Fiscal Year 2010 Homeland Security Grant Program Supplemental Resource: Domestic Nuclear Detection Office Guidance
"The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) was established in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by Presidential Directive on April 15, 2005. DNDO plays an essential role in developing and implementing a defensive strategy, with domestic and international programs, to protect the Nation from a nuclear or radiological terrorist attack. Because no single layer within the strategy is capable of providing 100 percent effectiveness in detecting and interdicting radiological and nuclear (rad/nuc) materials for illicit use, DNDO is adopting a multi-layered strategy. The DNDO is the primary agency within the United States (U.S.) Government responsible for developing the global nuclear detection architecture, acquiring and supporting the deployment of the domestic detection system to detect and report attempts to import or transport a nuclear device or fissile or radiological material, intended for illicit use. Grantees are encouraged to work closely with DNDO when developing or enhancing preventative rad/nuc detection (PRND) programs to ensure that programs are efficiently integrated into current and future Federal capabilities, as well as meet certain identified performance requirements. DNDO is conducting both evolutionary (near-term) and transformational (long-term) research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) programs to assess and improve the Nation's capabilities for detection, identification, and reporting of rad/nuc materials. By integrating RDT&E programs with operational support responsibilities, DNDO will ensure technologies are appropriately deployed, with training materials and well developed operational response protocols. Working with Federal, State, local, and tribal partners, DNDO has piloted initial training programs and developed detection alarm protocols that can be customized for specific operational missions."

Fiscal Year 2010 Homeland Security Grant Program Supplemental Resource: Law Enforcement Information Sharing (Leis) Service Guidance
"The Law Enforcement Information Sharing (LEIS) Service is a standards-based data exchange platform designed to aid investigations by allowing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other law enforcement agencies to share pertinent, legally sharable case information rapidly and extensively. The LEIS Service offers investigators a more efficient, automated system for obtaining information and helps to quickly identify non-obvious relationships, patterns and connections between individuals and organizations. The LEIS Service promotes DHS compliance with information exchange technical standards, including the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) standards for justice information, Department of Justice (DOJ) and DHS standards for law enforcement information, and the Federal Intelligence Community (IC) standards for intelligence information (e.g., national or Federal Information Sharing Environment (ISE) Enterprise Architecture Framework [EAF], the ISE's Counter-Terrorism Information Sharing Standards [CTISS], and the NIEM and DOJ Law Enforcement Exchange Service [LEXS])."

Fiscal Year 2010 Homeland Security Grant Program Supplemental Resource: Cyber Security Guidance
"With the pervasiveness of information technology (IT) and cyber networks systems in nearly every aspect of society, effectively securing the Nation's critical infrastructure requires investments in network resiliency as well as cyber infrastructure protection. As all levels of government now rely on cyber networks and assets to provide National security, public safety, and economic prosperity, their operations depend on information systems that are maintained, protected, and secured from exploitation and attack. In recognition of this importance, President Barack Obama has identified the digital infrastructure as a strategic National asset. […]. This Annex outlines parameters for SLTT [State, local, tribal, and territorial] government officials to coordinate preparedness planning efforts to ensure cyber security investments are considered and supported in long term development considerations. Potential grantees should review the guidance provided below prior to submitting proposals and discuss how to apply it to SLTT planning with cyber security and IT leadership (i.e., Chief Information Officer, Chief Information Security Officer, etc.). This due diligence will ensure that grantees amply address their cyber security goals and objectives and assess current activities to bolster the security of state computer network enterprises. "

Fiscal Year 2010 Homeland Security Grant Program Supplemental Resource: Geospatial Guidance
"DHS [Department of Homeland Security] recognizes the important contribution that geospatial information and technology plays in strengthening our Nation's security posture. Federal, State and local organizations have increasingly incorporated geospatial information and technologies as tools for use in emergency management and homeland security applications. Geospatial systems - and the aerial images, critical infrastructure information, and regional land base data they contain - are increasingly viewed as a central tool for decision making and disaster response. Geospatial systems can help emergency and homeland security managers to establish essential context-sensitive relevancy to information technology applications. This enhances public security and emergency preparedness, and contributes to efficient all-hazards response capability. There are a wide variety of file formats, levels of accuracy, and varying stages of metadata completeness across the landscape. Although such incompatibilities are relatively unimportant in the day to day operation of a geographic information system (GIS), when disaster strikes the lack of geospatial interoperability becomes a critical issue. To this end, DHS strongly encourages all grant recipients to create or maintain their geospatial data and resources in an open, interoperable and shareable system. As a specific measure to drive interoperability, DHS has developed the standards-based Homeland Security Geospatial Data Model to provide baseline definition for whatever system grantees may choose to develop."
