"The Cooperating Technical Partners Program (CTP Program) exists to strengthen and increase the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through fostering strong Federal, State, Tribal, regional and local partnerships for the purposes of reducing flood losses and promoting community resiliency. The CTP Program may provide federal assistance, through a grant or cooperative agreement, to an eligible Cooperating Technical Partner (herein referred to as ¿CTP¿, ¿partner¿ or ¿grantee¿) to perform various projects and activities that stimulate and support the ability of NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and NFIP-participating communities (as defined in 44 CFR Part 59.1) to continue their ongoing regulatory NFIP responsibilities as well as support the ability of States, communities and the public and private sector to mitigate flood risk.The CTP Program seeks to enhance the existing capabilities of CTPs to increase local involvement in, and ownership of, the development and maintenance of flood risk data and products, such as the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other risk related products, as well as other support to advance the goals and objectives of the Risk Mapping Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program. Partnerships developed through FEMA¿s CTP Program are in the best interest of State and local communities, the NFIP and the public. CTPs may be able to perform activities related to program management, technical risk analysis and mapping, and communication of flood risk hazard data and information. Only qualified partners of the CTP Program are eligible for federal assistance awards through the CTP Program. Recipients must:¿ be a CTP (i.e., have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA HQ or a FEMA Regional Office);¿ either be or represent a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good-standing, or a FEMA-approved non-profit agency whose primary mission supports the goals and objectives of the NFIP;¿ have existing non-Federally funded processes and/or systems in place to support the collection, development, evaluation, dissemination and communication of flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping;¿ have the capability to perform funded activities; demonstrate the ability to achieve the CTP Program performance metrics and provide timely and accurate reports to FEMA documenting performance and achievements; and¿ when applicable, agree to perform work in the Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and update the activities within the MIP every 30 days in the Studies Workflow (and more frequently within the Revisions Workflow).CTPs need to work with FEMA in advance of the application to understand FEMA program priorities, objectives and measures, and to identify specific tasks to undertake. In support of program objectives, FEMA may provide technical assistance, training, and/or data to a CTP to enhance the activities within the project categories. Any funds FEMA provides through a grant or cooperative agreement to complete project activities are in addition to the leveraged resources and data which may be provided by the CTP to complete the tasks agreed upon. When awarded a grant or cooperative agreement through the CTP Program in support of program objectives and to advance program measures, the CTP must comply with the requirements outlined in the announcement, the terms and conditions of the award, as well as the Partnership Agreement and the associated Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement approved by FEMA. These templates may be obtained from your granting organization, either the FEMA Region or FEMA Headquarters."

The Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (HSPTAP) is a capabilities-based program that is structured to build and sustain State and local capacity in preparedness activities. Under this vision, HSPTAP supports the efforts of State and local homeland security personnel to address the full spectrum of mission areas, national priorities, and target capabilities outlined in the National Preparedness Guidelines. As capability gaps are identified, the HSPTAP addresses those needs and builds priority capabilities in the most critical areas. The HSPTAP is designed to be an agile program that addresses present day areas of greatest State and local need; is committed to transferring and institutionalizing knowledge at the State and local level; provides a dynamic program that is responsive to national priorities; is performance based; and that effectively leverages limited resources. HSPTAP provides direct assistance to State, regional, local, and Tribal jurisdictions, as well as other homeland security organizations, to improve their ability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from major events, including threats or acts of terrorism. HSPTAP is driven by several core tenets: Grantee assistance must support the National Preparedness Guidelines, National Priorities, and national strategies and doctrine related to homeland security; Grantee assistance must be flexible and adaptable to fully address current national trends or risks and the present day needs of homeland security personnel; Grantee must provide for or incorporate involvement of States, regions, Urban Areas, local and Tribal jurisdictions, as well as private interests with a role in homeland security.A. Governors Homeland Security Advisory Council (GHSAC),In July of 2006, The National Governors Association (NGA) , in consult with DHS, formally organized The Governors Homeland Security Advisory Council (GHSAC) from one of its existing work groups, The Center for Best Practices (NGA Center), as the Governors Homeland Security Advisors Council to provide a forum for homeland security officials from each state and territory to analyze and discuss federal policies, share best practices, and provide expert advice and counsel to the nations governors and the NGA on the impact of federal policy on the states. Thereby, in performing such functions, GHSAC is performing a highly unique and important function for DHS. NGA Centers Homeland Security and Technology Division directly supports the activities of the Council and, during the past several years, also has on behalf of the GHSAC conducted research and published issue briefs, governors guides, fact sheets and other documents on a number of salient policy issues, including: intelligence sharing; state homeland security organization, structures and governance; communications interoperability; regional planning and coordination; critical infrastructure protection; the integration of public health into homeland security plans and procedures; pandemic influenza preparedness, and the interpretation and implementation of homeland security grant funding initiatives. Also on behalf of GHSAC, NGA Center provides direct technical assistance in a variety of policy areas to individual Governors offices and serve on a number of national policy committees, including the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative Federal Advisory Committee, the FEMA Administrators Task Force on NIMS Credentialing, and the Emergency Management Accreditation Program Commission. As such, all of functions served by GHSAC and its administrative and facilitative body, NGS Center, are unique and vital to DHS preparedness efforts. Funding Opportunity Number: DHS-09-NPD-007-2107.
