Available Grants

This grant will continue to support a competitive exercise grant program for related costs to design, develop, conduct, and evaluate an exercise for County and Tribal exercise. Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) guidelines are a key component of national preparedness providing an opportunity to plan, assess, and validate capabilities, and address areas for improvement. This grant may be used to conduct regional, multi-jurisdictional, and tribal workshops and or exercises that focus on the development of multiple agency partnership. Applications whose exercise projects that reflect a regional collaboration across counties is encouraged and applications that address Integrated Preparedness Plans (IPP) will receive preferential award consideration. As a reminder, all SHSP funded projects must have a demonstrated nexus to achieving target capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to acts of terrorism. However, such projects may also simultaneously support enhanced preparedness for disasters unrelated to acts of terrorism.
