About the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA)Overview of FEMAFEMA has helped people before, during, and after disasters for more than 40 years. FEMA remainscommitted to building and developing a culture of preparedness across the country and unifying all levelsof community and government in an integrated approach to emergency management. FEMA is part of alarger team of federal agencies, state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments, and nongovernmental partners that share responsibility for emergency management and national preparedness.Those closest to impacted areas are the true first responders during any emergency or disaster—individuals, families, neighbors, and local communities. FEMA’s role is to coordinate federal resources tosupplement SLTT capabilities. FEMA does this by coordinating through the levels of government,meaning that states and their local political subdivisions, tribes, and territories are our primary partners.Overview of Preparedness Grant ProgramsFEMA has the statutory authority to deliver numerous disaster and non-disaster financial assistanceprograms in support of its mission, and that of the Department of Homeland Security, largely throughgrants and cooperative agreements. These programs account for a significant amount of the federal fundsfor which FEMA is accountable. FEMA officials are responsible and accountable for the properadministration of these funds pursuant to federal laws and regulations, Office of Management and Budgetcirculars, and federal appropriations law principles. FEMA has developed this Manual to provideadditional direction on grant policy and implementation for the following grant programs:Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP)The HSGP includes a suite of risk-based grants to assist SLTT efforts in preventing, preparing for,protecting against, and responding to acts of terrorism. The grants under HSGP include: State Homeland Security Program (SHSP)SHSP assists state, local, tribal, and territorial efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilitiesnecessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism.Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI)UASI assists high-threat, high-density urban areas’ efforts to build, sustain, and deliver thecapabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against and respond to acts of terrorism.Operation Stonegarden (OPSG)OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among Customs and Border Protection(CBP), United States Border Patrol (USBP), and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial lawenforcement agencies to improve overall border security. OPSG provides funding to support jointefforts to secure the United States’ borders along routes of ingress/egress to and frominternational borders, to include travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and Canada, as wellas states and territories with international water borders. SLTT law enforcement agencies utilizetheir own law enforcement authorities to support the border security mission and do not receiveany additional authority as a result of participation in OPSG.Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (THSGP)The THSGP provides funding directly to eligible tribes to strengthen their capacity to prevent, preparefor, protect against, and respond to potential terrorist attacks.Preparedness Grants Manual February 20217
Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP)The NSGP provides funding for physical security enhancements and other security-related activities tononprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist attack. The NSGP also seeks to integrate thepreparedness activities of nonprofit organizations with broader state and local preparedness efforts.Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP)The TSGP provides funds to eligible public transportation systems (which include intra-city bus, ferries,and all forms of passenger rail) to protect critical transportation infrastructure and the travelling publicfrom terrorism, and to increase transportation infrastructure resilience.Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP)The IBSGP provides funds to eligible private operators of intercity over-the-road bus transportationsystems to protect critical transportation infrastructure and travelling public from acts of terrorism, and toincrease transportation infrastructure resilience.Intercity Passenger Rail (IPR) Program – AmtrakThe IPR provides funds to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) to protect criticaltransportation infrastructure and the travelling public from terrorism, and to increase transportationinfrastructure resilience.Port Security Grant Program (PSGP)The PSGP provides funding to port authorities, facility operators, and state and local agencies foractivities associated with implementing Area Maritime Security Plans, facility security plans, and otherport-wide risk management efforts.Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) ProgramThe EMPG Program provides funds to assist state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency managementagencies in obtaining the resources required for implementation of the National Preparedness System andthe National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation.Preparedness Grants Manual February 20218
ForewordFEMA has developed this Preparedness Grants Manual to guide applicants and grant recipients on howto manage their grants and other resources. Recipients seeking guidance on policies and procedures formanaging preparedness grants should reference this Manual for further information on both programspecific information as well as overall guidance on rules and regulations that guide the propermanagement of FEMA grants.The National Preparedness GoalThe National Preparedness Goal (the Goal) is “[a] secure and resilient Nation with the capabilitiesrequired across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover fromthe threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk.” See Department of Homeland Security, NationalPreparedness Goal, Second Edition, 1 (Sept. 2015). The Goal essentially defines what it means for allcommunities to be prepared collectively for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to thenation. The Goal identifies 32 distinct activities, called core capabilities, needed to address the risks. TheGoal organizes these core capabilities into five categories, called mission areas. Some core capabilitiesapply to more than one mission area. For example, the first three core capabilities—Planning, PublicInformation and Warning, and Operational Coordination—are cross-cutting capabilities, meaning theyapply to each of the five mission areas. The Goal describes the five mission areas as follows: Prevention: Prevent, avoid or stop an imminent, threatened or actual act of terrorism.Protection: Protect our citizens, residents, visitors, and assets against the greatest threats andhazards in a manner that allows our interests, aspirations and way of life to thrive.Mitigation: Reduce the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of future disasters.Response: Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basichuman needs in the aftermath of an incident.Recovery: Recover through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening and revitalization ofinfrastructure, housing and a sustainable economy, as well as the health, social, cultural, historic,and environmental fabric of communities affected by an incident.The mission areas and core capabilities organize the activities and tasks performed before, during, andafter disasters into a framework for achieving the goal of a secure and resilient Nation. Resilience is thedesired outcome, defined in the Goal as the “ability to adapt to changing conditions and withstand andrapidly recover from disruption due to emergencies.” Id. at A-2. For more information about the Goal, goto cipients will use the National Preparedness System to build, sustain, and deliver these core capabilities.The components of the National Preparedness System are: Identifying and Assessing Risk, EstimatingCapability Requirements, Building and Sustaining Capabilities, Planning to Deliver Capabilities,Validating Capabilities, and Reviewing and Updating. Additional information on the NationalPreparedness System is available at http://www.fema.gov/national-preparedness-system. Additionaldetails regarding the National Preparedness System and how it is supported by these grant programs canbe found in the program-specific appendices.Preparedness Grants Manual February 20219

Classical approach to management is a set of homogeneous ideas on the management of organizations that evolved in the late 19 th century and early 20 century. This perspective emerges from the industrial revolution and centers on theories of efficiency. As at the end of the 19th century, when factory production became pervasive and large scale organizations raised, people have been looking for .
