**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 for the purchase 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 State and local units of government to respond 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 State and local governments better
prepare for and respond to terrorist incidents, should they occur. The
role of the States in strategic planning---namely, the coordination of
resources and responses---and in assessing overall State and local
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 the States develop. **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 a State's
development of two separate, but related, documents. The first is a
State-based Needs Assessment, and the second is a Three-Year Statewide
Domestic Preparedness Strategy. The Needs Assessment will require each
State 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 State 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
States for equipment funds and OJP for other resources, over the next 3
years.

Through this effort, \$51.8 million will be made available to the
individual States under the Fiscal Year 1999 State Domestic Preparedness
Equipment Program: \$8 million will be distributed to support State
planning efforts and \$43.8 million 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,

Laurie Robinson

Assistant Attorney General

**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, 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
1999 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program, will provide
assistance to each of the Nation's 50 States.

The receipt of funds under OJP's Fiscal Year 1999 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 Three-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, as well as a request for those funds to be
distributed under the Fiscal Year 1999 Program to support equipment
purchases.

**II. The Fiscal Year 1999 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 1999. 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 1999 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. Pursuant to Conference Report language, equipment
> acquisition assistance will be provided to the Nation's 157 largest
> cities and localities, as well as the States.
>
> The Fiscal Year 1999 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program
> will provide funding through grants to the Nation's 50 States to
> acquire personal protective; chemical, biological, and radiological
> detection; decontamination; and communications equipment. This
> equipment will enable the States and eligible Indian tribes to enhance
> their first response capabilities in the areas of fire, emergency
> medical, hazardous materials response services, and law enforcement at
> the State and local levels of government.

**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 1999 Authorized Equipment Purchase List (see Appendix E).

**These funds are available *only* for first responder basic defensive
equipment.**

**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, 1997, U.S. Bureau of the Census data. Further, each State will
receive funds for conducting a Needs Assessment and developing a
Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. Again, a base amount of
\$75,000 will be provided to each State, with the balance of funds being
distributed on a population-share basis. Specific funding allocations
for fiscal year 1999 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 that have not
received equipment grants from OJP under the Fiscal Year 1999 County and
Municipal Agency Domestic Preparedness Equipment Support Program (see
Appendix D) 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 1999 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.

**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 1999 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. **These funds are available *only* for first responder
> basic defensive equipment.**
>
> **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 1999 equipment grants, Congress
directed that each State complete a needs assessment of State and local
agency requirements and develop a three-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 three (3) years (1999, 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 1999 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.

**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 1999 State

> 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. Recipients that receive less than \$25,000
> in Federal funds are exempt from audit requirements. The Attorney
> General and the Comptroller General of the United States shall have
> access, for audit and examination, to any books, documents, and
> records of recipients of Fiscal Year 1999 State Domestic Preparedness
> Equipment Program assistance provided under this subdivision that, in
> the opinion of the Attorney General or the Comptroller General, are
> related to the receipt or use of such assistance. The grantee will
> give the sponsoring agency or the Comptroller General, through any
> authorized representative, access to and the right to examine all
> records, books, papers, or documents related to the grant.

**State Agency Budget**

The budget submission process will generally be conducted in three
stages. Forms for these submissions are found within this section.

The first three budget submissions will be required as part of the
application, planning and development of a statewide strategy, and
purchase of equipment.

-   The initial submission will simply entail completion of the
    Preliminary Budget Submission. This form must be included in the
    application for the State funding.

-   The Budget Detail Worksheet, OJP Form 7150/1 (5-95), should be
    submitted when the State has determined how the planning funds are
    to be used.

-   The Equipment Purchase Budget Detail Worksheet should be completed
    and returned after the entities to receive equipment and the type of
    equipment to be purchased have been determined.

**Guidance for Conducting a Needs Assessment and Developing a Three-Year
Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy**

**Needs Assessment**

**and**

**Three-Year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy**

**An Overview**

**I. INTRODUCTION**

> **Conducting a Needs Assessment and developing a Three-Year Statewide
> Domestic Preparedness Strategy are conditions of the State's
> acceptance of grant funds under the Fiscal Year 1999 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 1999, 2000, and 2001 and may be submitted separate from and
> subsequent to the Fiscal Year 1999 State Domestic Preparedness
> Equipment Program application.
>
> The Office for State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support has
> developed Needs Assessment and Statewide Strategy tools to aid
> 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 Regional
> Workshops for the State agencies to provide direct technical
> assistance for the development of the Needs Assessment and Statewide
> Strategy. These regional workshops are tentatively scheduled for March
> 2000.

**II. NEEDS ASSESSMENT**

1.  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.

1.  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's "Public Health
    Assessment Instrument for Emergency Preparedness": This is an
    assessment of public health performance for emerging preparedness.
    The completion of this assessment is a prerequisite for each
    jurisdiction's three-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.

2.  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.

2.  Three-Year Projection---Inventory and Overall Recommendations: Based
    on the results of its Needs Assessment, each jurisdiction should
    complete a three-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 OSLDPS 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 three-year
> projections, related inventories, and recommendations. The Statewide
> Strategy should also include the following components:

1.  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:

0.  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:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  

1\. Emergency response equipment.

2\. Training.

3\. Exercises.

4\. Technical assistance.

4.  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:

    0.  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.

7.  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]{.underline}: 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 decisionmaking 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.

**Jurisdictions That Have Received Funding Through the**

**Fiscal Year 1999 County and Municipal Agency Domestic Preparedness
Equipment Support Program**

**Appendix E**

**Fiscal Year 1999 Authorized Equipment Purchase List**

**Fiscal Year 1999 Authorized Equipment Purchase List**

The authorized equipment purchase list was 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 1999 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.
