U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs 810 Seventh Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20531 Janet Reno Attorney General Daniel Marcus Acting Associate Attorney General Mary Lou Leary Acting Assistant Attorney General C.H. "Butch" Straub, II Director, Office for Domestic Preparedness Support Department of Justice Response Center: 1-800-421-6770 Office of Justice Programs World Wide Web Homepage: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov SL000434 Foreword The Office of the Assistant Attorney General, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), in coordination with the National Domestic Preparedness Office, is providing funds to States, the District of Columbia, and the Territories of Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, for purchases of specialized equipment for fire, emergency medical, hazardous materials response services, and law enforcement agencies. These funds will be used to enhance the capabilities of jurisdictions in response to acts of terrorism involving chemical and biological agents, as well as radiological, nuclear, and explosive devices. The threat of terrorist incidents in our Nation presents enormous challenges to the Federal Government and, more significantly, to state and local governments. To address these challenges, the Federal Government is committed to assisting the District of Columbia, all U.S. Territories, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, to better prepare for and respond to terrorist incidents, should they occur. Your role in strategic planning namely, the coordination of resources and responses and in assessing overall jurisdictional capabilities is a critical component of OJP's State and local domestic preparedness initiative. Indeed, the critical role of local government agencies as the Nation's primary first response groups must be reflected in any domestic preparedness plan developed. In recognition of the role local jurisdictions play in any weapons of mass destruction (WMD) response, it is expected that local police, fire, hazardous material, and emergency medical units will receive the majority of funds under this program. Receipt of funds under the program will be contingent on development of two separate, but related, documents. The first is a State-based Needs Assessment, and the second is a Two- Year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. The Needs Assessment will require each jurisdiction to assess its requirements for equipment, first responder training, and other resources involved in a WMD response. This Needs Assessment will form the basis of the Statewide Strategy. The Strategy will provide a "roadmap" of where each entity will target grant funds received under the OJP equipment program and provide OJP a guide on how to target first responder training and other resources available through OJP's Office for State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support. It is also important to understand that the Strategy is a multiyear document and will continue to guide deployment of these resources, by both the jurisdictions for equipment funds and OJP for other resources, over the next 3 years. Through this effort, $2,897,000 will be made available under the Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program for the District of Columbia, the U.S. Territories, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico: $650,000 will be distributed to support planning efforts and $2,247,000 will be available to support equipment purchases. The Attorney General and I believe that the best programs are those that reflect Federal, State, and local coordination and are built on an active partnership with State and local officials. Such partnerships are critical to the successful preparation of our Nation's communities to deal with terrorist threats. Further, such partnerships will strengthen our Nation's capacity to respond to terrorist acts. I look forward to developing a close working relationship with you and your colleagues during the implementation of this program to enhance State and local emergency response activities in preparation for an event that will hopefully never take place. Nonetheless, we must, as a Nation, be diligent and prepared for any terrorist activities. Sincerely, C.H. Straub II Director Office of State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support Contents I.

Background The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), through the Office of the Assistant Attorney General, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI's) National Domestic Preparedness Office (NDPO), is providing financial assistance directly to States. This financial assistance is for the purchase of specialized equipment to enhance the capability of State and local agencies to respond to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and terrorist incidents involving the use of chemical or biological agents, radiological explosives, and incendiary devices. This grant program, the Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program, will provide assistance to each of the Nation's 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Territories (Guam, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands), and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Under the authority of Section 807 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended, "State" means a State, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The receipt of funds under OJP's Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program by each State is contingent upon the completion of two requirements: 1) the submission of the application, as described in this booklet, and 2) development of a Needs Assessment and a Two-Year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. The development of the Statewide Strategy is not required with the initial application, given that its completion may require a substantial amount of time. Accordingly, the items contained in Section V of this booklet, Application Requirements, may be submitted first. Funding will be awarded after review of the initial application. This initial application should include the request for funds to support the planning and development of the Needs Assessment and Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. II. The Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program A. Authorized Program Purpose Funding is authorized by Public Law 105 277, the U.S. Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State; the Judiciary; and related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2000. As part of the OJP's first responder domestic preparedness initiative, the Conference Report (H. Rpt. 105 825, p. 998) accompanying DOJ's Fiscal Year 2000 Appropriations Act provides funding to ensure that first responders are properly equipped and prepared to respond to incidents of domestic terrorism involving chemical and biological agents, as well as radiological and explosive devices. The Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program will provide funding through grants to the States to acquire personal protective; chemical, biological, and radiological detection; decontamination; and communications equipment. This equipment will enable the States to enhance their first response capabilities in the areas of fire, emergency medical, hazardous materials response services, and law enforcement in the State. B. Unauthorized Program Expenditures Expenditures for equipment such as vehicles and trailers, general-use laptop computers, computer monitors and printers, and video-monitoring equipment, as well as arms and ammunition, are not allowable under this grant. Funds for this program may be used to enhance the capabilities of State and local first responders through the acquisition of personal protective; chemical, biological, and radiological detection; decontamination; and communications equipment in accordance with the Fiscal Year 2000 Authorized Equipment Purchase List (see Appendix E). III. Eligible Applicants and Funding Availability The equipment grant awards were determined by a base amount of $250,000 to each State, with the balance of funds being distributed on a population-share basis. State population figures were determined from July 1, 1998, U.S. Bureau of the Census data. Further, each State will receive planning funds for conducting a Needs Assessment and developing a Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. Specific planning fund allocations for fiscal year 2000 are provided in this section. The Governor of each State has designated a State agency to apply for and administer the grant funds. The State may elect to subgrant or award funds directly to cities or counties within the State, or to retain the funds for use at the State level. Funds retained for use by the State must also benefit local units of government. The Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program is intended to build first responder capabilities to respond to incidents of domestic terrorism at the local level. As such, States are encouraged to provide the majority of the funds in this program to local units of government. Grant funds may also be used to support broader domestic preparedness activities, such as regional hazardous materials teams or other State operations in which the State, as a first response agency, will assist local units of government.

C. Certifications: The following three certifications must also accompany the application: 1) Certifications Regarding Lobbying; Debarment, Suspension and Other Responsibility Matters; and Drug-Free Workplace Requirements; 2) Non- Supplanting Certification; and 3) Equipment Coordination Certification (see Appendix A). The Equipment Coordination Certification requires the director of the State agency to ensure that: The application has been coordinated and developed in consultation with representatives of various fire, emergency medical, hazardous materials response services, and law enforcement units operating within the State. Equipment obtained with these funds is consistent with and will be deployed as a part of the existing Terrorism Annex to the State's Emergency Management Plan. Equipment acquired under this grant program will be deployed consistent with mutual aid agreements currently in effect in the State. Further, applicants requesting OJP grant funding should, to the extent possible, coordinate the State's equipment purchase activities with existing State Response Plans and/or the State's Terrorism Consequence Management Plan, involving the Federal Emergency Management Agency. E. Standard Form-LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities: Any applicant requesting a grant of more than $100,000 should review and sign the lobbying certification form (see Appendix A), if applicable, after carefully reading the instructions provided in the form. Signing this form commits the applicant to compliance with the certification requirements under 28 CFR part 69, New Restrictions on Lobbying, and 28 CFR part 67, Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) and Governmentwide Requirements for Drug-Free Workplace (Grants). The certification will be treated as material representing the fact and relied on by the U.S. Department of Justice in awarding grants. F. Program Narrative: The program narrative should be a brief and preliminary version of information required for the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. This section should also include, if the information is known at the time of application, a priority listing of jurisdictions indicating where grant funding will be used for equipment purchases. G. Program Management Structure: The State should describe how the program will be structured, organized, and managed within the State. The State should also provide an organizational chart of the administrative agency and describe how the program will be structured within the State organization of government. H. Sensitive Information: Information that may adversely affect the jurisdiction's response plans should be clearly identified and marked "Sensitive Information." VI. Program Narrative The program narrative should be no longer than 15 pages, not including appendices and/or annexes. Applications must include a description of how they were developed in consultation with representatives from fire, emergency medical, hazardous materials response services, and law enforcement agencies. In addition, program narratives must include the following: 1. Problem Statement: The States must assess and define the nature and extent of the potential terrorism problem. This statement should be a brief and preliminary version of the information required for the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. 2. Overview of State's Capability: The State must provide a short description of its ability and resources to mitigate a terrorist incident at the State and local levels based on the training received, practical exercise experience, and equipment currently available. This assessment must take into account the status of at least four response disciplines fire, emergency medical, hazardous materials response services, and law enforcement. This overview should be a brief and preliminary version of information required for the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. 3. Fiscal Year 2000 Equipment Procurement Plan: State agencies or jurisdictions receiving funding must demonstrate a need for equipment in the following categories: personal protective; chemical, biological, and radiological detection; decontamination; and communications equipment. The request for equipment to be purchased should be based on a review of the equipment already available. The equipment assessment should reflect the needs of the fire, emergency medical, hazardous materials response services, and law enforcement disciplines. 4. Implementation and Evaluation Plan: The State must provide a program implementation plan that includes a schedule of milestones of significant tasks for the procurement plan, as well as a list, in order of priority, of the jurisdictions to receive funding. The implementation and evaluation plan may be presented as a chart, identifying the steps the applicant will undertake to implement the program and the deadlines for completion of the equipment procurement process. VII. Needs Assessment and Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy In providing funding for fiscal year 2000 equipment grants, Congress directed that each State complete a needs assessment of State and local agency requirements and develop a two-year interagency, governmentwide implementation strategy to meet statewide needs. To effectively determine and enhance first responder capabilities across the Nation, this Needs Assessment and Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy will be required of all States accepting these funds. The Needs Assessment and Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy will provide information relative to the State's current gaps in resources and its projected response capabilities for two (2) years (2000, and 2001). The documents will also address the development of training, practical and situational exercises, and other program needs for first responder communities in the WMD terrorist arena. This information will enable OJP to provide the appropriate technical training on the use of the equipment purchased through this grant program and other technical assistance as needed. The Needs Assessment is composed of three separate assessments: the Jurisdiction Risk Assessment, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) "Public Health Assessment Instrument for Emergency Preparedness," and the Capabilities and Needs Assessments. Based on the findings of the Needs Assessment, jurisdictions are to develop a three-year projection of required equipment, training, exercises, and technical assistance for all response disciplines. This information will then be used in the development of the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. The Strategy will include information regarding the jurisdictions involved, coordination efforts, nature and extent of the problem, current efforts, areas of greatest need, goals and objectives, and an evaluation plan. It is anticipated that the development of the Needs Assessment and Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy will require substantial time to complete. Therefore, to expedite the expenditure of funds, fiscal year 2000 grant program funds will be awarded prior to the State's completion of the Needs Assessment and Statewide Strategy. Equipment needs that the State proposes to fund prior to the completion of the Statewide Strategy should be identified in the application and based on information the State has available at that time. These determinations should, however, project those areas of need resulting from the Needs Assessment and the Statewide Strategy. It is recommended that the needs of first responders in local jurisdictions be given precedence over those of State or regional agencies. Additional guidance for conducting the Needs Assessment and developing the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy can be found in Appendix C. VIII. Administrative Requirements A. General Requirements 1. Single Point of Contact (SPOC) Review: Executive Order 12372 requires applicants from State and local units of government or other organizations providing services within a State to submit a copy of the application to the State SPOC, if one exists and if this program has been selected for review by the State (see Appendix G). Applicants must contact their State SPOC to determine whether the program has been selected for State review. The date that the application was sent to the SPOC or the reason such submission is not required should be entered in block 16 on Standard Form 424, Application for Federal Assistance (see Appendix A). 2. Civil Rights: All recipients of Federal grant funds are required to comply with nondiscrimination requirements contained in various Federal laws. All applicants should consult the Assurances to review the applicable legal and administrative requirements of the statute that governs OJP-funded programs or activities. Section 809(c)(1), Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 3789(d) of the Act provides that "no person in any state shall on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under or denied employment in connection with any programs or activity" in which Federal law enforcement assistance is provided under this chapter. Recipients of assistance under the OJP Office for Domestic Preparedness Support are subject to the provisions of Section 809(c) of the Act; Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; the Age Discrimination Act of 1975; and the U.S. Department of Justice Non-Discrimination Regulations, 28 CFR part 42, subparts C, D, E, and G. If any court or administrative agency makes a finding of discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, disability, or age against a recipient of funds after a due process hearing, the recipient must agree to forward a copy of the finding to the OJP Office of Civil Rights. If the applicant is applying for a grant of $500,000 or more, DOJ regulations (28 CFR 42.301) require an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan. The plan should be included with the application submission if it is not already on file. 3. Administrative Provisions: For the Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program, the limitations cited in this section and all other administrative provisions authorized under sections 801 809 of the of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (hereafter referred to as the Act), shall apply. a.

B. Financial Requirements 1. Non-Supplanting Certification: The application package must include a signed certification affirming that Federal funds will be used to supplement existing funds for equipment purchases and will not replace (supplant) funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose. Potential supplanting will be addressed in the application review as well as in the preaward review, postaward monitoring, and the audit. Applicants or grantees may be required to supply documentation certifying that a reduction in non-Federal resources occurred for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt of Federal funds. 2. Match Requirement: None. 3. Passthrough Requirement: Funds granted to the State may be further subgranted by the State to units of local government to carry out the program contained in the approved application. The portion of funds to be distributed to local units of government should be determined by the needs of the jurisdictions, as based on the Needs Assessment conducted for the grant program. The Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program is intended to build local first responder capability to respond to incidents of domestic terrorism. Accordingly, States are encouraged to provide the majority of funds in this program to local units of government. 4. Audit Requirement: State governments must comply with the organizational audit requirements of OMB Circular A 128, which states that a recipient that receives more than $25,000 in Federal funds during its fiscal year is required to submit an audit report to its cognizant Federal agency.

Appendix C Guidance for Conducting a Needs Assessment and Developing a Two- Year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy Needs Assessment and Two-Year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy An Overview I. INTRODUCTION Conducting a Needs Assessment and developing a Two-Year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy are conditions of the State's acceptance of grant funds under the Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program. The Needs Assessment and Statewide Strategy should provide a comprehensive blueprint for the coordination and enhancement of response efforts to WMD terrorism incidents, as well as for the utilization of Federal, State, and local resources within the State. All information requested for the completion of the Needs Assessment is designed for use in the development of the Statewide Strategy. The Needs Assessment and Statewide Strategy should cover the fiscal years 2000 and 2001. These may be submitted separate from and subsequent to the Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program application. The Office for Domestic Preparedness Support has developed Needs Assessment and Statewide Strategy tools to aid states and jurisdictions in conducting risk, capability, and needs assessments to help prioritize the expenditure of grant funds within the State. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's "Threat Assessment" and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's "Public Health Assessment Instrument for Emergency Preparedness" are available for use in the assessment process. The Office of Justice Programs will hold Workshops for State Administrative Agencies (SAA) to provide direct technical assistance for the development of the Needs Assessment and Statewide Strategy. ODP will contact SAA's to coordinate scheduling of the workshops which are tentatively set for the September, 2000 time frame. II. NEEDS ASSESSMENT A. The Needs Assessment is actually composed of three separate assessments, which must be conducted by each participating jurisdiction. These are: 1. Jurisdiction Risk Assessment: This assessment requires an analysis of the jurisdiction's vulnerability (Vulnerability Assessment) to and threat (FBI's "Threat Assessment") of a WMD terrorism incident. These individual assessments are integrated into the process to yield the Jurisdiction Risk Assessment, which is a prerequisite for determining a jurisdiction's needs. II Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's "Public Health Assessment Instrument for Emergency Preparedness": This is an assessment of public health performance for emergency preparedness. The completion of this assessment is a prerequisite for each jurisdiction's two-year projection of needs. Each jurisdiction's assessment must be submitted to the State Administrative Agency (SAA) for use in the development of the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. II Capabilities and Needs Assessments: The Capabilities Assessment documents a jurisdiction's current and required operational capabilities for all response disciplines in all program areas. The Needs Assessment provides the requirements to go from current to required operational capabilities. This information will provide input for the three- year Statewide Strategy for all program areas in all disciplines. Detailed guidance and related forms for conducting the assessments will be provided by OJP. B. Two-Year Projection Inventory and Overall Recommendations: Based on the results of its Needs Assessment, each jurisdiction should complete a two-year projection for all program areas (equipment, training, exercises, and technical assistance) for all response disciplines (fire service, hazardous materials (HAZMAT) response units, emergency medical service (EMS), law enforcement, public works, and public health). Additionally, each jurisdiction must complete an inventory of emergency response teams (ERTs) and provide their overall recommendations to enhance, change, or assist domestic preparedness on a statewide basis. Forms for the projection, inventory, and recommendation will be provided by OJP. The SAA should collect all assessments, projections, inventories, and recommendations from each jurisdiction and summarize this information, which should be submitted to ODP on-line along with the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. The assessments, projections, inventories, and recommendations will serve as a baseline of information in preparing the Statewide Strategy. III. STATEWIDE DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS STRATEGY The Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy should be based upon jurisdictional risk, public health, capabilities, and needs assessments provided by the jurisdiction, as well as two-year projections, related inventories, and recommendations. The Statewide Strategy should also include the following components: A. Identification of Jurisdictions: In developing their Statewide Strategies, SAAs must include the capabilities and roles of the various jurisdictions throughout their States. For this process, a jurisdiction is defined as the responsible entity for providing a coordinated response to a WMD terrorism incident. All rural areas must be included as part of a jurisdiction in the Statewide Strategy. Additionally, during the assessment process all supporting response agreements, such as mutual aid agreements, Emergency Management Assistance Compacts (EMACs), and the Interstate Civil Defense and Disaster Compact (ICDDC) should be considered. Equipment compatibility among supporting jurisdictions should also be considered before completing the Statewide Strategy. The State should identify and prioritize all jurisdictions that will benefit from this program. Subsequently, an SAA should notify jurisdictions that it will assist them in conducting the jurisdiction-level Needs Assessment, which is critical in the development of a Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. B. Coordination: State efforts to coordinate program activities among emergency response services (i.e., fire services, hazardous materials response units, emergency medical services, law enforcement agencies, public works, and public health services) should be described in the strategy. Further, efforts to balance and coordinate different components of the response system (planning, equipment, training, and exercising) and the impact of each component on the others (e.g., equipment on training) should be described in the Statewide Strategy. How the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy enhances Federal, State, and local cooperation and avoids duplication of efforts should be also described. Federal agencies involved with the various dimensions and stages of WMD incidents include the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Public Health Services, and U.S. Department of Justice. As previously indicated, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Federal Bureau of Investigation assessments have been integrated into this process. Other grant sources in addition to OJP, such as those Federal agencies mentioned above, should be considered along with the resources available to conduct the Statewide Strategy. As a result, the most efficient and effective use of the limited resources can be achieved. C. Problem Statement: To develop an effective Statewide Strategy, the State should first define the nature and extent of the potential terrorism problem within its borders and analyze how efficiently and effectively jurisdictional emergency response resources can respond to WMD terrorism incidents. Defining the nature and extent of the problem should include: An assessment of activist/extremist groups in the State and its surrounding area. The history of past acts of terrorism committed within the State. The potential critical targets for acts of terrorism within the State. The level of preparedness to respond to acts of terrorism within the State, including: 1. Emergency response equipment. 2. Training. 3. Exercises. 4. Technical assistance. D. Current Efforts: Before making decisions on new programs required to address the response to domestic terrorism, the State should identify its current activities and level of effort directed toward domestic preparedness. The following should be considered during the assessment process: Current systems that exist to identify and track activist/extremist groups that may affect the State. Inventory of potential targets for acts of terrorism within the State. Level of training available for responding to a WMD terrorism incident. Level of equipment adequate to protect responders, detect agents (chemical, biological, and radiological), decontaminate responders and contaminated victims, and communicate during an incident. Incident or Unified Command System availability. Efforts should include an assessment of the available resources in fire services, hazardous materials response units, emergency medical services, law enforcement, public works, and public health services elements. The analysis should contain a list of the qualifying initiatives undertaken to ensure user accountability as well as a listing of the specific State budget information. E. Resource Needs: The Statewide Strategy should identify gaps in services and areas where additional resources are needed to develop a systemwide capability to respond to WMD terrorism incidents. This section should also include a review of the need for changes in legislation, procedures or interagency cooperation (mutual aid agreements) that would increase the effectiveness of responses to WMD terrorism incidents. The resource needs of each response discipline (fire services, hazardous materials response units, emergency medical services, law enforcement, public works, and public health services elements) should be addressed to include personal protective, detection, decontamination, and communications equipment. This section should also address the need for multijurisdictional efforts, including Federal, State, and local cooperation (mutual aid agreements) and interstate efforts through emergency management assistance compacts (EMAC and ICDDC). A description of existing coordination among jurisdictions should also be outlined. Additionally, this section should contain an analysis of response consistency and coverage throughout the State and the integration of jurisdictional plans. F. Areas of Greatest Need: States should establish criteria for determining priority areas of greatest need. The Statewide Strategy should contain the assessment and analysis for each participating jurisdiction in addition to summary data forms and analysis for the entire State. G. Statewide Strategy Impact on the Response to WMD Terrorism: As the State's current Statewide Strategy is reviewed and modified or a new Statewide Strategy is developed, it is important to assess the impact of the current strategy on the problem. H. Goals and Objectives: The information and data gathered and analyzed in the definition of the nature and extent of the problem, identification of current efforts, resource needs, gaps in services, identification of jurisdictions of greatest need, and analysis of the impact of the current Statewide Strategy serve as the basis for the Statewide Strategy to address emergency response to WMD terrorism incidents in the State. The Statewide Strategy should also identify the financial or personnel resources needed to meet the objectives, set priorities for implementing the objectives, allocate resources, and establish timeframes for accomplishing the objectives. Program priorities for the use of the formula grant funds will flow from the development of the Statewide Strategy. The Strategy should also address the use of other Federal, State, local, and private resources and plans for legislative and administrative changes needed to implement the Statewide Strategy. A comprehensive strategy should contain broad-based goals in the areas of training, exercises, equipment, technical assistance, and planning. For each goal, the State should establish objectives and an implementation plan. The following example is provided to illustrate this point: Example: Training Goals 1. State Goal: To improve the ability of emergency first responders to respond to an act of terrorism by using OJP-developed training. 2. First Objective: To train all emergency responders at the Awareness Competency Level. 3. Implementation Plan: To provide the Awareness Course for Law Enforcement to all law enforcement responders and the Awareness Course to all fire, emergency medical, and hazardous materials response services. IV. INFORMATION COLLECTION The collection of viable information is essential to conducting the Needs Assessment and the subsequent development of the Statewide Strategy. The availability of information will vary among the States and jurisdictions within the States. Not all information on the report forms will be available from all jurisdictions. However, the development of mechanisms to gather all such information should be a goal for the State and jurisdictions. As a result, the consistency in strategy development and decision making processes for the State and the jurisdiction will be improved. In addition to current jurisdictional information, possible sources of additional information include FBI WMD coordinators, Emergency Responder Management Associations, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other State and Federal agencies. If there is insufficient information to adequately analyze a jurisdiction's capability, the jurisdiction should still be included in the statewide collection of information and placed accordingly on the prioritization list. The forms and formats provided for the Needs Assessment and Statewide Strategy will facilitate the collection of information by the State from the various jurisdictions, and enable consistent analysis of jurisdictional capabilities. Each State is encouraged to use the instruments that will be provided in a subsequent mailing to conduct the Needs Assessments. To validate the requirements submitted to OJP for funding under this grant program, these instruments help to provide uniform data and consistent information from the States. V. EVALUATION The evaluation of the Statewide Strategy is the responsibility of the designated SAA for each State. The SAA is responsible for establishing a formal plan to evaluate the effectiveness of its Statewide Strategy in improving its ability to respond to a WMD terrorism incident. In this plan, the State should describe the mechanisms and methods it has or will establish to evaluate the impact of the Statewide Strategy on the response to potential WMD terrorism incidents in the State and the programs and projects funded to implement the Statewide Strategy. At a minimum, the State should report its progress in attaining the objectives established for each goal based on the performance measure for each objective. For example, the attainment of training objectives can be measured by the number of individuals and teams who have successfully completed requested training by course and discipline. The impact of exercises can be measured by results documented in the formal After Action Report for each exercise. The amount of equipment ordered and received, by type and discipline, is a measure of success for equipment acquisition. Technical assistance can be measured by the effect achieved by the particular use of this resource. Additionally, a subjective appraisal of the progress toward preparedness for response can be covered in the narrative. Appendix D Fiscal Year 2000 Authorized Equipment Purchase List Fiscal Year 2000 Authorized Equipment Purchase List The authorized equipment purchase list is derived from the Standardized Equipment List (SEL), which was developed by the Interagency Board (IAB) for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability. IAB compiled the SEL on behalf of the National Domestic Preparedness Office (NDPO) to determine what types of equipment are available to terrorist-incident emergency response teams. Because the SEL contains lists of general-use and support equipment, an authorized purchase list was derived from the SEL to identify specific types of equipment in four limited categories that are authorized for purchase under the OJP Fiscal Year 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program. The categories of equipment are personal protective, detection, decontamination, and communications. A cross-section of officials representing the Public Health Service (PHS), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Department of Justice (OJP and FBI), and State and local hazardous materials experts assisted by identifying unallowable equipment purchases and developing an allowable/authorized equipment purchase list. Using the sample budget worksheets in Appendix A as a guide, please list your State's equipment purchase requests for fiscal year 1999. Authorized equipment purchases may be made in the following categories: 1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). 2. Chemical, Biological, or Radiological Detection Equipment. 3. Chemical, Biological, or Radiogical Decontamination Equipment. 4. Communications Equipment. 1. Personal Protective Equipment.
