operations and the prevention of, preparation for, protection against, and responding to
acts of terrorism, and other threats to life and criminal acts of targeted violence.
Given the importance of information sharing and collaboration to effective homeland
security solutions, the CONOP must support the recipient’s efforts to enhance
information sharing and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies. Applicants
must justify persuasively how they will contribute to the information sharing and
collaboration purposes of the OPSG program and a culture of national preparedness.
Additional resources and information regarding collaboration and information sharing are

FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
II. DEFINITIONS
Per section 889(f)(2)-(3) of the FY 2019 NDAA and 2 C.F.R. § 200.216, covered
telecommunications equipment or services means:
i. Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company or
ZTE Corporation, (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities);
ii. For the purpose of public safety, security of Government facilities, physical
security surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security
purposes, video surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by
Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology
Company, or Dahua Technology Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such
entities);
iii. Telecommunications or video surveillance services provided by such entities or
using such equipment; or
iv. Telecommunications or video surveillance equipment or services produced or
provided by an entity that the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the
Director of National Intelligence or the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, reasonably believes to be an entity owned or controlled by, or
otherwise connected to, the People’s Republic of China.
Examples of the types of products covered by this prohibition include phones, internet, video
surveillance, and cloud servers when produced, provided, or used by the entities listed in the
definition of “covered telecommunications equipment or services.” See 2 C.F.R. § 200.471.
b. Pre-Award Costs
Pre-award costs are allowable only with the prior written approval of DHS/FEMA and as
included in the award agreement. To request pre-award costs, a written request must be
included with the application, signed by the AOR of the entity. The letter must outline what
the pre-award costs are for, including a detailed budget break-out of pre-award costs from the
post-award costs, and a justification for approval.
c. Management and Administration (M&A) Costs
Management and administration (M&A) activities are those directly relating to the
management and administration of HSGP funds, such as financial management and
monitoring. A maximum of up to five percent of HSGP funds awarded may be retained by
the state, and any funds retained are to be used solely for M&A purposes associated with the
HSGP award. Subrecipients may also retain a maximum of up to five percent of the funding
passed through by the state solely for M&A purposes associated with the HSGP award.
Recipients or subrecipients may apply or credit M&A funding toward the recipient’s
requirement to allocate funding toward the five National Priority Areas. For example, if a
recipient spends $5,000 to manage or administer its funding dedicated toward its enhancing
cybersecurity investment, the recipient may credit that funding toward its requirement to
allocate at least 7.5 percent of its award to the enhancing cybersecurity National Priority
Area.
35
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
A state’s HSGP funds for M&A calculation purposes includes the total of its SHSP, UASI,
and OPSG awards. While the SAA may retain up to five percent of this total for M&A, the
state must still ensure that all subrecipient award amounts meet the mandatory minimum
pass-through requirements that are applicable to each HSGP program. To meet this
requirement, the percentage of SHSP and UASI funds passed through to local or tribal
jurisdictions must be based on the state’s total HSGP award prior to withholding any M&A.
In retaining these funds, states may retain a maximum of 2.5 percent of the OPSG allocation,
which must be withheld from the pass-through to each subrecipient county or tribe in an
equal percentage. The SAA may also retain additional funding from its SHSP award to
manage and administer the OPSG award, but that additional amount is also capped at an
amount equal to 2.5 percent of the OPSG award. Examples applying this principle:
SAA 1:
SHSP: $1,000,000 OPSG: $2,500,000 UASI: $2,500,000
M&A Maximum: $300,000 (5 percent of $6,000,000)
Maximum M&A for SHSP = $50,000
Maximum M&A for OPSG = $125,000. Of that amount, $62,500 (2.5 percent) may be
retained from the OPSG allocation, and the other $62,500 would come from the SHSP
allocation. Any amount used to manage and administer OPSG that is charged to SHSP
may be above and beyond the $50,000 available to manage the SHSP allocation.
Maximum M&A for UASI = $125,000
SAA 2:
SHSP: $3,500,000 OPSG: $1,000,000
M&A Maximum: $225,000 (5 percent of $4,500,000)
Maximum M&A for SHSP = $175,000
Maximum M&A for OPSG = $50,000. Of that amount, $25,000 (2.5 percent) may be
retained from the OPSG allocation, and the other $25,000 would come from the SHSP
allocation. Any amount used to manage and administer OPSG that is charged to SHSP
may be above and beyond the $175,000 available to manage the SHSP allocation.
HSGP recipients are also reminded that any M&A charged to a recipient’s or subrecipient’s
UASI funding must be directly allocable to administration of the UASI grant program and
cannot be used to cover M&A costs that are directly allocable to SHSP or OPSG funding.
Similarly, any M&A charged to a recipient’s or subrecipient’s SHSP or OPSG funding
cannot be used to cover M&A costs directly allocable to UASI funding.
Additionally, if a state/territory receives Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) funding,
it may use SHSP M&A funding to cover M&A costs related to the management of NSGP-
State awards, and UASI M&A funding to cover M&A costs related to the management of
NSGP-Urban Area awards.
Please note, IB 365: Management and Administration Costs in the Homeland Security Grant
Program and DHS/FEMA Policy 207-087-1 do not apply to awards made in FY 2021
under this NOFO. Please also reference IB 416 for additional clarification on OPSG M&A,
36
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
but to the extent that there is any conflict between IB 416 and this NOFO, the requirements
of this NOFO will apply to FY 2021 awards made under this NOFO.
d. Indirect Facilities & Administrative (F&A) Costs
Indirect costs are allowable under this program as described in 2 C.F.R. Part 200, including 2
C.F.R. § 200.414. Applicants with a current negotiated indirect cost rate agreement that
desire to charge indirect costs to an award must provide a copy of their negotiated indirect
cost rate agreement at the time of application. Not all applicants are required to have a
current negotiated indirect cost rate agreement. Applicants that are not required by 2 C.F.R.
Part 200 to have a negotiated indirect cost rate agreement but are required by 2 C.F.R. Part
200 to develop an indirect cost rate proposal must provide a copy of their proposal at the time
of application. Applicants who do not have a current negotiated indirect cost rate agreement
(including a provisional rate) and wish to charge the de minimis rate must reach out to the
FEMA Grants Management Specialist for further instructions. Applicants who wish to use a
cost allocation plan in lieu of an indirect cost rate must also reach out to the FEMA Grants
Management Specialist for further instructions. Post-award requests to charge indirect costs
will be considered on a case-by-case basis and based upon the submission of an agreement or
proposal as discussed above or based upon on the de minimis rate or cost allocation plan, as
applicable.
f. Funds Transfer Restriction
The recipient is prohibited from transferring funds between programs (includes SHSP, UASI,
and OPSG). Recipients can submit an investment/project where funds come from multiple
funding sources (e.g., SHSP and UASI), however, recipients are not allowed to divert
funding from one program to another due to the risk-based funding allocations, which were
made at the discretion of DHS/FEMA.
e. Other Direct Costs
I. PLANNING
Planning costs are allowed under this program. Please see the Preparedness Grants Manual
for more information.
II. ORGANIZATION
Organization costs are allowed under this program. Please see the Preparedness Grants
Manual for more information.
III. EQUIPMENT
Equipment costs are allowed under this program. Please see the Preparedness Grants Manual
for more information.
• General Purpose Equipment
HSGP allows expenditures on general purpose equipment if it aligns to and supports one or
more core capabilities identified in the Goal and has a nexus to terrorism preparedness.
General purpose equipment, like all equipment funded under the HSGP, must be sharable
37
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
through the EMAC 2 and allowable under 6 U.S.C. § 609, and any other applicable provision
of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Examples of such general-purpose
equipment may include:
o Law enforcement vehicles;
o Emergency medical services (EMS) equipment and vehicles;
o Fire service equipment and vehicles, to include hose, pump accessories, and foam
concentrate for specialized CBRNE response;
o Interoperability of data systems, such as computer aided dispatch (CAD) and record
management systems (RMS); and
o Office equipment for staff 3 engaged in homeland security program activity.
• Controlled Equipment
For decades, the federal government has provided equipment to state, local, and tribal law
enforcement agencies (LEAs) through federal grants. Some federal grant programs have
assisted LEAs as they carry out their critical missions to keep the American people safe. The
equipment acquired by LEAs through these programs includes administrative equipment,
such as office furniture and computers. Some federal grant programs also may include
military and military-styled equipment, firearms, and tactical vehicles provided by the federal
government, including property covered under 22 C.F.R. Part 121 and 15 C.F.R. Part 774
(collectively, "controlled equipment").
However, not all equipment that is considered controlled equipment is allowable under the
HSGP. As discussed further below, there are certain “prohibited equipment” that are not
allowable under HSGP. And for the procurement of certain controlled equipment that is
allowable under the HSGP, there are additional submission requirements and reviews that
must be met before DHS/FEMA will permit funding to be used for this purpose.
DHS/FEMA will continue to collaborate with federal agency partners to ensure that there is a
consistent and reasonable approach to the restrictions placed on controlled equipment
expenditures while continuing to support these investments when there is a justifiable need.
Further, DHS/FEMA will continue to maintain an awareness of the evolving policy
developments related to controlled equipment expenditures and keep grant recipients up to
date on future developments.
Grant funds under this program may not be used for the purchase of equipment not approved
by DHS/FEMA. The purchase of weapons and weapons accessories, including ammunition,
is not allowed with HSGP funds. Grant funds under this program must also comply with IB
426 and may not be used for the purchase of the following equipment: 1) firearms; 2)
2 Except for American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not required to
belong to EMAC at this time.
3 This applies to all homeland security personnel and is not limited to M&A staff, and costs are to be captured
outside the cap on M&A costs
38

VII. OPERATIONAL OVERTIME
Operational overtime costs are allowed under this program. Prior to use of funds for
operational overtime, recipients must receive approval from DHS/FEMA. Operational
overtime costs are also subject to the 50 percent personnel cap. Please see the Preparedness
Grants Manual for more information.
VIII. TRAVEL
Domestic travel costs are allowed under this program, as provided for in this NOFO and in
the Preparedness Grants Manual. International travel is not an allowable cost under this
program unless approved in advance by DHS/FEMA.
IX. CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION
Construction and renovation costs to achieve capability targets related to preventing,
preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism are allowed under this
program. For construction and renovation costs to be allowed, they must be specifically
approved by DHS/FEMA in writing prior to the use of any program funds. Applicants must
use the Environmental Planning and Historical Preservation (EHP) approval process. Limits
on the total amount of grant funding that may be used for construction or renovation may
apply. Additionally, recipients are required to submit SF-424C and SF-424D. Please see the
Preparedness Grants Manual for more information.
X. MAINTENANCE AND SUSTAINMENT

E. Application Review Information
1. Application Evaluation Criteria
a. Programmatic Criteria
42
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
I. RISK METHODOLOGY
The risk methodology determines the relative risk of terrorism faced by a given area
considering the potential risk of terrorism to people, critical infrastructure, and economic
security. The analysis includes, but is not limited to, threats from violent domestic extremists,
international terrorist groups, and individuals inspired by terrorists abroad. See the
Preparedness Grants Manual for additional information on the risk methodology.
NOTE: The THIRA/SPR process is separate from the risk methodology and its results do not
affect grant allocations.
The Risk Methodology is used to inform allocations under HSGP. For more information on
the SHSP, UASI, and OPSG allocation processes, please see Section B.1 of this NOFO,
“Available Funding for the NOFO.”
II. APPLICATION EVALUATION CRITERIA
FEMA will evaluate the FY 2021 HSGP applications for completeness, adherence to
programmatic guidelines, and anticipated effectiveness of the proposed investments.
FEMA’s review will include verification that each IJ and project:
• Aligns with at least one core capability identified in the Goal;
• Demonstrates how investments support closing capability gaps or sustaining
capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR process; and
• Supports a NIMS-typed resource and whether those assets are deployable/shareable to
support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements.
In addition to the above, FEMA will evaluate whether proposed projects are: 1) both feasible
and effective at reducing the risks for which the project was designed; and 2) able to be fully
completed within the three-year period of performance. FEMA will use the information
provided in the application and after the submission of the first BSIR to determine the
feasibility and effectiveness of a grant project. To that end, IJs should include:
• An explanation of how the proposed project(s) will achieve objectives as identified in
the SPR, including expected long-term impact where applicable, and which core
capability gap(s) it helps to close and how;
• A summary of the status of planning and design efforts accomplished to date (e.g.,
included in a capital improvement plan); and
• A project schedule with clear milestones.
Recipients are expected to conform, as applicable, with accepted engineering practices,
established codes, standards, modeling techniques, and best practices, and participate in the
development of case studies demonstrating the effective use of grant funds, as requested.
FEMA will also review any submitted National Priority Area-aligned IJs and projects to
ensure they meet the minimum spend requirement. Further information on how the National
Priority Area IJs and projects will be reviewed for effectiveness is included in the Review
and Selection Process section below.
43
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
b. Financial Integrity Criteria
Prior to making a federal award, FEMA is required by 31 U.S.C. § 3354, as amended by the
Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019, Pub. L. No. 116-117 (2020); 41 U.S.C. § 2313;
and 2 C.F.R. § 200.206 to review information available through any Office of Management
and Budget (OMB)-designated repositories of governmentwide eligibility qualification or
financial integrity information, including whether the applicant is suspended or debarred.
FEMA may also pose additional questions to the applicant to aid in conducting the pre-award
risk review. Therefore, application evaluation criteria may include the following risk-based
considerations of the applicant:
i. Financial stability.
ii. Quality of management systems and ability to meet management standards.
iii. History of performance in managing federal award.
iv. Reports and findings from audits.
v. Ability to effectively implement statutory, regulatory, or other requirements.
c. Supplemental Financial Integrity Criteria and Review
Prior to making a federal award where the anticipated total federal share will be greater than
the simplified acquisition threshold, currently $250,000:
i. FEMA is required to review and consider any information about the applicant,
including information on the applicant’s immediate and highest-level owner,
subsidiaries, and predecessors, if applicable, that is in the designated integrity
and performance system accessible through the System for Award
Management (SAM), which is currently the Federal Awardee Performance
and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS).
ii. An applicant, at its option, may review information in FAPIIS and comment
on any information about itself that a federal awarding agency previously
entered.
iii. FEMA will consider any comments by the applicant, in addition to the other
information in FAPIIS, in making a judgment about the applicant’s integrity,
business ethics, and record of performance under federal awards when
completing the review of risk posed by applicants as described in 2 C.F.R. §
200.206.
2. Review and Selection Process
a. SHSP and UASI
All proposed investments will undergo a federal review by DHS/FEMA to verify compliance
with all administrative and eligibility criteria identified in the NOFO. The federal review will
be conducted by FEMA HQ Preparedness Officers. FEMA HQ Preparedness Officers will
use a checklist to verify compliance with all administrative and eligibility criteria identified
in the NOFO. Recipients must be able to demonstrate how investments support closing
capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR process. IJs will be
reviewed at both the investment and project level.
44
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
Emergency communications investments will be jointly reviewed by FEMA and the DHS
Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) to verify compliance with SAFECOM
guidance. FEMA and OEC will coordinate directly with the recipient on any compliance
concerns and will provide technical assistance as necessary to help ensure full compliance.
Additional Effectiveness Evaluation Criteria for the National Priority Areas
FEMA will evaluate the FY 2021 HSGP IJs and projects submitted in support of the National
Priority Areas for anticipated effectiveness. FEMA’s review will include verification that
each IJ or project meets the National Priority Area required spend percentages.
Cybersecurity investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, CISA, and other DHS
components as appropriate, for compliance with purposes and requirements of the priority
investment area. Proposed investments will be reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria
set forth in this NOFO.
Soft Targets/Crowded Places investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, CISA, and other
DHS components as appropriate, for compliance with purposes and requirements of the
priority investment area. Proposed investments will be reviewed for effectiveness using the
criteria set forth in this NOFO.
Information Sharing and Cooperation Investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, DHS
Office of Intelligence and Analysis, and other DHS components as appropriate, for
compliance with purposes and requirements of the priority investment area. Proposed
investments will be reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria set forth in this NOFO.
For additional information on Fusion Center requirements, please see the Preparedness
Grants Manual.
Domestic violent extremism investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, DHS Office of
Intelligence and Analysis, and other DHS components as appropriate, for compliance with
purposes and requirements of the priority investment area. Proposed investments will be
reviewed for effectiveness using the scoring criteria set forth in this NOFO.
Emerging threats investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, DHS Countering Weapons
of Mass Destruction Office, and other DHS components as appropriate, for compliance with
purposes and requirements of the priority investment area. Proposed investments will be
reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria set forth in this NOFO.
FEMA will determine whether the proposed approach is clear, logical, and reasonable to
address the priority areas of interest and contribute to a culture of national preparedness. This
part considers factors such as the objectives and strategies proposed to address the priority
area, how the objectives and strategies overcome legal, political, or practical obstacles to
reduce overall risk, the process and criteria to select additional relevant projects, and the
approach to monitor awards to satisfy the funding percentage allocations.
45
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
For applicants that elect to submit IJs and project-level details for the National Priority Areas
at the time of application, effectiveness will be evaluated prior to award. If the projects are
found to not sufficiently align with the National Priority Area(s), applicants may have funds
placed on hold (up to 30 percent) until the projects are revised to satisfactorily address the
National Priority Areas.
For applicants that elect to submit IJs and project-level details for the National Priority Areas
as part of the December 2021 BSIR, they will have funds placed on hold in the amount of 30
percent (the sum of all National Priority Area). The hold will be released only after their
December 2021 BSIR submission has been reviewed, and projects related to the National
Priority Areas deemed in alignment by DHS/FEMA.
SAAs are still required to meet pass-through requirements even if funds are on
hold related to the National Priority Areas.
To that end, IJs should include:
• How the proposed investment addresses the National Priority Area;
• An explanation of how the proposed projects were selected and will achieve
objectives and strategies to build or sustain the core capability gaps identified in the
SPR, including expected long-term impact where applicable;
• A summary of laws, policies and practices that can be enhanced, eliminated, or
otherwise changed in order to achieve the goals of the project and foster a culture of
national preparedness; and
• A summary of the collaboration efforts to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and
respond to acts of terrorism as well as anticipated outcomes of the project.
For FY 2021 SHSP and UASI investments and projects related to the National Priority
Areas, effectiveness will be evaluated based on the following five factors:
• Investment Strategy (30%): Proposals will be evaluated based on the quality and
extent to which applicants describe an effective strategy that demonstrates that
proposed projects support the program objective of preventing, preparing for,
protecting against, and responding to acts of terrorism, to meet its target capabilities,
and otherwise reduce the overall risk to the high-risk urban area, the state, or the
Nation.
• Budget (10%): Proposals will be evaluated based on the extent to which applicants
describe a budget plan for each investment demonstrating how the applicant will
maximize cost effectiveness of grant expenditures.
• Impact/Outcomes (30%): Proposals will be evaluated on how this investment helps
the jurisdiction close capability gaps identified in its SPR and addresses the relevant
National Priority Area outlined in this NOFO. Further, proposals will be evaluated on
their identification and estimated improvement of core capability(ies), the associated
standardized target(s) that align with their proposed investment, and the ways in
which the applicant will measure and/or evaluate improvement.
46
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
• Collaboration (30%): Proposals will be evaluated based on the degree to which the
proposal adequately details how the recipient will use investments and other means to
overcome existing logistical, technological, legal, policy, and other impediments to
collaborating, networking, sharing information, cooperating, and fostering a culture
of national preparedness with federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as
other regional and nonprofit partners. Collaboration should improve efforts to
prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism, to meet target
capabilities, support the national security mission of DHS and other federal agencies,
and to otherwise reduce the overall risk to the high-risk urban area, the state, or the
Nation. In evaluating applicants under this factor FEMA will consider the information
provided by the applicant and may also consider relevant information from other
sources.
• Past Performance (additional consideration): Proposals will be evaluated based on the
applicants demonstrated capability to execute the proposed investments. In evaluating
applicants under this factor FEMA will consider the information provided by the
applicant and may also consider relevant information from other sources.
b. OPSG
Applications will be reviewed by the SAA and USBP Sector Headquarters for completeness
and adherence to programmatic guidelines and evaluated for anticipated feasibility, need, and
impact of the Operations Orders. For more information on Operations Orders and other
requirements of OPSG, see the Preparedness Grants Manual.
DHS/FEMA will verify compliance with all administrative and eligibility criteria identified
in the NOFO and required submission of Operations Orders and Inventory of Operations
Orders by the established due dates. DHS/FEMA and USBP will use the results of both the
risk analysis and the federal review by DHS/FEMA to make recommendations for funding to
the Secretary of Homeland Security.
FY 2021 OPSG funds will be allocated competitively based on risk-based prioritization using
the OPSG Risk Assessment described above. Final funding allocations are determined by the
Secretary of Homeland Security, who may consider information and input from various law
enforcement offices or subject-matter experts within the Department. Factors considered
include, but are not limited to threat, vulnerability, miles of the border, and other border-
specific law enforcement intelligence, as well as the feasibility of FY 2021 Operations
Orders to designated localities within border states and territories.
F. Federal Award Administration Information
1. Notice of Award
Before accepting the award, the AOR and recipient should carefully read the award package.
The award package includes instructions on administering the grant award and the terms and
conditions associated with responsibilities under federal awards. Recipients must accept all
conditions in this NOFO and the Preparedness Grants Manual as well as any specific
terms and conditions in the Notice of Award to receive an award under this program.
See the Preparedness Grants Manual for information on Notice of Award.

FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
2. Pass-Through Requirements
Awards made to the SAA for HSGP carry additional pass-through requirements. Pass-
through is defined as an obligation on the part of the SAA to make funds available to local
units of government, combinations of local units, tribal governments, or other specific groups
or organizations. Four requirements must be met to pass-through grant funds:
• The SAA must make a firm written commitment to passing through
grant funds to subrecipients;
• The SAA’s commitment must be unconditional (i.e., no contingencies for the
availability of SAA funds);
• There must be documentary evidence (i.e., award document, terms, and
conditions) of the commitment; and
• The award terms must be communicated to the subrecipient.
Timing and Amount
The SAA must pass-through at least 80 percent of the funds awarded under the SHSP and
UASI to local or tribal units of government within 45 calendar days of receipt of the funds.
“Receipt of the funds” occurs either when the SAA accepts the award or 15 calendar days
after the SAA receives notice of the award, whichever is earlier.
SAAs are sent notification of HSGP awards via the GPD’s ND Grants system. If an SAA
accepts its award within 15 calendar days of receiving notice of the award in the ND Grants
system, the 45-calendar days pass-through period will start on the date the SAA accepted the
award. Should an SAA not accept the HSGP award within 15 calendar days of receiving
notice of the award in the ND Grants system, the 45-calendar days pass-through period will
begin 15 calendar days after the award notification is sent to the SAA via the ND Grants
system.
It is important to note that the period of performance start date does not directly affect the
start of the 45-calendar days pass-through period. For example, an SAA may receive notice
of the HSGP award on September 20, 2021, while the period of performance dates for that
award are October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2024. In this example, the 45-day pass-
through period will begin on the date the SAA accepts the HSGP award or October 5, 2021
(15 calendar days after the SAA was notified of the award), whichever date occurs first. The
period of performance start date of October 1, 2021 would not affect the timing of meeting
the 45-calendar day pass-through requirement.
Other SHSP and UASI Pass-Through Requirements
The signatory authority of the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA that pass-through
requirements have been met. A letter of intent (or equivalent) to distribute funds is not
considered sufficient. The pass-through requirement does not apply to SHSP awards made to
the District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is
required to comply with the pass-through requirement, and its SAA must also obligate at
least 80 percent of the funds to local units of government within 45 calendar days of receipt
of the funds.
48
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
Under SHSP, the SAA may retain more than 20 percent of funding for expenditures made by
the state on behalf of the local unit(s) of government. This may occur only with the written
consent of the local unit of government, specifying the amount of funds to be retained and
the intended use of funds. States shall review their written consent agreements yearly and
ensure that they are still valid. If a written consent agreement is already in place from
previous fiscal years, DHS/FEMA will continue to recognize it for FY 2021, unless the
written consent review indicates the local government is no longer in agreement. If
modifications to the existing agreement are necessary, the SAA should contact their assigned
FEMA HQ Preparedness Officer.
Additional OPSG Requirements
The recipient is prohibited from obligating or expending funds provided through this award
until each unique and specific county-level or equivalent Operational Order/Fragmentary
Operations Order budget has been reviewed and approved through an official electronic mail
notice issued by DHS/FEMA removing this special programmatic condition.
3. Administrative and National Policy Requirements
In addition to the requirements of in this section and in this NOFO, FEMA may place
specific terms and conditions on individual awards in accordance with 2 C.F.R. Part 200.
In addition to the information regarding DHS Standard Terms and Conditions and Ensuring
the Protection of Civil Rights, see the Preparedness Grants Manual for additional information
on administrative and national policy requirements, including the following:
• EHP Compliance
• FirstNet
• NIMS Implementation
• SAFECOM
a. DHS Standard Terms and Conditions
All successful applicants for DHS grant and cooperative agreements are required to comply
with DHS Standard Terms and Conditions, which are available online at DHS Standard
Terms and Conditions.
The applicable DHS Standard Terms and Conditions will be those in effect at the time the
award was made. What terms and conditions will apply for the award will be clearly stated in
the award package at the time of award.
b. Ensuring the Protection of Civil Rights
As the Nation works towards achieving the National Preparedness Goal, it is important to
continue to protect the civil rights of individuals. Recipients and subrecipients must carry out
their programs and activities, including those related to the building, sustainment, and
delivery of core capabilities, in a manner that respects and ensures the protection of civil
rights for protected populations.
49
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
Federal civil rights statutes, such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title
VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, along with FEMA regulations, prohibit discrimination on
the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, limited English
proficiency, or economic status in connection with programs and activities receiving federal
financial assistance from FEMA.
The DHS Standard Terms and Conditions include a fuller list of the civil rights provisions
that apply to recipients. These terms and conditions can be found in the DHS Standard Terms
and Conditions. Additional information on civil rights provisions is available at
https://www.fema.gov/about/offices/equal-rights.
Monitoring and oversight requirements in connection with recipient compliance with federal
civil rights laws are also authorized pursuant to 44 C.F.R. Part 7.
c. EHP Compliance
As a federal agency, FEMA is required to consider the effects of its actions on the
environment and historic properties to ensure that all activities and programs funded by
FEMA, including grant-funded projects, comply with federal EHP laws, Executive Orders,
regulations, and policies, as applicable.
Recipients and subrecipients proposing projects that have the potential to impact the
environment, including, but not limited to, the construction of communication towers,
modification or renovation of existing buildings, structures, and facilities, or new
construction including replacement of facilities, must participate in the FEMA EHP
review process. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project
description along with any supporting documentation requested by FEMA in order to
determine whether the proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources
or historic properties.
In some cases, FEMA is also required to consult with other regulatory agencies and the
public in order to complete the review process. Federal law requires EHP review to be
completed before federal funds are released to carry out proposed projects. FEMA may not
be able to fund projects that are not incompliance with applicable EHP laws, Executive
Orders, regulations, and policies.
DHS and FEMA EHP policy is found in directives and instructions available on the
FEMA.gov EHP page, the FEMA website page that includes documents regarding EHP
responsibilities and program requirements, including implementation of the National
Environmental Policy Act and other EHP regulations and Executive Orders.
The GPD EHP screening form is located at https://www.fema.gov/media-
library/assets/documents/90195. Additionally, all recipients under this funding opportunity
are required to comply with the FEMA GPD EHP Policy Guidance, FEMA Policy #108-023-
1, available at https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/85376.
50
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
d. NIMS Implementation
In expending funds under this program, recipients that are state, local, tribal, or territorial
governments must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS. The state,
local, tribal, or territorial government must show adoption of NIMS during any point of the
period of performance. The list of objectives used for progress and achievement reporting is
at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation-training.
Emergency management and incident response activities require carefully managed resources
(personnel, teams, facilities, equipment, and/or supplies) to meet incident needs. Using
standardized resource management concepts such as typing, credentialing, and inventorying,
promote a strong national mutual aid capability needed to support delivery of core
capabilities. Additional information on resource management, NIMS resource typing
definitions, job titles, and position qualifications is on FEMA’s website at
https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/components.
FEMA developed the National Incident Management System Guideline for the National
Qualification System to describe national credentialing standards and to provide written
guidance regarding the use of those standards. This guideline describes credentialing and
typing processes and identifies tools which Federal Emergency Response Officials and
emergency managers at all levels of government may use both routinely and to facilitate
multijurisdictional coordinated responses.
Although state, local, tribal, and private sector partners (including nongovernmental
organizations) are not required to credential their personnel in accordance with these
guidelines, FEMA strongly encourages them to do so to leverage the federal investment in
the Federal Information Processing Standards 201 infrastructure and to facilitate
interoperability for personnel deployed outside their home jurisdiction.
Additional information about NIMS in general is available at
https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims.
e. Emergency Communications Investments
If an entity uses HSGP funding to support emergency communications investments, the
following requirements shall apply to all such grant-funded communications investments in
support of the emergency communications priorities and recognized best practices:
• The signatory authority for the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA their
compliance with the SAFECOM Guidance. The certification letter should be
coordinated with the SWIC for each state and must be uploaded to ND Grants at the
time of the first Program Performance Report (PPR) submission.
• All states and territories must designate a full-time SWIC who has the authority and
resources to actively improve interoperability with emergency management and
response agencies across all levels of government, to include establishing statewide
plans, policies, and procedures, and coordinating decisions on communications
investments funded through federal grants. Note that the designated full-time SWIC
may also be the state’s or territory’s cybersecurity point of contact. SWIC status
51
FY 2021 HSGP NOFO Back to the Top
information will be maintained by CISA and will be verified by FEMA GPD through
programmatic monitoring activities.
• By the period of performance end date, all states and territories must update the SCIP,
with a focus on communications resilience/continuity, to include assessment and
mitigation of all potential risks identified in the SCIP: natural disasters, accidental
damage (human failures), intentional damage (sabotage, terrorism), cybersecurity, etc.
Following the initial update, the SCIP should be updated on an annual basis. SCIP
status information will be maintained by CISA and will be verified by FEMA GPD
through programmatic monitoring activities.
All states and territories must test their emergency communications capabilities and
procedures (as outlined in their operational communications plans) in conjunction with
regularly planned exercises (separate/addition emergency communications exercises are not
required) and must submit an After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) to the
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program’s (HSEEP) electronic message inbox at
hseep@fema.gov within 90 days of exercise completion. Exercises should be used to both
demonstrate and validate skills learned in training and to identify gaps in capabilities.
Resilience and continuity of communications should be tested during training and exercises
to the greatest extent possible. Further, exercises should include participants from multiple
jurisdictions, disciplines, and levels of government and include emergency management,
emergency medical services, law enforcement, interoperability coordinators, public health
officials, hospital officials, officials from colleges and universities, and other disciplines and
private sector entities, as appropriate. Findings from exercises should be used to update
programs to address gaps in emergency communications as well as emerging technologies,
policies, and partners. Recipients are encouraged to increase awareness and availability of
emergency communications exercise opportunities across all levels of government.
States, territories, and other eligible grant recipients are advised that HSGP funding may be
used to support communications planning (including the cost of hiring a SWIC, participation
in governance bodies and requirements delineated above), training, exercises, and equipment
costs. Costs for transitioning to the FirstNet network may also be eligible. More information
regarding FirstNet can be found in the Preparedness Grants Manual.
4. Reporting
Recipients are required to submit various financial and programmatic reports as a condition
of award acceptance. Future awards and funds drawdown may be withheld if these reports
are delinquent.
See the Preparedness Grants Manual for information on reporting requirements, as well as
the above section, “Emergency Communications Investments,” specific reporting
requirements for emergency communications investments.
5. Monitoring and Oversight
Per 2 C.F.R. § 200.337, FEMA, through its authorized representatives, has the right, at all
reasonable times, to make site visits or conduct desk reviews to review project
accomplishments and management control systems to review award progress and to provide
52

1. Termination Provisions
FEMA may terminate a federal award in whole or in part for one of the following reasons.
FEMA and the recipient must still comply with closeout requirements at 2 C.F.R. §§
200.344-200.345 even if an award is terminated in whole or in part. To the extent that
subawards are permitted under this NOFO, pass-through entities should refer to 2 C.F.R. §
200.340 for additional information on termination regarding subawards.
a. Noncompliance
If a recipient fails to comply with the terms and conditions of a federal award, FEMA may
terminate the award in whole or in part. If the noncompliance can be corrected, FEMA may
first attempt to direct the recipient to correct the noncompliance. This may take the form of a
Compliance Notification. If the noncompliance cannot be corrected or the recipient is non-
responsive, FEMA may proceed with a Remedy Notification, which could impose a remedy
for noncompliance per 2 C.F.R. § 200.339, including termination. Any action to terminate
based on noncompliance will follow the requirements of 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.341-200.342 as
well as the requirement of 2 C.F.R. § 200.340(c) to report in FAPIIS the recipient’s material
failure to comply with the award terms and conditions. See also the section on Actions to
Address Noncompliance in this NOFO or in the Preparedness Grants Manual.
b. With the Consent of the Recipient
FEMA may also terminate an award in whole or in part with the consent of the recipient, in
which case the parties must agree upon the termination conditions, including the effective
date, and in the case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated.
c. Notification by the Recipient
The recipient may terminate the award, in whole or in part, by sending written notification to
FEMA setting forth the reasons for such termination, the effective date, and in the case of
partial termination, the portion to be terminated. In the case of partial termination, FEMA
may determine that a partially terminated award will not accomplish the purpose of the
federal award, so FEMA may terminate the award in its entirety. If that occurs, FEMA will
follow the requirements of 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.341-200.342 in deciding to fully terminate the
award.
2. Period of Performance Extensions
Extensions to the period of performance (POP) for this program are allowed. Extensions to
the POP identified in the award will only be considered through formal, written requests to
the recipient’s FEMA Preparedness Officer and must contain specific and compelling
justifications as to why an extension is required. Recipients are advised to coordinate with
the FEMA Preparedness Officer as needed when preparing an extension request. Please see
the Preparedness Grants Manual for more information.

Grant Agreement

CFDA Number: 97.067
Grant Number:
This Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) grant agreement is hereby
entered into between the Michigan Department of State Police, Emergency Management and Homeland
Security Division (MSP/EMHSD) (hereinafter called the Recipient), and the
COUNTY OF MACOMB
(hereinafter called the Subrecipient)
I.Purpose
The FY 2021 HSGP supports state, local, and tribal efforts to prevent terrorism and other catastrophic
events, and prepares the Nation for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of
the United States. The FY 2021 HSGP provides funding to implement investments that enhance
terrorism preparedness and serve to build, sustain, and deliver the 32 core capabilities essential to
achieving the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient Nation.
The purpose of this grant agreement is to provide federal pass-through funds to the Region 2 Homeland
Security Planning Board (hereinafter called the regional board) through the Subrecipient, which has been
voted and approved to act as the Fiduciary Agent on behalf of and as a part of the regional board for the
FY 2021 HSGP.
The HSGP is comprised of three grant programs, two of which is covered by this grant agreement:
State Homeland Security Program (SHSP): The SHSP provides funds for state, local, and tribal
preparedness activities that address high-priority preparedness gaps across all core capabilities where a
nexus to terrorism exists. The SHSP supports implementation of the National Preparedness System
(NPS) by providing funds to address planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs to
prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism. Many capabilities which support
terrorism preparedness simultaneously support preparedness for other hazards. Subrecipients must
describe this dual-use quality for any activities implemented under this program that are not explicitly
focused on terrorism preparedness.
Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI): 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. Activities implemented with UASI funds must support terrorism
preparedness by building or enhancing capabilities that relate to the prevention of, preparedness for,
protection from, or response to acts of terrorism in order to be considered eligible. However, many

Part I: Executive Overview
Introduction
The Detroit/Southeast Michigan Urban Area Security Initiative was created in 2006 to develop,
foster, facilitate, and strengthen regional collaboration and interoperability within and between
jurisdictions in Southeast Michigan, also known as Region 2 within the State of Michigan’s plan
for Homeland Security regionalization.
Southeast Michigan remains an attractive target for terrorist organizations determined to strike
the homeland in addition to being vulnerable toa bevy of natural and man-made hazards.
The Region 2 Homeland Security Planning Board (Southeast Michigan UASI Board), made
up of representatives of the City of Detroit, all counties within the urban area, and advisory
members from all major homeland security disciplines, is charged with enhancing the region’s
collective capability to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from
large-scale disasters and catastrophic events.
Regional Profile
The Detroit/Southeast Michigan Urban Area Security Initiative (SEMI UASI) consists of the
geographic area that includes the City of Detroit and the counties of Macomb, Monroe,
Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne. SEMI UASI partners protect 5.2 million Americans
and approximately 450,000 Canadians living along the largest freshwater lake system in the
world. The area is comprised of 213 cities, villages and townships.
The area has 13 points of international entry, including five international airports, three
passenger/commercial vehicle border crossings, three rail border crossings, and two
international ferry services. A significant portion of commercial vehicle traffic entering the
United States enters through a point of entry in the Detroit Urban Area; according to U.S
Department of Transportation statistics, 41% of commercial truck traffic and 21% of
commercial rail traffic entering along the northern border passes through one of the Detroit
area points of entry, as does 22% of all commercial truck and 18% of commercial rail traffic at
all land entry points into the U.S. The St.Clair and Detroit Rivers form a major Midwest
shipping channel; approximately 70% of all commercial goods originating from ports on
Lake Superior pass through the Detroit Urban Area, including a vast majority of U.S. iron
production. As these numbers demonstrate, a major disruption caused by terrorist activity along
the U.S/Canadian border or to transportation networks in the Detroit area would have
devastating impacts on the U.S. Economy.
The region is home to over 800 sites that store extremely hazardous materials, a nuclear power
generating facility, an extensive pipeline network, and the headquarters of 13 Fortune 500
companies, any of which would make attractive targets for terrorism or other criminal
activity.

In addition, the region is prone to natural hazards such as severe weather and flooding, with
several notable events occurring each year.
The region is home to over 40 hospitals, 25 of which are designated as teaching hospitals.
Because of its proximity to the Windsor Metro Area and the Sarnia Metro Area in the Canadian
province of Ontario, these hospitals employ many Canadian healthcare professionals, making
the region’s healthcare industry heavily dependent on efficient and unobstructed international
border crossings every day.
Purpose
The purpose of this strategic plan is to provide stakeholders with a roadmap to guide and
coordinate homeland security efforts in Southeast Michigan. Each year, the SEMI UASI is
awarded fundingunder boththe State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSP) and Urban
Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Grant Program; all expenditures under thoseprograms must
support the implementation of the goals and objectives enumerated in the strategy.
Althoughthis plan is tobethe guidefor all homelandsecurity grant fundingexpenditures in the
region, stakeholders and leadership should also use this strategy as a guide for all emergency
preparedness efforts, and should also seek to support the implementation of the strategy
through the development of non-grant funded and no/low cost initiatives.
Vision
The Southeast Michigan Urban Area Security Initiative Board willprovide theleadership,
guidance, and oversight necessary to foster effective cross-jurisdictional and interdisciplinary
partnerships. These partnerships will form the framework for the development,
implementation, and sustainment of effective homeland security programs that significantly
improve the safety and security of our region’s citizens, visitors, businesses, and local
governments.
Southeast Michigan UASI Mission Statement
To support and enhance our preparedness as a region, state and nation with the
implementation of effective Homeland Security programs and strategic initiatives accomplished
by providing our emergency responder community, and ultimately our citizens, with the
resources and training needed for a safer and more secure community.
To provide responsible leadership, planning and direction in the execution of our grant
supported projects through effective management and astute fiscal responsibility at all levels
and at all times.

Scope
SEMI UASI leadership wholeheartedly support the National Preparedness Goal, “A secure and
resilientnation with thecapabilities required across thewholecommunity to prevent, protect
against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest
risk.”
Accordingly, the SEMI UASI Board recognizes that catastrophic events and mass-casualty
incidents often require responses that are beyond the capability of a jurisdiction, the region, or
eventhe State. Consistent with theprinciples of the National Incident Management System
(NIMS) and theNationalPreparednessGoal, theSEMI UASI Board’sprimaryobjective is to
assess regional risks, current and required capabilities, and to identify gaps in preparedness so
that a region-wide collaborative effort can be implemented to address and overcome
capability-based shortfalls. This objective is primarily achieved through the Threat and Hazard
Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process and through use of the five national
planning frameworks.
Since the SEMI UASI region was formed, regional partners have developed a strong culture of
working together, with strong partnerships, established agreements for collaboration, and a
history of using the Incident Command System (ICS). The homeland security community is
progressive, maintains a high level of situational awareness regarding its strengths and is fully
aware of those areas where improvement is necessary.
Priorities
The five over-arching priorities of emergency preparedness in Southeast Michigan and of this
strategy are the five mission areas identified in the National Preparedness Goal:
□ Prevention: Prevent, avoid, or stop an imminent, threatened, or actual act of terrorism.
□ Protection: Protect our citizens, residents, visitors, and assets against the greatest
threats and hazards our region faces in a manner that allows our interests, aspirations,
and way of life to thrive.
□ Mitigation: Reducethe loss of life andproperty by lesseningtheimpact of future
disasters.
□ Response: Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and
meet basic human needs in the aftermath of an act of terrorism or other catastrophic
incidents.
□ Recovery: Recover through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening and
revitalization of infrastructure, housing and asustainableeconomy, as well as the
health, social, cultural, historic and environmental fabric of communities affected by
acts of terrorism or other catastrophic incidents.

Implementation
The SEMI UASI Board and its committees and workgroups serve as a coordination mechanism
for preparedness programs implemented by stakeholders throughout Southeast Michigan. The
implementation of the Goals and Objectives of this strategy are the shared responsibility of the
Board, its committees and workgroups, and each UASI jurisdictional partner.
Each partner and its representatives have a responsibility to the region to ensure that the Goals
and objectives presented in this strategy are implemented in a coordinated, cost-effective
manner with effective distribution of resources and minimal duplication of effort.

Part II: Strategic Planning Process
The Detroit/Southeast Michigan UASI maintains a comprehensive strategic planning process
designed toassessneedsrelatedto all-hazards homeland security preparedness across the five
mission areas identified in the National Preparedness Goal. The SEMI UASI focuses on multi-
jurisdictional collaboration, has emphasized coordination with the private sector, and has
included participation fromthe State Administrative Agency to ensure consistency with the
Michigan Statewide Homeland Security Strategy. The region promotes and is fully cognizant of
the importance of integrated regional planning, coordination, and response. This spotlight on a
regional approach to preparedness results in the allocation of available public funds to address
high priority needs and proposed projects that will provide the greatest regional benefit.
Since the initial adoption of the strategy in 2008, the UASI has used a structured process to
guide the development and evolution of the strategy. The process used to develop this iteration
of the homeland security strategy is as follows:
1) Establish a Regional Planning Task Force: The UASI Strategic Planning Committee (SPC)
was established by Board action on January 16, 2008 and delivered the first SEMI UASI
Strategyfor Fiscal Year 2009. The SPC was tasked annually with reviewing the strategy
and providingrecommendationsforimprovement. On May 15, 2013 the UASI Board
appointedthe UASI RegionalPlanningteam to overseetheextension oftheeffective
period through FY 2016.
On February 17, 2016, the UASI Board appointed a UASI Strategic Planning Workgroup
consisting of all advisory members of the UASI Board, the chair (or designee) of each
standing committee or workgroup, the regional planners, and one additional
representative from each primary UASI partner. The workgroup was tasked with
developing a new, three-year homeland security strategy by March 31, 2017.
On February 20, 2019, the UASI Board voted to approve the extension of the existing
SEMI UASI Strategy through October 1, 2020. The Strategy Planning Workgroup then
met on March 5, 2019, June 4, 2019, and November 15, 2019 to complete updates to
the SEMI UASI Strategy FY 2020- FY2022.
For acompletelist of allpersonnelinvolved inthedevelopment of theoriginal FY 2009
strategy, the FY 2014 update, the FY 2017 update, and the new FY 20 Strategy, see
Appendix 7.
2) Complete the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA): In 2012
the UASI completed its first THIRA, designed by FEMA to identify the Core Capabilities
the region need to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from
incidents of major significance. The THIRA process allows communities to better
understand their risks and determine the capability level required to adequately address

those risks. In 2019, FEMA established the requirement for a complete update to the
THIRA every three (3) years.
The UASI completed a full revision of the THIRA in 2015 and 2019, and minor updates in
2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
The THIRA contains several of the critical elements necessary to the completion of the
Strategic Plan:
a) Regional Hazard Analysis: For any regional homeland security strategy to be
relevant, it must present a frameworkfor the reduction or elimination of the threats
and hazards the region is most likely to face.
As part of the THIRA process, the region conducted a hazard analysis in 2012 and
revised it in 2015 and 2018. The analysis consisted of each primary partner (Detroit,
Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Wayne, and Washtenaw) submitting the
hazard ranking fromtheir approved hazard mitigation plan. The data from those
hazard rankings was combined to create a regional hazard ranking.
The top 10 hazards faced by the Detroit Urban Area, in order, are: severe wind,
snowstorm/blizzard, tornadoes, hail, thunderstorms, ice and/or sleet storms,
infrastructurefailure(water system), infrastructure failure(electric system),
infrastructure failure (storm water system), and flooding (riverine).
For the most recent full regional hazard ranking, see Appendix 1.
b) Planning Scenarios/Context Descriptions: As part of the developmentof the 2019
THIRA, the SEMI UASI developed six planning scenarios to provide context
descriptions to the top hazards the region faces: tornado/flash flooding, winter
storm, hazmat transportation accident; terrorist attack causing infrastructure
failure; pandemic influenza; fire; and a complex-coordinated terrorist attack. These
planning scenarios serve as the basis for the development of THIRA capability targets
and by extension of the UASI strategy objectives.
For the most recent THIRA report see Appendix 2
c) Capability Targets: The final part of the THIRA process involves developing capability
targets for each core capability. These targets capture the level of capability that the
SEMI UASI region realistically seeks to build to in the coming grant period.
For the most recent THIRA report see Appendix 2.

3) Prepare a Stakeholder Preparedness Report (SPR): In 2019, the SEMI UASI completed a
StakeholderPreparednessReport(SPR)forthefirsttime.The SPR is a processthat
allows communities to estimatetheir current level of preparedness, identify areas in
which they should be more prepared, and outline approaches for preparedness
improvements. The SPR is required to be updated annually and involves the following
steps:
For full SPR data for SEMI UASI 2019, see Appendix 4.
4) Prioritize Core Capabilities: A quantifiable process to prioritize Core Capabilitiesis
essential to identifying the most critical areas to which to direct finite preparedness
resources and develop appropriate strategic objectives. The rating method for
prioritizing core capabilities was developed by assessing the number of planning
scenarios that impact the core capability, life safety concerns, and the number of
mission areas the core capabilities relates to.
For the full prioritization of core capabilities for the Detroit Urban Area, see Appendix 5.
5) Develop Goals and Objectives: The basis for the strategic plan are its goals and
objectives. After collecting the available data from the THIRA, SPR, and prioritized core
capabilities, the Strategic Planning Workgroup developed goals andobjectives that
reflect the greatest needs of the region. This strategy contains five goals, based upon
the UASI’s standinginvestmentsubmissions, and nineteen objectives, each based on the
capability target for a core capability identified as a regional priority.
This process ensures that the strategy objectives are based on our regional priorities,
and also ensures completealignmentbetweenthe THIRA, Regional Homeland Security
Strategy, and annual UASI grant program Investments.
For the strategy goals and objectives, see Part III.
6) Set Evaluation Criteria: The SPR provides a solid methodology upon which to evaluate
the implementation of the strategy on an annual basis. The SEMI UASI will complete the
SPR annually, and track progress toward improving capability scores for all core
capabilities. Changes in SPR capability scores will demonstrate reduction in gaps
attributable to projects and programs developed in support of this strategy.
For further details, see Part IV.
7) Review and Analysis: The SEMI UASI will review and update this strategy at leastevery
three (3) years, or as deemed necessary by the SEMI UASI Board to ensure that it

As part of the 2018 THIRA development process, each jurisdiction was asked to rank the various
hazards that it faces. This assessment shows the wide range of hazards facedin the SEMI UASI
Region, and was used to assist with the selection of the six planning scenarios. A score of (1)
indicates the highest risk. Blank cells indicate that the jurisdiction did not list that potential
hazard as being of any significance or consequence in their community.
For each jurisdiction, hazards were assigned a score of 50 points for being the highest ranked,
down to 0 points foreachhazard that was not selected. The score presented is theweighted
average of the scores for each hazards, based on the state’s risk allocation formula.

THIRA Executive Summary
THIRA Process
Communities use the THIRA to assess risk and set capability targets that reflect their
preparedness goals, answering three key questions:
• What threats and hazards can affect our community?
• If they occurred, what impacts would those threats and hazards have on
our community?
• Based on those impacts, what capabilities should our community have?
The THIRA/SPR goes beyond evaluating risk, as it also identifies what communities need to do
to address that risk.
By completing the THIRA process, communities can better understand what they need to
prepare for and how to translate that information into action. Communities begin by identifying
the threats and hazards that would most challenge their capabilities. They then provide context
for those threats and hazards, developing scenarios that describe how they may affect the
community. The scenarios include factors and conditions that would make those threats and
hazards especially challenging for delivering capabilities. This helps communities better
understand what they need to be prepared for.
Communities then set capability targets that are specific, measurable, actionable, relevant to
potential threat and hazard impacts, and time-bound. Setting preparedness goals for addressing
the impacts of their most challenging threats and hazards every three years helps communities
to track progress over time and describe their preparedness in specific, measurable terms.

Description
An external entity plants malicious code into the computer system
that controls power distribution for Southeast Michigan. Smart
meters on businesses and residences begin reporting unusually high
demand for power. At approximately 4 pm on a weekday afternoon in
August, circuit breakers on multiple high-voltage transmission lines
open due to an unusually high current causing lines to sag and come
into contact with trees. A short circuit causes a cascade of
transmission lines drop off the system, which in turn causes major
power plants to go off-line. The entire Southeast Michigan region is
affected. Utility companies work diligently toeliminate the malicious
code from the system and repair damaged systems, but full power is
not restored to customers for five days.

Description
Twelve motivated terrorists attack during the North American Auto
Show. The terrorists divide into three teams attacking three separate
locations simultaneously.
The attack is executed on Saturday which is a peak time. Offenders
enter into their target locations and blend in as if they are patrons. At
predetermined times each team initiates their attack without further
direction. Each team will activate five minutes after the other,
believing the preceding event will draw response resources.
Team #1 (Cobo Arena): Three members of the group armed with high
capacity handguns strike the Auto Show. One perpetrator skirts
security and enters the event. The two other offenders remain
outside, mingling with people as they arrive. At the directed time all
three offenders draw their weapons and start firing into the crowd.
The offenders on the exterior are able to discharge numerous
magazines into the crowd before they are neutralized by police. The
offender inside the show is able to discharge numerous magazines
into the crowd and during the panic and chaos he is able to disappear
inside Cobo Arena.
Team #2 (The Whitney): Three members of the group armed with
high capacity handguns strike The Whitney. Before arriving at the
restaurant the perpetrators place ten large gas containers in the
trunk of their car. The perpetrators park directly next to The
Whitney. All three enter the restaurant and sit together. At the
directed time (approximately 5 minutes after the first event) one
member exits the restaurant and ignites their vehicle causing a
significant fire that spreads to other vehicles. At

dining area. They draw their weapons and begin firing. The third
offender (started the vehicle fire) is on the outside of the restaurant
shooting people that flee the attack on the inside.
After the initial shooting, the offenders position themselves around
the building to shoot responding police and fire personnel. The fire is
continuing to burn - encroaching on the building.
Team #3 (Marriott at the Renaissance Center – GM): This group
which consists of six members, attack the Marriott at the Renaissance
Center. These men are armed with long guns. Their plan is to wreak
havoc and then barricade themselves with hostages to prompt a
public confrontation with law enforcement. As they enter the
Renaissance Center they immediately separate into (3) two man
squads. Squad #1 immediately goes to the 20th floor and secures
approximately 75 people in a conference room. The terrorists
encourage the hostages to call police. The other squads (2 & 3) have
the mission of shooting as many people as possible above the 20th
floor. Once the shooting has stopped, all six members reunite on the
20th floor where they fortify their position preparing to fight law
enforcement.

SPR Executive Summary
SPR Process
Communities use the THIRA (Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment) to
assess their risk and set capability targets that reflect their preparedness goals.
Communities then use the SPR to answer the following questions:
• What are our current capabilities?
• What gaps exist between our targets and the capabilities we currently have?
• How can we address our capability gaps and sustain our current capabilities?
The SPR is an outcome-oriented assessment that helps communities intuitively compare
their current capabilities with their targets, identify gaps, and prioritize investments and other
preparedness activities to address those gaps. Communities quantify the gap between their
current capabilities and their targets, and then indicate whether that gap is related to any of
the five following areas: Planning, Organization, Equipment, Training, and Exercises
(POETE).
Communities also indicate whether achieving (or sustaining, if applicable) each of their
capability targets is a high, medium, or low priority. This produces actionable information,
providing clear direction on where communities need to focus their efforts and resources
to have the biggest impact on achieving their specific preparedness goals and
addressing the impacts of their most challenging threats and hazards.
Communities also rate their degree of confidence in their estimates of their current
capabilities using a five-point scale, with a five indicating higher confidence. This provides
valuable context for better understanding that data.
Communities can use the THIRA/SPR results to support a variety of preparedness
activities, including planning, training, and exercises. The THIRA/SPR also makes it easier
for communities to direct resources where they will be most effective, be more deliberate in
their planning efforts, and better understand their capabilities and gaps in general.
Data Disclaimer
Any numbers included in this Executive Summary are estimates and may not reflect a
community’s actual current capability. The reader should consider the data included below to
be the community’s best estimate, based on available information, of its preparedness at the
time of the assessment. The reader should use this information primarily as a starting point for a more in-depth discussion about the community’s current capability and gaps.

SPR Capability Assessment Legend
Percentage of Target Achieved
This figure indicates how much capability the community currently has compared to their
capability target. Percentages are shaded according to the range below.
Priority Rating
This rating reflects how important it is for the community to achieve the capability target, or to
sustain current capability if the community has already met the target. The rating is a selection
between high, medium, and low priority.
Confidence Rating
This rating reflects how confident the community is in the accuracy of their reported current
capability. The rating ranges from 1 to 5, where a 1 indicates a lower confidence in the estimate
and a 5 indicates a higher confidence.

Each primary UASI partner was asked to identify its top ten priorities for the next three years.
Those core capabilities ranked (1) were assigned a score of (10), those ranked (2) a (9), and so
on. The total score for a core capability is the weighted average of all individual scores assigned
to that core capability, with the weighting being each partner’s relative risk as identified in the
state funding formula for UASI and SHSP grants.

Appendix 5
Review and Update Process
TheMichiganStatePolice,EmergencyManagementandHomelandSecurityDivisionhasissued
guidance to ensure that adequate opportunities exist to update homeland security strategies
while simultaneously achieving a uniform approach for processing change requests state-wide.
Revisions totheSEMI UASI HomelandSecurityStrategywill be requestedbased upon that
guidance.
a. Strategy Modifications. This process provides two “recurring” windows of opportunity for
the SEMI UASI Board to recommend strategy updates or modifications to the State
Administrative Agency (SAA).
The windows for recurring updates are defined in sub-paragraphs 1 and 2 below.
1) Mid-Term Window
□ Timeframe: June 1-30 each year
□ Reason: Submissions of recommended changes during this window will provide for
less extensive changes during the “Annual Window” cited below. Modifications to
theseportions of thestrategiesmay be forerunners tothefollow-on modifications
of goals and objectives to be submitted during the Annual Window in November.
□ Process: A memorandum along with the required information must be submitted to
the SAA for consideration. All requests must include the Request for Strategy
Modification form clearly defining the requested change, to include specific
rationale.
□ Changes: The Mid-Term window allows for changes to Parts I, II, III, and V of the
SEMI UASI Strategy. Additionally, changestothe appendices may be submitted
during this window, including information related to updated capabilities
assessments and planning scenarios.
2) Annual Window
□ Timeframe: November 1-30 each year
□ Reason: Proposedchanges will be reviewed, coordinated, and potentially approved
by the SAA by the end of December. This will provide sufficient timeforcompleting
Investment submissions typically due to DHS in the spring.

□ Process: A memorandum along with the required information must be submitted to
the SAA for consideration. All requests must include the Request for Strategy
Modification form clearly defining the requested change, to include specific
rationale.
□ Changes: The Annual Window is the only time frame where changes to the Goals,
Objectives, and Implementation Steps will be accepted by the SAA.
b. Standardization. To ensure a standardized approach to strategic planning, it is important
that the SEMI UASI Strategy conform to the following provisions:
1) Strategy Duration. The SEMI UASI Strategy addresses a three-year period, Fiscal Year
2021 – Fiscal Year 2023 (October 1, 2020 – September 30, 2023).
2) Use of Fiscal Years. All homeland security strategies in the Stateof Michigan are based
upon federal fiscal years (October 1 – September 30) in order to align with the FEMA
preparedness grant cycle.
