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.

Natural hazards exist everywhere. Throughout its history, the United States (US) has experienced floods, wildfires, winter storms, landslides, windstorms, and earthquakes. But of all of these natural disasters, earthquakes pose one of the greatest threats to lives, property, and economy, not only to communities within the western and central US, but indirectly to the Nation as a whole. The reduction of risk caused by earthquakes is the priority of this Funding Opportunity. Funding Opportunity Number: DHS-12-MT-082-010-01. Assistance Listing: 97.082. Funding Instrument: CA.

State Homeland Security Program - Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement Projects (HSGP-BC) - Federal Fiscal Year 2026 is sponsored by Office of the Governor, State of Texas. The purpose of this announcement is to solicit applications for projects that support state and local efforts to prevent terrorism and targeted violence and prepare for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of Texas citizens. The Office of the Governor (OOG), Public Safety Office (PSO) provides funding to implement investments that build, sustain, and deliver the 32 core capabilities essential to achieving a secure and resilient state. Funding under this announcement will be awarded on a competitive basis for projects supporting the FEMA designated National Priority Area for Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement. This funding supports state, tribal and local preparedness activities that address national and state-priority preparedness gaps across selected core capabilities where a nexus to terrorism exists. All investments must be consistent with capability targets set during the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process, and gaps identified in the Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR). The State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) is intended to support investments that improve the ability of jurisdictions to: Prevent a threatened or actual act of terrorism; Protect its citizens, residents, visitors, and assets against the greatest threats and hazards; Mitigate the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of future catastrophic events; Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftermath of a catastrophic incident; and/or Recover through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening, accessibility and revitalization of infrastructure, housing, and a sustainable economy, as well as the health, social, cultural, historic, and environmental fabric of communities affected by a catastrophic incident. Many activities which support the achievement of target capabilities related to terrorism preparedness may simultaneously support enhanced preparedness for other hazards unrelated to acts of terrorism. However, all SHSP projects must assist grantees in achieving target capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism.
