2. Local units of government should support NIMS implementation by:
. Having relevant personnel complete the NIMS Awareness Course:
These independent study courses are available on-line and will take between forty-five minutes to three
hours to complete. The course is available on the Emergency Management Institute web page at:
htto://trainine:.fema.eov
. Formally recognizing NIMS and adopting NIMS principles and policies. The NIC will provide
sample language and templates to assist in formally adopting NIMS through legislative andlor
executive/administrative means.
. Establish a NIMS baseline by determining which NIMS requirements are already satisfied. The
NIC is developing a web-based self-assessment system, the NIMS Capability Assessment Support Tool
(NIrv1CAST) to evaluate their incident response and management capabilities. The NIC is currently
piloting the NIrv1CAST with a limited number of states. Upon completion of the pilot, the NlC will
provide all potential future users with voluntary access to the system.
3. FY 2008 Requirements
In order for the State to receive FY 2008 preparedness funding, the compliance requirements described above
must be met. Additional information about NIMS compliance and resources for achieving compliance will be

E. Monitorinl!:
Florida Division of Emergency Management
US Department of Homeland Security Grants Program
Grant Monitoring Process
Florida has enhanced the state and local capability and capacity to prevent, prepare and respond to terrorist threats since 1999 through
various funding sources including federal grant funds. As the steward of the State Homeland Security Grant Program funds, projects
and equipment the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) has a responsibility to track and monitor the status of the
grant activity and items purchased.
The monitoring process detailed in this document is designed to assess a recipient agency's compliance with applicable state and
federal guidelines. The FDEM is responsible fOf monitoring the financial, programmatic and capability portion of the grant to include
equipment procurement and compliance with applicable SHSGP grant guidance and statutory regulations.
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/capability. Financial monitoring is the review of records
associated with the purchase and disposition of property, projects and contracts. Capability review is the obsetvation of equipment
purchased, protocols and other associated records. Various levels of financial and programmatic review may be accomplished during
this process.
Desk monitoring is defined as the review of projects, fmancial activity and technical assistance between the program office and the
applicant via e-mail and telephone. Site visits are defined as actual visits to the recipient agency's location by a team or members of
the FDEM or their designee, to actually obsetve records, procedures and equipment
Freouencv of annual monitorin2 activity:
Each year the FDEM will identify up to 50010 of sub-grantees for site visit monitoring. It is important to note that although a given
grant has been closed successfully, it is still subject to either desk or on-site monitoring.
Enmoles of areas that may be examined include:
Management and administrative procedures
Grant folder maintenance
Equipment accoWltability 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
Specific difficulties completing the project.
Agency NIMSfICS compliance documentation
In Citizen Corps programain circumstances, the FDEM may request additional monitoring/information if the activity, or lack there of,
on the part of the specific recipient has generated questions from the region, the sponsoring state agency or the FDEM leadership. The
method of gathering this infonnation will be detennined on a case-by-case basis.
Desk monitoring is an on-going process. Agency recipients will be required to participate in desk top monitoring on an annual basis
and as determined by the FDEM. The agency recipients will compete and submit the desk top monitoring within 14 business calendar
days of receipt. This contact will provide an opportunity to identify the need for technical assistance (TA) and/or a site visit if the
FDEM detennines that a recipient is having difficulty completing their project.
As difficulties/deficiencies 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 regionaJ or sponsoring agency level. Issues that require further TA will be referred to the
FDEM for assistance. Examples ofTA include but are not limited to:
;. Equipment selection or available vendors
;. Eligibility of items or services
;. Coordination and partnership with other agencies within or outside the region or discipline.
Site Visits
Site visits will be conducted by the FDEM or their designated personnel. Site visits will be scheduled in advanced with the recipient
agency poe designated in the grant agreement. Monitoring questionnaires will be provided in advance of the visit.
27
16F5 f
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.
All findings related to the capability review will be documented and maintained within the FDEM.
Site Visit Protocol
The following outlines the monitoring protocol for the FDEM:
The site 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 site visit checklist to assist in the completion of all
required tasks.
Site Visit PreoaratioD
A letter will be sent to recipient agency Point of Contact (POC) stating the purpose of the site visit and sent at least 30 calendar days
before the planned arrival date. FDEM personnel will call within the next 10 calendar days to schedule an appointment to review the
grantee's program.
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.
The appointment should be confirmed with the grantee in writing (email is acceptable) and documented in the grantee folder.
Any personnel from the FDEM attending the site visit will review the grantee's corresponding folder(s) before the visit. Prior to the
visit, individual roles will be identified for the site visit. Copies of applicable documents will be made and distributed to the site visit
team at a minimum of five (5) calendar days before the visit. A reminder e-mail should be sent to all team members and the recipient
POC one business day in advance of the site visit
Site 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 Wld will proceed to perform the financial review.
FDEM personnel will review all files and supporting docwnentation. Once the supporting documentation has been reviewed, a
tour/visual/spot inspection of equipment will be conducted.
Each item should be visually inspected whenever possible. Bigger items (computers, response vehicles, etc.) should have an asset
decal (infonnationlserial 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$I,OOO. per item).
Ifan 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 Site Visit
FDEM personnel will review the site visit worksheet as a team and receive notes from the Financial Review Team, if applicable.
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 also
be generated and sent to the grantee. The grantee will submit a Corrective Action Plan within a timeframe as detennined by the
FDEM. The Site Visit Worksheet, report and photographs will then be included in the grantee's file along with any documents
distributed at the site visit by the grWltee.
