• Overtime and Backiill — The entire amount of overtime costs, including payments related to backfilling personnel,
which are the direct result of time spent on the design, development, and conduct of exercises are allowable expenses.
These costs are allowed only to the extent the payment for such services is in accordance with the policies of the State
or unit(s) of local government and has the approval of the State or the awarding agency, whichever is applicable. In
no case is dual compensation allowable. That is, an employee of a unit of government may not receive compensation
from their unit or agency of government AND from an award for a single period of time (e.g., 1:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m.), even though such work may benefit both activities.

the planning and conduct of exercise project(s) or HSEEP programmatic requirements as described in the HSEEP
website (e.g., Improvement Plan Workshops, Training and Exercise Plan).
• Supplies — Supplies are items that are expended or consumed during the course of the planning and conduct of the
exercise project(s) (e.g., copying paper, gloves, tape, non - sterile masks, and disposable protective equipment).
• Disability Accommodations — Materials, services, tools and equipment for exercising inclusive of people with
disabilities (physical, programmatic and communications access for people with physical sensory, mental health,
intellectual and cognitive disabilities).
• Other Items — These costs include the rental of equipment and other expenses used specifically for exercises, costs
associated with inclusive practices and the provision of reasonable accommodations and modifications to provide full
access for children and adults with disabilities.
Unauthorized exercise - related costs include:
.� Reimbursement for the maintenance and/or wear and tear costs of general use vehicles (e.g., construction
vehicles) medical supplies, and emergency response apparatus (e.g., fire trucks, ambulances).
Equipment that is purchased for permanent installation and/or use, beyond the scope of exercise conduct (e.g.,
electronic messaging signs).
+� The purchase of food is not permissible under this grant, subject to prior approval of the Department of
Financial Services, explicitly authorized by 2 CFR, Part 225, and Appendix B. While this is an allowable
purchase by DHS, please note that FDEM adheres to Florida Statues, which are more stringent than federal
guidance. Such expenditures are restricted to the rates specified for Class C meals in Section 1 12.061, Florida
Statutes.
Exercise Requirements
Training and Exercise Plan Workshop. States and Urban Areas are required to conduct an annual Training and Exercise Plan
Workshop (TEPW). A Multi -year Training and Exercise Plan must be developed from the workshops on an annual basis and
submitted to the States respective Exercise Program point of contact. The State Exercise Program point of contact should submit
a copy of the State and Urban Area plans to hseep dhs.¢ov.
The Training and Exercise Plan will include the State's prioritized capability requirements and a Multi -Year Training and
Exercise Plan (schedule) that supports the identified capabilities. In addition to submission of the Multi -Year Training and
Exercise Plan to hseeo Qdhs.eov, all scheduled training and exercises should be entered into the HSEEP National Exercise
Scheduling (NEXUS) System, located in the HSEEP Toolkit on the HSEEP website httos: //h=.dhs.gDv.
States must complete a cycle of exercise activities during the period of this grant. Exercises conducted by States and Ur \ban
Areas may be used to fulfill similar exercise requirements required by other grants programs. To this end, grantees are
encouraged to invite representatives/planners involved with other federally- mandated or private exercise activities. States and
Urban areas are encouraged to share, at a minimum, the multi -year training and exercises schedule with those departments,
agencies, and organizations included in the plan.
• Exercise Scenarios. The scenarios used in HSGP - funded exercises must be based on the State/Urban Area's
Homeland Security Strategy and plans. Acceptable scenarios for SHSP and UASI exercises include: chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive, cyber, agricultural and natural or technological disasters.
The scenarios used in HSGP - funded exercises must focus on validating existing capabilities and must be large
enough in scope and size to exercise multiple tasks and warrant involvement from multiple jurisdictions and
disciplines and nongovernmental organizations and take into account the needs and requirements for individuals with
disabilities. Exercise scenarios should align with objectives and capabilities identified in the Multiyear Training and
Exercise Plan.
24
Packet Page -2571-
11/12/2013 16.E.4.
• Special Event Planning. If a State or Urban Area will be hosting a special event (e.g., Super Bowl, G -8 Summit) the
special event planning should be considered as a training or exercise activity for the purpose of the Multi -year
Training and Exercise Plan. The State or Urban Area should plan to use SHSP or UASI funding to finance training
and exercise activities in preparation for those events. States and Urban Areas should also consider exercises at
major venues (e.g., arenas, convention centers) that focus on evacuations, communications, and command and
control. States should also anticipate participating in at least one Regional Exercise annually. States must include all
confirmed or planned special events in the Multi -year Training and Exercise Plan.
• Exercise Evaluation and Improvement. Exercises should evaluate performance of the objectives and capabilities
required to respond to the exercise scenario. Guidance related to exercise evaluation and improvement planning is
defined in the HSEEP located at httos:HhsseR.dhs.ga.
• Self- sustaining Exercise Programs. States are expected to develop a self - sustaining exercise program. A self -
sustaining exercise program is one that is successfully able to implement, maintain, and oversee the Multi -Year
Training and Exercise Plan, including the development and delivery of HSGP - funded exercises. The program must
utilize a multi - disciplinary approach to the development and delivery of exercises, and build upon existing plans,
training, and equipment.
• Role of Non - Governmental Entities in Exercises. Non - governmental participation in all levels of exercises is
strongly encouraged. Leaders from nongovernmental entities should be included in the planning, conduct, and
evaluation of an exercise. State, local, tribal, and territorial jurisdictions are encouraged to develop exercises that
test the integration and use of non - governmental resources provided by non - governmental entities, defined as the
private sector and private non - profit, faith- based, community, volunteer, and other non - governmental organizations.
Non - governmental participation in exercises should be coordinated with the local Citizen Corps Council(s) or their
equivalent and other partner agencies. The scenarios used in HSGP - funded exercises must focus on validating
existing capabilities, must comply with and be large enough in scope and size to exercise multiple activities and
warrant involvement from multiple jurisdictions and disciplines and non - governmental organizations, and take into
account the needs and requirements for individuals with disabilities.
D. Management and Administration - no more than 3% of each sub - recipient's total award may be expended on
Management and Administration costs.
Hiring of full -time or part-time staff or contractors/consultants:
• To assist with the management of the respective grant program

task forces, Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs), Area Maritime Security Committees (as required by Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2002), DHS Border Enforcement Security Task Forces, and Integrated Border Enforcement
Teams. Grant funding can only be used in proportion to the Federal man -hour estimate, and only after funding for these
activities from other Federal sources (i.e. FBI JTTF payments to State and local agencies) has been exhausted. Under no
circumstances should DHS grant funding be used to pay for costs already supported by funding from another Federal
source.
Operational overtime costs. In support of efforts to enhance capabilities for detecting, deterring, disrupting, and
preventing acts of terrorism, operational overtime costs are allowable for increased security measures at critical
infrastructure sites. FY 2013 SHSP or LAS I funds for organizational costs maybe used to support select operational

perform allowable FY 2013 HSGP planning, training, exercise, and equipment activities. A personnel cost cap of up to 50
percent (50%) of the total SHSP and UASI program funds may be used for personnel and personnel - related activities as
directed by the Personnel Reimbursement for Intelligence Cooperation and Enhancement (PRICE) of Homeland Security
Act (Public Law 110412). Grantees who wish to seek a waiver from the personnel cost cap must provide documentation
explaining why the cap should be waived; waiver requests will be considered only under extreme circumstances. In
general, the use of SHSP and UASI funding to pay for staff and/or contractor regular time or overtime/backfill is
considered a personnel cost.
For further details, please refer to Information Bulletin 358.
FY 2013 HSGP funds may not be used to support the hiring of any personnel for the purposes of fulfilling traditional
public health and safety duties or to supplant traditional public health and safety positions and responsibilities.

H. National Incident Management System (NIMS) Compliance
HSPD -5, "Management of Domestic Incidents," mandated the creation of NIMS and the National Response Plan (NRP).
NIMS provides a consistent framework for entities at all jurisdictional levels to work together to manage domestic
incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity. To promote interoperability and compatibility among Federal, State,
local, and tribal capabilities, NIMS includes a core set of guidelines, standards, and protocols for command and
management, preparedness, resource management, communications and information management, supporting
technologies, and management and maintenance of NIMS. The NRP, using the template established by NIMS, is an all -
discipline, all- hazards plan that provides the structure and mechanisms to coordinate operations for evolving or potential
Incidents of National Significance, which are major events that "require a coordinated and effective response by an
appropriate combination of Federal, State, local, tribal, private sector, and nongovernmental entities."
The NIMS Integration Center (N1C) recommends 38 NIMS Compliance Objectives for nongovernmental organizations
that support NIMS implementation. These activities closely parallel the implementation activities that have been required
of State, territorial, tribal, and local governments since 2004 and can be found at
www .f=a.kov /Rdf/emerancy /nimstnpo fs odf. To integrate nonprofit organizations into the broader national
preparedness effort, DHS encourages grantees to consider pursuing these recommended activities.
Additionally, nongovernmental organizations grantees and sub- grantees will be required to meet certain NIMS compliance
requirements. This includes all emergency preparedness, response, and/or security personnel in the organization,
participating in the development, implementation, and/or operation of resources and/or activities awarded through this
grant must complete training programs consistent with the NIMS National Standard Curriculum Development Guide.
Minimum training includes IS -700 NIMS: An Introduction. In addition, IS -800.a NRP: An Introduction, incident
Command System (ICS -100), Incident Command System (ICS -200), Intermediate Incident Command System (G -300), and
Advanced Incident Command System (0400) are also recommended. For additional guidance on NIMS training, please
refer to httpi//www.fema-gov/emcMencyinims/nims tminingshtm.
Additional information about NIMS implementation and resources for achieving compliance are available through the
NIMS Integration Center (NIC), at h=J /www.fema. -/emergency /nims /.

S. Monitoring:
Florida Division of Emergency Management
US Department of Homeland Security Grants Program
Grant Monitoring Process
Florida has enhanced state and local capability and capacity to prevent, prepare and respond to terrorist threats since 1999 through
various funding sources including federal grant funds. The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) has a responsibility to
track and monitor the status of grant activity and items purchased to ensure compliance with applicable SHSGP grant guidance and
statutory regulations. The monitoring process is designed to assess a recipient agency's compliance with applicable state and federal
guidelines.
Monitoring is accomplished utilizing various methods including desk monitoring and on -site visits. There are two primary areas,
reviewed during monitoring activities - financial and programmatic monitoring. Financial monitoring is the review of records associated
with the purchase and disposition of property, projects and contracts. Programmatic monitoring is the observation of equipment
purchased, protocols and other associated records. Various levels of financial and programmatic review may be accomplished during
this process.
Desk monitoring is the review of projects, financial activity and technical assistance between FDEM and the applicant via e-mail and
telephone. On -Site Monitoring are actual visits to the recipient agencies by a Division representative who examines records, procedures
and equipment.
Freauencv of annual monitoring activity:
28
Packet Page -2575-
11/12/2013 16.E.4.
Each year the FDEM will conduct monitoring for up to 50% of their sub- grantees. It is important to note that although a given grant has
been closed, it is still subject to either desk or on -site monitoring for a five year period following closure.
Areas that will be examined include:
Management and administrative procedures;
Grant folder maintenance;
Equipment accountability and sub -hand receipt procedures;
Program for obsolescence;
Status of equipment purchases;
Status of training for purchased equipment;
Status and number of response trainings conducted to include number trained;
Status and number of exercises; .
Status of planning activity;
Anticipated projected completion;
Difficulties encountered in completing projects;
Agency NIMS/ICS compliance documentation;
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO Status);
Procurement Policy
FDEM may request additional monitoring/information if the activity, or lack thereof, generates questions from the region, the sponsoring
agency or FDEM leadership. The method of gathering this information will be determined on a case -by -case basis.
Desk monitoring is an on -going process. Recipients will be required to participate in desk top monitoring on an annual basis and as
10-11 determined by the FDEM. This contact will provide an opportunity to identify the treed for technical assistance (TA) and/or a site visit if
the FDEM determines that a recipient is having difficulty completing their project.
As difficulties/defrciencies are identified, the respective region or sponsoring agency will be notified by the program office via email.
Information will include the grant recipient agency name, year and project description and the nature of the issue in question. Many of
the issues that arise may be resolved at the regional or sponsoring agency level. Issues that require further TA will be referred to the
FDEM for assistance. Examples of TA include but are not limited to:
4. Equipment selection or available vendors
l Eligibility of items or services
, . Coordination and partnership with other agencies within or outside the region or discipline
4 Record )seeping
Reporting Requirements
i. Documentation in support of a Request for Reimbursement
On -Site Monitoring will be conducted by the FDEM or designated personnel. On -site Monitoring visits will be scheduled in advance
with the recipient agency POC designated in the grant agreement.
The FDEM will also conduct coordinated financial and grant file monitoring. These monitoring visits will be coordinated with the
capability review visits. Subject matter experts from other agencies within the region or state may be called upon to assist in the form of
a peer review as needed.
29
Packet Page -2576-
�J
11/12/2013 16.E.4.
All findings related to the capability review will be documented and maintained within the FDEM.
On -site Monitoring Protocol
On -site Monitoring Visits will begin with those grantees that are currently spending or have completed spending for that federal fiscal
year (FFY). Site visits may be combined when geographically convenient. There is a financial and programmatic on -site monitoring
checklist to assist in the completion of all required tasks.
Site Visit Preparation
A letter will be sent to the recipient agency Point of Contact (POC) outlining the date, time and purpose of the site visit before the
planned arrival date.
The appointment should be confirmed with the grantee in writing (email is acceptable) and documented in the grantee folder.
The physical location of any equipment located at an alternate site should be confirmed with a representative from that location and the
address should be documented in the grantee folder before the site visit.
On -Site Monitoring Visit
Once FDEM personnel have arrived at the site, an orientation conference will be conducted. During this time, the purpose of the site
visit and the items FDEM intends to examine will be identified. If financial monitoring visit will be conducted, they will then explain
their objectives and will proceed to perform the financial review.
FDEM personnel will review all files and supporting documentation. Once the supporting documentation has been reviewed, a
tour /visual /spot inspection of equipment will be conducted. -*-1
Each item should be visually inspected whenever possible. Bigger items (computers, response vehicles, etc.) should have an asset decal
Onformation/serial number) placed in a prominent location on each piece of equipment as per recipient agency requirements. The serial
number should correspond with the appropriate receipt to confirm purchase. Photographs should be taken of the equipment (large capitol
expenditures in excess of$1,000. per item).
If an item is not available (being used during time of the site visit), the appropriate documentation must be provided to account for that
particular piece of equipment. Once the tour /visual/spot inspection of equipment has been completed, the FDEM personnel will then
conduct an exit conference with the grantee to review the findings.
Other programmatic issues can be discussed at this time, such as missing quarterly reports, payment voucher /reimbursement, equipment,
questions, etc.
Post Monitoring Visit
FDEM personnel will review the on -site monitoring review worksheets and backup documentation as a team and discuss the events of
the on -site monitoring.
Within 30 calendar days of the site visit, a monitoring report will be generated and sent to the grantee explaining any issues and
corrective actions required or recommendations. Should no issues or findings be identified, a monitoring report to that effect will be
generated and sent to the grantee. The grantee will submit a Corrective Action Plan within a timeframe as determined by the FDEM.
Noncompliance on behalf of sub - grantees is resolved by management under the terms of the Sub grant Agreement.
The On -Site Monitoring Worksheets, the monitoring report and all back up documentation will then be included in the grantee's file
