Equipment Information
MMRS Equipment. MMRS grant funds are intended to ensure an appropriate supply of
pharmaceuticals and equipment, personal protective equipment, as well as detection
equipment for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive incidents for the
first crucial hours of a response to a mass casualty incident.
Procurements should have a sound threat based justification with an aim to reduce the
consequences of mass casualty incidents during the first crucial hours of a response.
Prior to procuring pharmaceuticals and equipment with MMRS grant funds, grantees
must have in place an inventory management plan. The inventory management plan
should avoid large periodic variations in supplies due to coinciding purchase and
expiration dates. MMRS grantees are strongly encouraged to enter into rotational
procurement agreements with vendors and distributors.
MMRS grant funds cannot be used to duplicate supplies already available through local
and State sources, including local/regional public health offices and hospital
associations, or other Federal programs.
Purchases of pharmaceuticals have to include a budget for the disposal of expired
drugs within the period of performance of the FY 2011 HSGP. The cost of disposal
cannot be carried over to another FEMA grant or grant period.
M.
CCP Equipment. States and Urban Areas are encouraged to fully leverage all HSGP
resources for equipment to support volunteer personnel in preparedness and response.
Any equipment purchased with CCP funding must be used for specific preparedness or
volunteer training or by volunteers in carrying out their response functions. Examples of
equipment used to support training and exercises for citizens include items such as
burn pans or sample preparedness kits.
Expenditures for kits used in volunteer response (e.g., CERT or MRC kits / backpacks)
or clothing for official identification must not exceed 30 percent (30%) of the total Citizen
Corps Program allocation. Clothing for official identification includes those items that
volunteers are required to wear when engaging in public safety activities or disaster
response (e.g., t-shirts for CERT members, baseball caps for Neighborhood
Watch/USAonWatch Program foot patrol members). To assure appropriate and
consistent use, such clothing items must be issued by the agency that trains the
volunteers.
CCP supported volunteer programs and assets, which are authorized to deploy in
response and recovery operations, must meet the minimum training and equipment
requirements, as determined by the national program office in coordination with the
sponsoring State/territory.
Necessary accommodations that meet the disability related access and functional
needs of participants should be provided.
Training Information and Requirements
Training Information Reporting system rWeb-Forms'). Web -Forms is an electronic
form/data management system built to assist the SAA and its designated State/territory
Training Point of Contact (TPOC) with the reporting of State and Federal sponsored
training supported by HSGP funds. Web -Forms can be accessed through the FEMA
Toolkit located at htta://www.firstresoondertrainino oov/admin.
• Types of Training. FEMA resources include a number of different training
sources:
- FEMA Provided Training. These programs or courses are developed for
and delivered by institutions and organizations funded by FEMA. This
includes the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP), the Emergency
Management Institute (EMI) and the National Training and Education
Division (NTED) training partner programs funded through congressional
Appropriations and the Competitive and Continuing Training Grant
programs. Programs funded through appropriation include but are not
limited to the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) and
the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium (RDPC).
Training Not Provided by FEMA. These courses are either State
sponsored or Federal sponsored, coordinated and approved by the SAA
or their designated TPOC, and fall within the FEMA mission scope to
70
prepare State, local, Tribal, and territorial personnel to prevent, protect
against, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism or catastrophic
events.
- State Sponsored Courses. These courses are developed for and/or
delivered by institutions or organizations other than Federal entities or
FEMA and are sponsored by the SAA or their designated TPOC.
- Approved State Sponsored Course Catalog. This catalog lists
State/territory sponsored courses that fall within the FEMA mission scope
and have been approved through the FEMA course review and approval
process. An updated version of this catalog can be accessed at
http://Www.firstrespondertraining.gov.
- Federal Sponsored Courses. This catalog lists courses developed for
and/or delivered by institutions funded by Federal entities other than
FEMA.
- Approved Federal Sponsored Course Catalog. This catalog lists Federal -
sponsored courses that fall within the FEMA mission scope, and have
been approved through the FEMA course review and approval process.
An updated version of this catalog can be accessed at
htip://www. firstrespondertrainina. cLo v.
- Additionally the new National Preparedness. Directorate (NPD) Online
Course Catalog (OCC) allows access to courses delivered by the CDP,
EMI, and NTED. It can be accessed at http:lltrainina.fema.aov/occ%
- Joint Training and Exercises with the Public and Private Sectors. These
courses are sponsored and coordinated by private sector entities to
enhance public -private partnerships for training personnel to prevent,
protect against, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism or
catastrophic events.
- FEMA Provided Training. FEMA funds the direct delivery of a variety of
courses that States, Tribes, and territories can request to meet training
needs. These courses are listed in the NTED approved course catalog
listed at htto://www.firstrespondertrainino.00v.
Each FEMA training partner should contact the SAA or designated TPOC for locations
within the State that are appropriate for the training. When the direct delivery funds are
exhausted, the training partner can continue to offer the classes to the States through
one of two methods —the Voluntary Training Enhancement Program (VTEP) or the
Excess Delivery Acquisition Program (EDAP).
VTEP is a voluntary program designed to increase flexibility for States and territories
while enhancing NTE's training delivery capability and complementing the current
training partner pool. Funding from previous fiscal years may be used to support a
State, territory, or Urban Area's implementation of this program. Through VTEP, the
SAA has the authority to adopt various NTED provided programs for delivery by
institutions within its State and local jurisdictions, and designate institutions as
recognized providers for the identified standardized curriculum.

EDAP allows NTED training partner to charge for a.course delivery when the Federal
grant that developed the program is completed or more deliveries of a requested class
are needed than the grant funds can accommodate. This cost per class is approved by
FEMA so that States pay for the cost of instruction only, not the curriculum development
costs that were paid by FEMA training grant funds. HSGP funds can be used to pay for
the delivery of these classes within a State at the request of the SAA/TPOC.
Attending Training Not Provided by FEMA (State or Federal Sponsored Courses).
States, territories, and Urban Areas are not required to request approval from FEMA for
personnel to attend training not provided by FEMA (State or Federal -sponsored
courses) provided that the training is coordinated with and approved by the SAA or
TPOC and falls within the FEMA mission scope and the jurisdiction's EOP and strategy
of preparing State, local, Tribal, and territorial personnel or citizens to prevent, protect
against, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism or catastrophic events.
States, territories, and Urban Areas are required, within 30 days after attendance, to
submit information through the SAA or TPOC via Web -Forms on all training not
provided by FEMA, but supported with HSGP funds. This information will consist of
course title, course description, mission area, level of training, the training provider, the
date of the course, the number and associated disciplines of the individuals, and the
sponsoring jurisdiction. States, territories; and Urban Areas intending to use FEMA
funds to support attendance at training not provided by FEMA must ensure these
courses:
• Fall within the FEMA mission scope to prepare State, local, Tribal, and territorial
personnel to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from acts of
terrorism and catastrophic events
• Build additional capabilities that: (a) support a specific training need identified by
the State, territory, and Urban Area, and (b) comport with the State, territory, or
Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy
• Address specific tasks and/or competencies articulated in FEMA's Emergency
Responder Guidelines and the Homeland Security Guidelines for Prevention and
Deterrence
• Address specific capabilities and related tasks articulated in the September2007
version of the TCL
• Support the specific program training activities identified in the individual HSGP
grant programs (SHSP, UASI, OPSG, MMRS, CCP) for which the funding will be
used
In support of the continuing efforts to build common catalogs of approved training not
provided by FEMA, the SAA/TPOC will be allowed three deliveries of the same course
Within a State/territory before the course is required to go through the NTED State
course review and approval process. Additional course deliveries will be authorized
during the review period. However, if the course is disapproved as part of the process,
no additional FEMA funds can be dedicated to attending the course.
72
State and Federal -Sponsored Course Catalogs. Courses approved through NTED will
be added to either the approved State Sponsored Course Catalog or the Federal
Sponsored Course Catalog. Courses identified within these catalogs may be attended
on an unlimited basis within any State/territory as long as the training is coordinated and
approved by the SAA/TPOC. A full description of the NTED Course Development,
Review, and Approval Process, as well as the approved course catalogs, can be found
at http://www.firstrespondertrainina oov/odp webforms. NTED will respond to the initial
request for review within 15 days with one of the following outcomes:
Course concept is approved as consistent with the State plan and the State
should submit the full course package for. subject matter expert review and
comment.
Course concept is disapproved as inconsistent with State plan, FEMA guidance,
or is exactly the same as another course in the catalog (no need for another
approval, refer to the curriculum already developed and approved).
At any time, the SAA/TPOC (for State -sponsored courses) or the Federal Agency POC
(for Federal sponsored courses) may request the addition of a course to the
corresponding approved catalog by submitting the associated Web -Form (i.e., Request
for Addition to the Approved State -Sponsored Catalog) for review. -If -a class on the
same subject is already in the catalog, the submitting State should provide
documentation as to why the course is unique, after contacting the owner(s) of the other
courses to review the curriculum. This step is required to avoid unnecessary duplication
of similar courses in the catalog, allow States to share course development costs,
permit all States to have access to new or unique courses developed by other
providers, and allow States to direct their training dollars to delivery rather than
development. If it is determined that the proposed course meets the above listed
criteria, the providing entity (SAA/TPOC or Federal Agency POC) will be invited to
submit the Course Review and Approval Request Form along with all supporting
training materials.
For further information on developing courses using the instructional design
methodology and tools that can facilitate the process, SAAs and TPOCs are
encouraged to review the NTED Strategy for Blended Learning and access the
Responder Training Development Center (RTDC) available at
ham://www.firstrespondertrainina aov/rtdc/state%
FEMA funds must be used to supplement, not supplant, existing funds that have been
appropriated for the same purpose. FEMA will conduct periodic reviews of all State,
territory, and Urban Area training funded by FEMA. These reviews may include
requests for all course materials and physical observation of., or participation in, the
funded training. If these reviews determine that courses are outside the scope of this
guidance, grantees will be asked to repay grant funds expended in support of those
efforts.
73
States and territories are required to conduct an Improvement Plan Workshop and
Training and Exercise Plan Workshop to identify best practices, capability gaps, key
priorities, and major events over a multi -year time frame and to align training and
exercises in support of those priorities. A Multi -year Training and Exercise Plan will be
produced from the Training and Exercise Plan Workshop to include the State's training
and exercise priorities, associated training and exercise capabilities, and a multi -year
training and exercise schedule. Further guidance concerning the Multi -year Training
and Exercise Plan can be found in the Exercises discussion immediately following.
Joint Training and Exercises with the Public and Private Sectors. Trainings and
exercises designed to enhance private sector and public sector coordination are
allowable. Overtime pay for first responders and emergency managers who participate
in public -private training and exercises is allowable. In addition, States, territories,
Tribes, and local units of government are encouraged to incorporate the private sector
in government -sponsored training and exercises.
CCP Training. Training funded through the CCP includes but is not limited to: all -
hazards safety such as emergency preparedness, basic first aid, life saving skills, crime
prevention and terrorism awareness, school preparedness, public health issues,
mitigation/property damage prevention, safety in the home, light search and rescue
skills, principles of NIMS/ICS, community relations, volunteer management, serving and
integrating people with disabilities, pet care preparedness, any training necessary to
participate in volunteer activities, any training necessary to fulfill surge capacity roles, or
other training that promotes individual, family, or community safety and preparedness.
There is no cap on the number of deliveries State or local jurisdictions may conduct of
non -responder community -based training workshops, seminars, demonstrations, or
conferences. Examples include: CPR/AED training, identity theft workshops, terrorism
awareness seminars, chain -saw safety demonstrations, and disability -inclusive
community preparedness conferences.
Funding for CERT training includes the delivery of the CERT Basic Training Course,
supplemental training for CERT members who have completed the basic training, the
CERT Train -the -Trainer Course, and the CERT Program Manager Course. Any CERT
Basic training conducted by State or local entities must: 1) include the topics covered in
the FEMA CERT Basic Training Course; 2) be instructor -led; and 3) classroom -based,
using lecture, demonstration, and hands-on practice throughout. Note that the
Independent Study course, "Introduction to CERT" (IS 317) must not be substituted for
classroom delivery of CERT Basic Training.
Supplemental training for CERT members who have completed the basic training
includes modules available on the national CERT website, as well as other
supplemental training that meets the following criteria:
• Relates to a reasonably foreseeable activity which CERT members might be
tasked to perform in support of emergency services responders; or,
• Increases competency and understanding of the emergency management
context in which CERT members may be asked to operate; or
74
• Enhances understanding of a particular local hazard CERT members might
encounter in their response activities.
There is no cap on the number of deliveries State or local jurisdictions may conduct of
the CERT Basic Training, the CERT Train -the -Trainer, Campus CERT Train -the -
Trainer, Teen CERT Train -the -Trainer, or CERT Program Manager courses, or
supplemental/advanced training for CERT program participants.
Any training supported with these CCP funds should be delivered with specific
consideration to include all ages, ethnic and cultural groups, persons with disabilities,
and access and functional needs populations at venues throughout the community, to
include schools, neighborhoods, places of worship, the private sector, non-
governmental organizations, and government locations. Expenditures to provide
necessary non-structural accommodations for persons with disabilities and other access
and functional needs is allowable (e.g., sign language interpreters, CART and other
modifications of policies and practices to fully include participants with disabilities).
Jurisdictions are also encouraged to leverage existing training provided via
educational/professional facilities and to incorporate non-traditional methodologies such
as the internet, distance learning, or home study whenever such delivery supports
training objectives. Pilot courses and innovative approaches to training citizens and
instructors are encouraged.
Instruction for trainers and training to support the Citizen Corps Council members in
their efforts to manage and coordinate the Citizen Corps mission is also an allowable
use of the FY 2011 CCP funding.

personnel expenses, which must not exceed 15 percent (15%) of the total
allocation as specified in section E.6. In no case is dual compensation allowable
(see above).
Certification/Recertification of Instructors. States are encouraged to follow the
NTE Instructor Quality Assurance Program to ensure a minimum level of
competency and corresponding levels of evaluation of student learning. This is
particularly important for those courses that involve training of trainers. This
information is contained in IB 193, issued October 20, 2005. Additional
information can be obtained at
http://www.fema.gov/pood quidance/download/10146.
Exercise Requirements
Training and Exercise Plan Workshop. States and Urban Areas are required to
conduct an annual Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (TEPW). A Multi -year
Training and Exercise Plan must be developed from the workshops on an annual
basis and submitted to the State's respective Exercise Program point of contact.
The State Exercise Program point of contact should submit a copy of the plan to
hseep aC )dhs.Qov.
The Training and Exercise Plan will include the State's prioritized capability
requirements and a Multi -Year Training and Exercise Plan (schedule) that
supports the identified capabilities. In addition to submission of the Multi -Year
Training and Exercise Plan to hseep@dhs.gov, all scheduled training and
exercises should be entered in the HSEEP National Exercise Scheduling (NEXS)
System, located in the HSEEP Tooikit on the HSEEP website
https.11hseep.dhs.gov. A TEPW user guides and a template of the Multi -Year
Training and Exercise Plan can be found on the HSEEP website
https://hseep: dhs. gov.
States must complete a cycle of exercise activity during the period of this grant.
States and Urban Areas are encouraged to use exercises as an opportunity to
meet the requirements of multiple exercise programs. To this end, grantees are
encouraged to invite representatives/planners involved with other federally -
mandated or private exercise activities. States and Urban Areas are encouraged
to share, at a minimum, the multi -year training and exercise schedule with those
departments, agencies, and organizations included in the plan.
• Exercise Scenarios. The scenarios used in HSGP-funded exercises must be
based on the State/Urban Area's Homeland Security Strategy and plans.
Acceptable scenarios for SHSP, UASI, MMRS, and CCP exercises include:
76
chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive, cyber, agricultural and
natural or technological disasters. Exercise scenarios must be catastrophic in
scope and size as defined by the National Response Framework.
The scenarios used in HSGP-funded exercises must focus on validating existing
capabilities, must be large enough in scope and size to exercise multiple
activities and warrant involvement from multiple jurisdictions and disciplines and
non -governmental organizations, and take into account the needs and
requirements for individuals with disabilities. Exercise scenarios should align
with objectives and capabilities identified in the Multi -year Training and Exercise
Plan.
Special Event Planning. If a State or Urban Area will be hosting a special event
(e.g., Super Bowl, G-8 Summit), the special event planning should be considered
as a training or exercise activities for the purpose of the Multi -Year Training and
Exercise Plan.. The State or Urban Area should plan to use SHSP or UASI
funding to finance training and exercise activities in preparation for those events.
States and Urban Areas should also consider exercises at major venues (e.g.,
arenas, convention centers) that focus on evacuations, communications, and
command and control. States should also anticipate participating in at least one
Regional Exercise annually. States must include all confirmed or planned special
events in the Multi -year Training and Exercise Plan.
Exercise Evaluation and Improvement. Exercises should evaluate performance
of the objectives and capabilities required to respond to the exercise scenario.
Guidance related to exercise evaluation and improvement planning is defined in
the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program located at
h ttps://hseep. dhs. aov.
• Self -Sustaining Exercise Programs. States are expected to develop a self-
sustaining exercise program. A self-sustaining exercise program is one that is
successfully able to implement, maintain, and oversee the Multi -year Training
and Exercise Plan, including the development and delivery of HSGP-funded
exercises. The program must utilize a multi -disciplinary approach to the
development and delivery of exercises, and build upon existing plans, training,
and equipment.
Role of Non -Governmental Entities in Exercises. Non -governmental
participation in all levels of exercises is strongly encouraged. Leaders from non-
governmental entities should be included in the planning, conduct, and
evaluation of an exercise. State, local, Tribal, and territorial jurisdictions are
encouraged to develop exercises that test the integration and use of non-
governmental resources provided by non -governmental entities, defined as the
private sector and private non-profit, faith -based, community, disability, volunteer,
and other non -governmental organizations. Non -governmental participation in
exercises should be coordinated with the local Citizen Corps Council(s) and other
77
partner agencies. The scenarios used in HSGP-funded exercises must focus on
validating existing capabilities, must comply with and be large enough in scope
and size to exercise multiple activities and warrant involvement from multiple
jurisdictions and disciplines and non -governmental organizations, and take into
account the needs and requirements for individuals with disabilities.
MMRS Exercises. The scenarios used in MMRS exercises should focus on incidents
that would be catastrophic to the grant implementer's community and/or have national
impact caused by any hazard. Grantees are encouraged to use scenarios with a focus
on medical issues related to preparedness and response. Scenarios should test
appropriate Target Capabilities that support the MMRS mission.
Citizen participation in exercises is strongly encouraged and should be coordinated with
the local Medical Reserve Corps and Citizen Corps Council Volunteer roles and
responsibilities include, but are not limited to, backfilling non-professional tasks for first
responders deployed on exercise planning and implementation, providing simulated
victims, media, and members of the public, supporting surge capacity functions, and
participating in the after -action review.
MMRS jurisdictions, in coordination with regional, Urban Area, and State exercises, and
public health officials (e.g., EMS), are expected to schedule, design, conduct, and
evaluate mass casualty exercises that are in compliance with both FEMA and CDC
Public Health Emergency Preparedness Cooperative Agreement Exercise requirements
and guidance.
CCP Exercises. Exercises specifically designed for or that include participation from
non -governmental entities and the general public are allowable activities and may
include testing public warning systems, evacuation/shelter in -place capabilities,
family/school/business preparedness, and participating in table -top or full scale
emergency responder exercises at the local, State, Tribal, territorial, or national level, to
include the National Level Exercises (formally known as Top Officials Exercise
[TOPOFFj).
Allowable Exercise Costs
Allowable exercise -related costs include:
Funds Used to Design, Develop, Conduct, and Evaluate an Exercise. Includes
costs related to planning, meeting space and other meeting costs, facilitation
costs, materials and supplies, travel, and documentation. Grantees are

whenever possible.
Hiring of Full or Part -Time Staff or Contractors/Consultants. Full or part-time staff
may be hired to support exercise -related activities. Such costs must be included
within the funding allowed for program management personnel expenses; which
must not exceed 15 percent (15%) of the total allocation. The applicant's formal
written procurement policy or the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) —
0
whichever is more stringent — must be followed. In no case is dual compensation
allowable.
• Overtime and Backfill. The entire amount of overtime costs, including payments
related to backfilling personnel, which are the direct result of time spent on the
design, development, and conduct of exercises are allowable expenses. These
costs are allowed only to the extent the payment for such services is in
accordance with the policies of the State or unit(s) of local government and has
the approval of the State or the awarding agency, whichever is applicable. In no
case is dual compensation allowable. That is, an employee of a unit of
government may not receive compensation from their unit or agency of
government AND from an award for a single period of time (e.g., 1:00 p.m. to
5:00 p.m.), even though such work may benefit both activities.
• Travel. Travel costs are allowable as expenses by employees who are on travel
status for official business related to the planning and conduct of exercise
project(s) or HSEEP programmatic requirements as described in the HSEEP
website (e.g., Improvement Plan Workshops, Training and Exercise Plan).

Section E. OPSG Operations Order Template
Operations Order Instructions
As part of the FY 2011 OPSG application process, each eligible local unit of
government at the county level or federally -recognized Tribal government must develop
their Operations Order in coordination with State and Federal law enforcement
agencies, to include, but not limited to CBP/BP. Operations Orders that are developed
at the county level should be inclusive of city, county, Tribal, and other local law
enforcement agencies that are eligible to participate in OPSG operational activities, and
the Operations Order should address this in the Executive Summary. The details
should include the names of the agencies, the points of contact, and the individual
funding requests. The OPSG Operations Order Template can be found at
http.-Ilwww.grants.gov.
Requirements Overview
The Operations Orders must:
(1) Be created and submitted in Microsoft Word (*.doc)
(2) Not exceed 6 pages in length with the emphasis on the Executive Summary,
Mission, and Budget
(3) Use the following file naming convention when submitting required documents as
part of the FY 2011 OPSG application: "FY 2011 OPSG <State Abbreviation> -

accepted nor reviewed.
Budget Requirements Overview
In an effort to streamline the application process, each applicant is required to submit an
annual budget addressing OPSG related costs and expenses as part of the Operations
Order. This budget should be detailed and should serve to:
(1) Explain how the costs were estimated
(2) Justify the need for the costs incurred
For clarification purposes, the Operations Order may include tables describing cost and
expense elements (e.g., equipment, fuel, vehicle maintenance costs).
Executive Summary Overview
Details to include in the Operations Order Executive Summary:
(1) Identify the organization name, point of contact, committees, and other structures
accountable for implementing OPSG in your jurisdiction. Typically, this will be a
program lead or manager overseeing operations and individuals assigned to that
agency
(2) Briefly describe how Federal, State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies
will work together to establish and enhance coordination and collaboration on
border security issues
