Preface

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) was

established by the Homeland Security Act of2002 (Public Law 107-296) by amendment

to the Inspector General Act of1978. This is one of a series of audit, inspection, and

special reports prepared as part of our oversight responsibilities to promote economy,

efficiency, and effectiveness within the department.

The DHS OIG, through the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency

(CIGIE), has developed an inventory of federal programs that provide disaster

preparedness assistance to individuals, states, localities, nonprofit organizations,

businesses, and other entities. It is based on a survey of CIGIE members and a review of

the General Services Administration's Catalog ofFederal Domestic Assistance.

We trust this report will result in more effective, efficient, and economical operations.

We express our appreciation to all of those who contributed to the preparation of this

report.

Overview 

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Inspector 

General (OIG), through the Council of the Inspectors General on 

Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), developed this inventory of 

federal programs that provide disaster preparedness assistance to 

individuals, states, localities, nonprofit organizations, and 

businesses, to help ensure the preparedness of the nation to 

prevent, respond to, and recover from threatened and actual 

disasters and emergencies. 

Under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-8 (HSPD-8), the 

Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination 

with the heads of other appropriate federal departments and 

agencies and in consultation with state and local governments, is 

charged with developing a national domestic all hazards 

preparedness goal. Federal departments and agencies must work to 

achieve this goal by: 

a) Providing for effective, efficient, and timely delivery of 

federal preparedness assistance to state and local 

governments; and 

b) Supporting efforts to ensure first responders are prepared to 

respond to major events, especially prevention of and 

response to threatened terrorist attacks. 

For the purposes of this document the term “federal preparedness 

assistance” means federal department and agency grants, 

cooperative agreements, loans, loan guarantees, training, and/or 

technical assistance. Federal preparedness assistance is intended to 

enhance preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and 

mitigation capabilities by funding such items as planning, training, 

exercises, equipment, and interoperable communications. 

The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program defines 

the preparedness mission as the range of deliberate, critical tasks, 

and activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve the 

operational capability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and 

recover from domestic incidents. Preparedness is a continuous 

process involving efforts at all levels of government and between 

government and private sector and non-governmental 

organizations to identify threats, determine vulnerabilities, and 

identify required resources. It is also the existence of plans, 

procedures, policies, training, and equipment necessary at the 

federal, state, and local level to maximize the ability to prevent,

respond to, and recover from major incidents. The term 

“readiness” can be used interchangeably with preparedness. 

We began compiling this inventory by reviewing the Catalog of 

Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) website,1

 conducting a 

simple search for “emergency preparedness” to develop an initial 

inventory of financial and non-financial federal disaster 

preparedness programs. The DHS OIG then surveyed the federal 

Inspector General community to identify additional programs 

which may not have been identified or may not be available 

through the CFDA website. Through our collaborative effort we 

were able to identify 11 agencies and departments with 128 federal 

disaster preparedness programs. Table 1 identifies the 11 agencies 

and departments with disaster preparedness programs and the 

number of programs each agency or department oversees.

The Department of Homeland Security administers 69 of the 

federal disaster preparedness programs, or 54% of the total number 

of programs identified. The Department of Health and Human 

Services and the Department of Commerce oversee a combined 35 

programs, or 27% of all the programs. The remaining 19% of the

 Data search in this report is as of August 2, 2010.

programs are administered by the other 8 agencies and 

departments. 

Through the CFDA website we identified 12 different functional 

areas into which the disaster preparedness programs can be 

categorized. Table 2 lists the number of disaster preparedness 

programs in each functional area. Some disaster preparedness 

programs could fall in more than one functional area. For 

example, we placed the Department of Agriculture’s Emergency 

Conservation Program in the agriculture functional area. This 

program could also be categorized in the areas of civil defense or 

environmental quality. For simplification we assigned each 

program to only one functional area.

We anticipate that this inventory of programs will be used by the 

Inspector General community, federal departments and agencies, 

state and local governments and individuals as a means to become 

more aware of federal disaster preparedness programs. 

We compiled this information under the authority of the Inspector 

General Act of 1978, as amended. We provided CIGIE members 

with the opportunity to verify the information in this compendium, 

and we have incorporated their comments where appropriate.2

 As agreed upon with CIGIE, we performed this work as a non-audit service.

In April 2009, DHS OIG, in collaboration with the CIGIE, 

compiled a Compendium of Disaster Assistance Programs (OIG08-49). Because preparedness overlaps with response and 

recovery, some preparedness programs listed here are also 

identified in the Compendium of Disaster Assistance Programs.
