Rescission of FY 2004 Grant Amounts
"On January 22, Congress passed the $328 billion omnibus appropriations bill for FY2004. The bill was subsequently signed into law as P.L. 108-199. This legislation encompasses seven appropriations bills, including funds for education, agriculture, veterans, transportation, commerce and justice. It also includes an across the board reduction of 0.59% to all other programs, projects, and activities with the exception of Defense and Military Construction funds. Therefore, all FY 2004 State Homeland Security, Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention, Citizen Corps, Urban Area Security Initiative, and Transit System Security grant program award amounts will be amended to reflect this. All other ODP programs (training, technical assistance, exercises, consortium, etc) will also be reduced by the 0.59%. Amended award amounts are included as part of this information bulletin."

Guidance for Developing the Evaluation Plan for the State Homeland Security Strategy and Urban Area Security Strategy
"The evaluation plan included in the state and urban area homeland security strategies should outline the process by which the state will review and analyze progress made toward identified goals and objectives. The review and analysis (R&A) process should compile key management information, track trends that emerge as the strategy is implemented, ensure that implementation is proceeding as it should, and make mid-course adjustments to the strategy as necessary. The evaluation plan is a critical element of the strategy and is tied to its ultimate approval by the Department of Homeland Security. Grantees need to demonstrate that important issues associated with evaluating progress have been contemplated thoroughly and that a plan is in place to make sure that implementation of strategic goals and objectives is tracked from the beginning. Consequently, the evaluation plan should provide details about the membership of key evaluation working groups, the frequency of working group meetings, their use of evaluation tools, and the development of corrective action plans."

Office of Domestic Preparedness Guidelines for Homeland Security: Prevention and Deterrence
"These Guidelines represent, at this stage of development, a set of general activities, objectives, and elements that organizations as well as those in command positions within the organizations, should consider in the development of prevention plans. The Guidelines are divided into the functional categories of Collaboration, Information Sharing, Threat Recognition, Risk Management, and Intervention. Prevention, if it is to be effective, begins before a response is necessary. The tasks and activities in this booklet, however, make it clear that preventing further harm is a necessary aspect of prevention and one that makes prevention and response seamless."

Universal Task List 2.0
"The [Universal Task List] provides a common language and common reference for homeland security professionals at all levels of government and the private sector. It describes what tasks are to be performed in terms common to incident management agencies across the country. The UTL task description does not address how a task is performed; this decision is left to those in charge of prevention or response, as well as the professional communities that set guidelines and training requirements. The UTL does not specify who performs the task either; different jurisdictions will make different decisions about the most efficient way to achieve the desired outcome. When the UTL is fully developed, it will contain common language on conditions (physical, environmental, political) that may affect task performance as well as measures to assess performance. Its primary use is to communicate mission requirements and capabilities."

Domestic Preparedness BWTTX
"This After-Action Report (AAR) was produced with the help, advice, and assistance of Domestic Preparedness Biological Weapons Tabletop Exercise (BWTTX) participants from many Federal, State, and local departments and agencies. The purpose of publishing an AAR is to document effectiveness and overall exercise performance. As such, this report is tangible evidence of our Federal, State, and local Domestic Preparedness Program (DPP) partnership. It serves as a compendium of lessons learned, outlines recommended corrective actions, and provides the basis for planning future exercises. This, along with the Chemical Weapons Tabletop Exercise (CWTTX) and Chemical Weapons Full-Scale Exercise (CWFSE) AARs, will contribute to improving response, responder training, exercise and preparedness testing, and the provision of expert assistance. Exercises serve as 'final accountability' of collective preparedness. Exercise evaluation, such as this report, documents readiness and recommends plans for improvement. The DPP is committed to giving program participants an accurate analysis of the training and exercises. The Domestic Preparedness exercise series is provided under the authority and funding of the FEDERAL PROGRAM. The exercise program includes one chemical and one biological terrorism tabletop and a chemical full-scale exercise. These activities build on and reinforce the training provided to first responders and the medical community by allowing them to test their plans, procedures, and training. Program participants are encouraged to provide input relating to exercise design, conduct, and analysis to the Director, Exercise and Evaluation Division, Office for Domestic Preparedness."
