FOA-FY20 Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (DHS-20-NPD-007-00-01); July 24, 2020

 

Agency

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

 

Description

The Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (HSPTAP) provides financial assistance to professional non-profit organizations in activities to improve and/or build state, local, tribal and territorial (SLTT) capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate major events, including threats or acts of terrorism.

 

Due to the unique threats that the nation faces in 2020, DHS/FEMA has determined four priority areas for FY 2020 HSPTAP funds:

1) Enhancing cybersecurity (including election security)

2) Enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded places (including election security);

3) Enhancing information and intelligence sharing and cooperation with federal agencies, including DHS;

4) Addressing emergent threats (e.g., unmanned aerial systems [UASs], etc.).

 

Specific HSPTAP program activities anticipated for achieving this goal include, but will not be limited to: developing and disseminating written products; facilitating calls, meetings, or discussions; providing and organizing seminars, training and workshops for

key homeland security and emergency preparedness SLTT stakeholders nationwide (e.g., state emergency management directors, state homeland security advisors, and other professional organizations in the public and private sectors, etc.) to share information, knowledge, experiences, and practices relating to current and emerging homeland security, emergency management and public safety issues and efforts.
