Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Grant Programs Directorate (GPD)

Grant Focus Areas Homeland Security Ensures the combined expertise and capabilities of Federal, State, territorial, tribal and local governments, and community-based and private organizations are utilized effectively across all hazards planning and response Transportation Security Enhances the security and preparedness of the Nation’s ports of entry and mass transportation systems to protect the traveling public Fire Provides equipment, resources and training to enhance fire departments’ and community organizations’ ability to protect the public and their staff from fire related hazards and injuries Preparedness Supports communication interoperability, information sharing, critical infrastructure hardening, and emergency management resources and personnel

National Preparedness Goal (NPG) Presidential Policy Directive 8: National Preparedness (PPD-8), signed on March 30, 2011, describes the Nation’s approach to preparing for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of the United States The objective of PPD-8 is to facilitate an integrated, all-of-Nation, risk informed, capabilities-based approach to preparedness. Using the core capabilities, we achieve the NPG by: Preventing, avoiding, or stopping a threatened or an actual act of terrorism Protecting our citizens, residents, visitors, and assets against the greatest threats and hazards in a manner that allows our interests, aspirations, and way of life to thrive Mitigating the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of future disasters Responding quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftermath of a catastrophic incident Recovering through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening, and revitalization of infrastructure, housing, and a sustainable economy, as well as the health, social, cultural, historic, and environmental fabric of communities affected by a catastrophic incident The core capabilities contained in the NPG are the distinct critical elements necessary for our success. They are highly interdependent and will require the use of existing preparedness networks and activities, improve training and exercise programs, promote innovation, and ensure that the administrative, finance, and logistics systems are in place to support these capabilities.

Private sector applicants were required to provide at least 50% of the total project cost; public sector applicants were required to provide at least a 25% match In reviewing PSGP applications, higher priority was given to those Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)- related projects that focused on installation and infrastructure than those that focused on the purchase of TWIC card readers Expanded operational costs in FY 2012 to include labor (new hires) for the first time Any ferry system that participated in the PSGP was not eligible for funding under the TSGP

Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) Program Overview FY 2011 FY 2012 Purpose: TSGP provided funds to owners and operators of transit systems to protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism, major disasters, and other emergencies Eligibility: Eligible transit agencies were determined based on daily unlinked passenger trips (ridership) and transit systems that serve historically eligible UASI jurisdictions $200,079,000 $87,500,000 FY 2012 Changes Top Transit Asset List (TTAL) remediation plans was not a funding priority area under TSGP. The focus was on TTAL remediation projects in which plans are complete and can begin and be completed in a timely manner DHS identified critical infrastructure assets of national concern through the TTAL. Critical infrastructure assets are those vital to the functionality and continuity of a major transit system that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, public health or safety, or any combination thereof.  With the creation of the TTAL, DHS can now target funding to the remediation of those assets on the list in an informed and risk-based approach To be consistent SHSP, UASI, and PSGP methodologies, TSGP formula added a new vulnerability component.  This was formulated in conjunction with TSA’s analysis of vulnerable transit areas Reduced the total number of allowable Investments from 15 to 8 (law enforcement can apply for an additional 5) Operational activities and TTAL remediation remained the highest priorities for funding under TSGP Certain ferry systems were eligible to participate in the FY 2012 TSGP and receive funds. However, any ferry system electing to participate and receive funds under the FY 2012 TSGP was not be eligible to participate under the FY 2012 PSGP, and was not considered for funding under the FY 2012 PSGP
