PROJECT ADMINISTRATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Title: Central Region Training and Exercise
Project Summary:
Request that funds awarded to MCDEM for the Central Region be granted to DEMA under a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) to be managed on behalf of the Region's training and exercise needs. This project allows
the Region to continue a highly successful multi-year training and exercise program via a phased approach.
Maricopa County cities, towns, tribes and county departments within the Central Region determine training and
exercise needs. DEMA then provides necessary support. This approach has proven successful in the Region
over past years, and funding will allow the Central Region to continue building capabilities identified through the
State's THIRA workshop and after action items. Should a portion of the projected training and exercise activities
be cancelled or postponed, funds will be used to support additional short-notice, no-notice or unplanned costs for
approved FEMA training programs, exercises, specialty training or conferences in support of regional needs as
identified though MYTEP updates, AAR/IP, SPR or other gaps identified through real world events.

INITIATIVES
Initiatives:
Implement NIMS and NRP Capabilities
Is this project a Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activity (LETPA)?: No
Project Type: Establish/enhance sustainable homeland security training program
Is this project also submitted in UASI?: No
Does this project support a National Priority Area?:
No
THREAT PROFILE
1. What is the terrorism threat your area faces that will be addressed by this project?:
Active Shooter
Explosive Devices
Cyber Attack
2. Explain how this project will assist your agency in preventing/protecting against/mitigating/responding
to/recovering from all hazards events and threats including your chosen terrorism threat in question 1.:
This project will enable collaboration among all jurisdictions within the region to help prevent, protect against, mitigate,
respond to and recover from acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events. Funding under this project will allow the
region to continue a highly successful multi-year training and exercise program where first responders and emergency
services personnel receive and maintain training consistent with their current and potential responsibilities. Providing
regional stakeholders with training in exercise development, incident command, incident management, mitigation and
recovery planning, mass care and mass fatalities will better enable them to prepare for and respond to real-world
incidents and exercise scenarios involving active shooter, explosive devices (including improvised nuclear devices
and radiological dispersal devices), and cyber incidents. Awarded funds will assist in the sustainment and delivery of
regional core capabilities including command, control and communication; establishing a common operating picture;
and ensuring NIMS/ICS compliance. This will be accomplished through the following means: Approved Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) training programs, to include (but not limited to) Incident Command System
(ICS), National Incident Management System (NIMS) training, and FEMA’s Advanced Professional Series; All Hazards
Incident Management Team training; County, Regional, and State Exercise Programs; and other specialty training or
conferences that support gaps identified through After Action Reports/Improvement Plans, Threat and Hazard
Identification and Risk Assessments, or as required by stakeholder Emergency Operations Plans for All-Hazards and
terrorist incidents. Request awarded regional funds be transferred to the Arizona Department of Emergency and
Military Affairs (DEMA) under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to be managed in support of the region’s
training and exercise projects.

management. Maintain for 14 day( › Training › NIMS/ICS compliance
4. What resources does your agency currently have to support the capability target selected above?:
Limited to no funding, specifically for training. We would be reliant on DEMA's ability to request no-cost training from
Federal agencies (at the provider's discretion), which would result in a significant lack of all-hazards training, and
training designed to support preparedness and response to terrorist incidents. A regionwide lack of training would
undermine the Region's ability to bridge the gaps noted in the 2017 and subsequent SPRs.
5. How will this project help your agency to achieve the capability target selected above?:
This project will enable collaboration among all jurisdictions within the region to help prevent, protect against, mitigate,
respond to and recover from acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events. Funding under this project will allow the
region to continue a highly successful multi-year training and exercise program where first responders and emergency
services personnel receive and maintain training consistent with their current and potential responsibilities. Providing
regional stakeholders with training in exercise development, incident command, incident management, mitigation and
recovery planning, mass care and mass fatalities will better enable them to prepare for and respond to real-world
incidents and exercise scenarios involving active shooter, explosive devices (including improvised nuclear devices
and radiological dispersal devices), and cyber incidents. Awarded funds will assist in the sustainment and delivery of
regional core capabilities including command, control and communication; establishing a common operating picture;
and ensuring NIMS/ICS compliance. This will be accomplished through the following means: Approved Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) training programs, to include (but not limited to) Incident Command System
(ICS), National Incident Management System (NIMS) training, and FEMA’s Advanced Professional Series; All Hazards
Incident Management Team training; County, Regional, and State Exercise Programs; and other specialty training or
conferences that support gaps identified through After Action Reports/Improvement Plans, Threat and Hazard
Identification and Risk Assessments, or as required by stakeholder Emergency Operations Plans for All-Hazards and
terrorist incidents. Request awarded regional funds be transferred to the Arizona Department of Emergency and
Military Affairs (DEMA) under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to be managed in support of the region’s
training and exercise projects.
6. Will your agency continue to maintain, support and sustain this capability with other funding sources if
Homeland Security grant funds were no longer available?: No
6a. Describe the reasons your agency will not continue to maintain/sustain this capability.:
file:///C/Users/joseph.cruz@maricopa.gov/Downloads/2024%20State%20Homeland%20Security%20Grant%20Application.html[1/29/2024 9:05:41 AM]

2024 State Homeland Security Grant Application
There is currently a lack of other funding sources available for the Central Region to provide this level of training for all
stakeholders. Each agency within the Central Region would be reduced to choosing only the most critical training and
delivering it internally and having to fund the training internally. Continued funding of this Central Region training and
exercise project will allow training, delivery, and course offerings to be maximized cost-effectively.
7. Does this project support a NIMS typed resource?: No
8. Has your agency previously been awarded Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP, UASI and/or OPSG)
funding to support this project/capability?: Yes
8a. List the Subrecipient Agreement number and award amounts previously received in support of this
capability.:
FY15 150203-02 - $124,139; FY16 160204-03 - $167,000; FY17 170203-01 - $105,197; FY18 180205-01- $105,592;

9. Is this a multi-phase project?:
No
10. Will your project benefit more than just your own agency?:
Yes
10a. List which agencies that will have a direct benefit:
27 cities/towns and 4 Tribal Nations located within Maricopa County
10b. Describe in detail how the agencies mentioned in question 10a will benefit.:
Continued training and collaboration among 27 cities/towns and four tribal nations located within Maricopa County,
Central Region, will help ensure personnel receive and maintain training consistent with their current and potential
responsibilities to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism and other
catastrophic events in these jurisdictions; which encompass an international airport, numerous major sports and
entertainment venues, and is home to more than 4.4 million residents. In addition to promoting classroom
collaboration, the FEMA programs ensure that personnel can respond and work in unison, just as they train and
exercise together. This effort directly supports command, control, and coordination, helps to build a common operating
picture and ensures compliance with NIMS/ICS.

beyond the traditional
sheltering, distribution of
emergency supplies, and
feeding and now
includes access and
functional needs
support, reunification
services, evacuation
support and support to
household pets and
service animals. These
activities are critical in
the aftermath of a
disaster. By making
communities resilient
and capable of preparing
for and managing Mass
Care and Emergency
Assistance, the ability of
a whole community to
respond to and recover
from a disaster will be
enhanced. This course is
designed to provide
training for local
communities to prepare
for and manage this
function effectively. The
goal is to prepare
community agencies,
organizations, and
businesses to work
together to provide Mass
Care and Emergency
Assistance services to
those affected by
disaster. The purpose of
this course is to develop
foundational knowledge
of Mass Care and
Emergency Assistance
services in the
community. It is not a
“how to” for sheltering.
