The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), National Preparedness Directorate (NPD)
and Grant Programs Directorate (GPD), Technical Assistance (TA)
Program seeks to build and sustain capabilities through specific
services and analytical capacities across two primary functional
areas: Preparedness TA activities in support of the four homeland
security mission areas (prevention, protection, response, and
recovery); Homeland security program management This two-pronged
approach ensures that initiatives measurably contribute to the
enhancement of homeland security capabilities through State and
local homeland security programs. The TA program addresses the
areas of greatest State and local need by institutionalizing
knowledge at the State and local level and providing a dynamic menu
of services that is responsive to national priorities. The TA
Program is driven by the following three core tenets: TA must
support the National Preparedness Guidelines (Guidelines), National
Priorities, and associated national strategies and doctrine that
maintain homeland security; TA must be flexible and adaptable to
fully address current national threats and the present day needs of
homeland security personnel; TA must include a layered range of
products ranging from guidance and templates to specialized on-site
support that apply to States, regions, Urban Areas, counties,
tribal entities, and private interests with a role in homeland
security TA service deliveries may take a variety of forms that can
be combined or modified to meet the specific needs of each
requesting State or local jurisdiction. To best accommodate the
wide variety of TA needs and deliverables, NPD and GPD support the
following three levels of TA: Level 1 - Information Resources:
General information to raise awareness or enhance familiarity with
best practices/protocols required within all jurisdictions. Level 2
- Models, Templates, and Samples: Delivery of solution packages and
performance models drawn from Federal, state, and local studies,
best practices, and experience that guides the implementation of
various initiatives. Level 3 - On-site Workshops: Delivery of
rigorous, customized solutions through direct, on-site support,
including workshops, guidance, and facilitation efforts to maximize
direct interaction between TA providers and TA recipients and
ensure the successful implementation of the most complex
initiatives. Preparedness TA services seek to build and sustain
capabilities in support of the four homeland security mission areas
(prevention, protection, response, and recovery) and the suite of
priorities and capabilities outlined in the Guidelines. As
capability gaps are identified within State and local
jurisdictions, Preparedness TA services are designed, developed,
and delivered to address those needs and build capabilities in the
most critical areas. The GPD Program Management TA services provide
direct assistance in the establishment and enhancement of the
overall homeland security administrative framework within State and
local jurisdictions. These TA services help build the
infrastructure at the State and local levels in which preparedness
purchases, training activities, exercises, and additional
assistance can accurately be managed, administered, tracked, and
measured. This component of the overall TA Program includes
services focused on grant reporting, grants management, overall
homeland security program management, and resource management
strategies for special needs jurisdictions.
