FY06 Homeland Security Grant Program
Foreword: Director's Message
The Governor's Office of Homeland Security (OHS) is pleased to release the FY2006 Homeland Security
Grant Program (HSGP) guidance. Along with its introduction are several important changes to the grant
process beginning this year. First, subgrantees will need to prioritize their expenditure of funds in meeting
homeland security goals and objectives. Funds not utilized in a timely fashion will be reallocated to those
agencies or jurisdictions with a demonstrated need and use of the grant award. Second, all applications
must include a ten (10) percent allotment for training purposes, specifically on equipment that was
purchased and successful courses that have been developed. As you review this Grant Guide, you will
note some variations from prior years which attempt to incorporate the core United States Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Grants and Training (G&T) programs into a unified process which
seeks to:
• Employ a risk and need -based allocation process;
• Provide funding to build and sustain capabilities in support of the National
Preparedness Goal and National Priorities;
• Allow flexibility at State and Local level to support Goal implementation; and
• Clearly articulate the differences between the component grant programs.
The federal DHS has consolidated the administration of five (5) programs into one (1) application
package and the California OHS has followed this direction as well. With this Grant Guide and
Application Kit you will be able to apply for these distinct programs: State Homeland Security Program
(SHSP), Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program
(LETPP), Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS), and Citizen Corps Program (CCP).
Additionally, State Agencies and Port Districts shall also be eligible to apply for FY06 funding via this
application process.
The prevention of a terrorist attack is the number one priority for the OHS and is based on public safety
partnerships in information sharing at the local and regional level. To compliment federal efforts,
California has created four (4) mutually supporting Regional Terrorism Threat Assessment Centers
(RTTAC) aligned with the four (4) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Field Offices in the state (San
Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento), as well as the State Terrorism Threat Assessment
Center (STTAC), all linked by a common information sharing system, the California Joint Regional
Information Exchange System (CAL DRIES). Agencies currently participating are encouraged to sustain
their commitment to their regional RTTACs, to CAL JRIES, and to the Terrorism Liaison Officers
(TLOs) concept of individuals trained in the review and assessment of local reporting, and agencies not
participating are encouraged to join.
We look forward to your continued collaboration towards our homeland security strategy and our efforts
in protecting California. Through the joint development of the state's Enhancement Plan and Investment
Justifications, we will work together towards achieving the four (4) mission areas of the National
Preparedness Goal: prevent, protect, respond, and recover.

Public Records be subject to the provisions of the California Public Records Act
Act (Governmental Code Section 6250 et seq.). This means that all, or part, of the

will make every effort to protect sensitive information, it is imperative that
information provided to the state does not contain information that constituent
jurisdictions or agencies believe are confidential. The applicant's and
subgrantee's failure to protect such information from disclosure may
jeopardize the safety and security of the people of the State of California. For
example, do not specifically identify potential targets, locations, and their
vulnerabilities if this information is not already public knowledge. While
bridges and shopping malls are well known targets, key distribution points of
petroleum products and data storage facilities are not. Applicants and

expectation that it may be made publicly available. If there are any questions
about the inclusion of sensitive information in any information provided to
the state, contact the Governor's Office of Homeland Security (OHS).

Information Analysis
Regional
Governor Schwarzenegger has emphasized that prevention of a terrorist attack must
Terrorist
be the number one priority for the Office of Homeland Security (OHS). As a major
Threat
part of the prevention component of California's Homeland Security Strategy, our
Assessment
plan to detect, deter and prevent terrorism in California is based on public safety
Center
partnerships in information sharing and at thexegional and local level. These ,
(RTTAC)
partnerships bring together federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, and
their respective law enforcement, public safety and criminal information systems,
including those of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI). To compliment federal efforts, California has created
four mutually supporting Regional Terrorism Threat Assessment Centers (RTTACs),
aligned with the four FBI Field Offices in the state (San Diego, Los Angeles, San
Francisco and Sacramento), and a State Terrorism Threat Assessment Center
(STTAC), all linked by a common information sharing system, the California Joint
Regional Information Exchange System (CAL JRIES).
State
The State Terrorism Threat Assessment Centers (STTAC) is a partnership of the
Terrorism
California Department of Justice, the California Highway Patrol and the California
Threat
Office of Homeland Security (OHS), with representation of allied state and federal
Assessment
agencies. The State Center is designed to provide California's senior leaders with
Center
real time situational awareness of identified threats, visibility of and coordination
(STTAC)
With the critical infrastructure of the state, and constant access to the latest local,
state and national information analysis products and to maintain strategic
assessments of threats that can affect California.
Terrorism
The RTTACs develop a regional threat assessment picture, have analytical functions
Liaison
and directly connect the state and federal systems to share information and produce
Officer
assessments, reports and other threat and warning products. At the local level law
(TLO)
enforcement and public safety agencies designate Terrorism Liaison Officers (TLOs)
who are trained in the review and assessment of local reporting and in conducting
outreach.to other public safety agencies, critical infrastructure operators and
community groups. The TLO is the local agency point of contact for all terrorism -
related alerts, requests for information, warnings and other notifications from
regional, state or federal homeland security agencies. The TLOs review local agency
reports, manage local reporting and initiate or respond to requests for information.
Through the single web -based state terrorism website contained in CAL JRIES, the
TLOs and their agency have access to all available terrorisms alerts, notices,
information and documents with searchable databases.
The California threat assessment system not only serves to protect California, it also
fully compliments and serves the needs of both the FBI. and DHS, providing access
to information from the local police officer to national analyst and investigator, all
sharing access to information and sharing relevant products to ensure better safety
for our state and nation. The system is fully compatible with the National Criminal
Information Sharing Plan from the U.S. Department of Justice, and our regional
information sharing strategy is the largest and most comprehensive in the nation.
Agencies currently participating in our state system and encouraged to sustain their
commitment to their regional RTTACs, to CAL JRIES and to the TLO concept, and
agencies not yet participating are encouraged to join. Information regarding the
Regional Terrorism Threat Assessment Center supporting your jurisdiction can be
obtained from OHS by contacting us at IA@ohs.ca.gov, or referring to our website
for information directing you to the respective supporting RTTAC.

Costs programmatic activities deemed allowable under existing guidance.
Supplanting, however, is not allowed.
Up to 15% of programmatic spending may be used to support the hiring of
full or part-time. personnel to conduct program activities that are allowable
under the entire FY 2006 HSGP (i.e., planning, training program
management, exercise program management, etc). Grantees may request that
DHS issue a waiver to increase that ceiling. Waiver decisions are at the
discretion of DHS and will be considered on a case -by -case basis. The ceiling
on personnel costs does not apply to contractors, and is in addition to eligible
M&A costs and eligible hiring of intelligence analysts. Grantees may hire
staff only for program management functions not operational duties.
Hiring planners, training program coordinators, exercise managers, and grant
administrators fall within the scope of allowable program management
functions. Grant funds may not be used to support the hiring of sworn
public safety officers to fulfill traditional public safety duties.
Management The federal DHS has increased the subgrantee Management and

and Equipment
Purchase
The federal Department of Homeland Security's Equipment Purchase
Assistance
Program
Assistance Program (EPAP)* allows grantees access to the Defense Logistics
Agency's (DLA) "prime vendors". California has established an on-line
purchase process with Fisher Safety, a DLA prime vendor that will allow
subgrantees access to the EPAP. Benefits of the program include shorter
procurement lead time, online ordering and a diverse inventory of products.
However, Fisher Safety may not carry all items on the AEL and standard
subgrantee procurement processes should be followed to obtain those items.
Subgrantee participation in EPAP is voluntary. Expansion of this program
to prior year Homeland Security and Urban Areas grants is under
consideration.
Subgrantees must submit an Equipment Inventory from the OHS Financial
Management Workbook with their application package. The Workbook is
available at hqp://www.homeland.ca.g6v/grants.htmi , and indicates, by
project and funding source, the value of equipment purchases to be made
through Fisher Safety, or through the subgrantee's standard procurement
processes. Subgrantee funds committed to Fisher Safety will be paid by the
state, directly to DLA, upon Fisher Safety's notification that subgrantee
ordered equipment has been shipped. Consequently, the funds committed to
Fisher Safety will not be available for subgrantees to request as either an
advance or reimbursement payment.
To view Prime Vendor pricing on the Quartermaster website and try out
the site without placing an order.
1. Go to Fisher Safety's website www.fishersakty.com
2. Under the usemame enter "caprimevendor"
3. Under the password type "california" in lowercase.
4. Common reimbursable products can be view by SEL/AEL categories
under the Hotlist link in the top right corner
5. All Products can be found in Search by typing in part numbers,
descriptions, and manufacturer's names. Search will show all items in
Fisher's system but will highlight the reimbursable ones with a small
green "P"and labeled CA OHS/DES reviewed item.

FY06 Homeland Security Grant Program
Construction Use of FY 06 funds for construction and renovation is generally prohibited,
and Renovation however with written approval by the Assistant Secretary for the Office of
Grants and Training, up to $1.0 million may be used for construction.
NOTE: Written approval must be provided by DHS prior to the use of any
FY 06 funds for construction or renovation. This includes the allowable
exceptions noted in the federal Guidance.
UASI UASI changes include the:
• DHS consolidated San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco into one Urban
Area.
• DHS consolidated Los Angeles and Long Beach into one Urban Area.
• DHS consolidated Santa Ana and Anaheim into one Urban Area.
• DHS authorized both San Diego and Sacramento for sustainment funding
only. If the DHS risk score associated with each of these cities does not
increase then they will not be eligible for future UASI funding.
MMRS The most notable change for Metropolitan Medical Response System
(MMRS) is that, in past years, this was a direct grant from the federal
government to the local jurisdiction. Starting with FY 06, MMRS is now
granted to the state and the state, in turn, subgrants to cities pre -selected by
DHS.
CCP In FY06, California received a CCP allocation of approximately $1.5 million.
Because of the small dollar amount of these grants, DHS has removed the
80% minimum pass -through requirement that it normally places on awards to
the state. The emphasis on Citizen Corps Program (CCP) elements -- such as
developing and utilizing Citizen Corps councils and programs to increase
citizen participation and training -- has been significantly increased at the
federal level across all six HSGP initiatives and as such should be funded
through these initiatives. To that end, the federal DHS has repeatedly
emphasized that the involvement of citizens should be incorporated into all
facets of homeland security. This marks a significant change from earlier
years when all citizen -based activities were funded out of a single set -aside
grant — the Citizen Corp Program. DHS is emphasizing that citizen
involvement should be a critical consideration in all HSGP grant programs.
The California Service Corps, which manages California's Citizen Corps
Program, will utilize the state's allocation to develop statewide initiatives,
programs and projects that have benefit for all local units of government.
The CSC will work to strengthen Citizen Corps Program implementation at
the state and local level. The CSC will support numerous statewide
initiatives, programs and projects to include:
FY06 Homeland Security Grant Program
Program Changes, Continued
CCP, continued ■ Sponsoring statewide/regional conferences, workshops and exercises for
council and program coordinators and their volunteers;
■ Supporting Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) T-T-T and
CERT T-4 Program Manager's Academy training;
■ Conducting statewide and regional CCP marketing campaigns;
■ Increasing staff support to all Citizen Corps programs — CERT,
Volunteers in Police Service, Medical Reserve Corps, Fire Corps, and the
Neighborhood Watch Program;
■ Developing new resources for Citizen Corps councils and programs;
■ Developing new courses for emergency managers as well as Citizen
Corps and national service programs;
■ Offering guidance, technical assistance, training and support to local
councils and programs;
■ Supporting ongoing coordination of state working groups to advance the
field;
■ Developing SEMS/NIMS guidance for integrating Voluntary, Volunteer,
and Service organizations in all hazard preparedness, response and
recovery activities;
■ Providing basic and advanced Volunteer Management Plan development
training for OA partnerships;
■ Coordinating the role of Voluntary, Volunteer and Service Organizations
in the state's Golden Guardian Exercise;
■ Developing state, regional and local VOAD (Voluntary Organizations
Active in Disasters) capacities and capabilities; and,
■ Ensuring increased state coordination in time of major disaster by
supporting the state and local Volunteer Management function.
The involvement of citizens into preparedness and response activities cannot
be separated from the full homeland security planning process. This is
strongly emphasized in a number of the upcoming federal initiatives.
California encourages its Citizen Corps councils and programs to work
collaboratively to increase the level of preparedness of its most underserved
communities.
In accordance with the DHS policy of full integration of citizen -based
programs into the various federal programs and initiatives, Operational Areas
are encouraged to continue their citizen -based programs and use available
FY06 funds from the other HSGP programs. Each OA should further
integrate citizen -based activities across the entire HSGP and fund its citizen -
based programs in a manner appropriate to achieve local, state and national
priorities. Given the federal requirements for citizen -based involvement,
adequate allocations are critical for both continuity of these programs and
achievement of the objectives in the National Preparedness Goal.

Organizations
Apply?
What are the
State Priorities
While the State Homeland Security Strategy broadly describes goals,
for FY 06
objectives and implementation steps, the state's priorities for FY 06 HSGP
HSGP?
are:
(1 ) Interoperable Communications
(2) Catastrophic Planning
(3) Medical Surge
(4) Citizen Preparedness and Participation
(5) Mass Prophylaxis
(6) Critical Infrastructure Protection
(7) Training for First Responders
If OHS receives applications for more funds than are available, projects will
be approved in accordance with the preceding list of priorities.
If a state organization applies for any of the UASI state allocation, the funds
must be used to directly support one or more pre -selected urban area(s). The
application's UASI project description must describe the project AND
identify the urban area(s) that will be supported by the project.
FY06 Homeland Security Grant Program
Ports
Federal The FY 2005 DHS Appropriations Act provides funds for a competitive grant
Program program to address physical security enhancements for critical national
seaports. A priority for the Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) in FY 2005
is risk -based distribution of funding. As part of this focus on risk, the FY
2005 PSGP will direct the available funds to the Nation's highest risk ports,
thereby ensuring federally regulated ports, terminals and U.S. inspected
passenger vessels receiving the funds represent assets of the highest strategic
importance nationally. To identify the most at -risk seaports, G&T worked
with the United States Coast Guard and DHS Infrastructure Directorate, Risk
Management Division (RMD) to develop the following risk formula:
Risk = Consequence X Vulnerability X Threat
The elements of each risk factor included:
• Consequence — people, economic, national security, port -specific
special considerations (hazardous materials, oil);
• Vulnerability — distance from open water, number of port calls,
presence of tankers; and,
• Threat — credible threats and incidents (intelligence community,
USCG, less credible threats and incidents (operational indicators),
vessels of interest.
The Nation's 129 largest volume ports were evaluated using this formula.
Based on this risk -based evaluation, 11 port areas have been identified for
inclusion in the FY 2005 PSG Program.
State Program Subsequent to the DHS announcement of grant funding on May 31, 2006 the
Governor's Office of Homeland Security may make funding available to Port
Authorities statewide from it's FY 06 HSGP grant award. The use of these
additional funds will be restricted to Physical Security Enhancement
Equipment, CBRNE Logistical Support Equipment, Terrorism Incident
Prevention Equipment, Interoperable Communications Equipment, Detection
Equipment, Personal Protective Equipment and Training.
