I-YQ7 UASI Grant Application Agencics can find additional information on the NRP and catastrophic planning at www.dlis.gqv under "Emergencies and Disasters" or at www,llis.dhs.gov, 2) Implemcnt NIPP; The NIPF is a national risk-based program meant to enhancc 'thc security and mitigate the risk facing the Nation's Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources. The NIPP will assist authorities in determining which critical infrastructure and key resources are crilical at the national ievel and thase which are critical at the State-lcvel, ihereby establishing a baseline understanding of hovv fiunding could be best leveraged to enhance security al the state versus local Icvel, 'I'he Urban Area should review the NtFP to better understand how LJAST funds can be used to protect the state's various critical infrastructures. AgenciGS must work closely wiih the 4hio Homeland Security Division to best understand which sites currentiy mcet the national and state definition a('a Critical infrastructwe aiid Kcy Resource. The Urban Area can find additional information on the N1pP at www.dhs.gov or at www.llis,tihs.zov. 3) Regional Collaboration: Successful regional collaboration allows for a multi- jurisdictional and multidisciplinary approach to building capabilities for all four mission areas, spreAding casis, and sharing risk across geographic areas, The FY07 CJASI program further providcs the opportunity to enhance regional preparedncss efforts: TJrban Areas must cmploy regiona] approaches to overall preparedncss and are encouraged to adopt regional response stnictures whenever appropriate ta mcet the goals identified in the Urban Area Horneland Security Slrategy. As federal HS funds become more competitive, agencies and associatians should be diligently working with their neighboring and regional jurisdictions to better coordinate HS expenditures and planning efforts to avoid duplieative or incansistent investrnents. Jt is rccognized that not every agenCy will manage every scenario and ihus must rely an its sttite and iocal partners, Thus, agencies and associations must detcrmine what levcls afresponse they can reaiistically develap and sustairi Qver the long-term without cantinued reliance an federal funding. '1'hc inient is to tactically build capabilities and lower the cost af sustaining those capabilities. This is termed "capabilities-based" planning and it addresses the three fundarnental questions of the FY07 HSGP: . • How prepared are we? • Haw prepared dr, we need lp be? and . •+ How do we prioritize effarts to ful.fill the capa6ility gaps? ---- --- -To-aceomplish this;-agencies and a5spciations should already be using the Natipnai- Planning Seenarios, Universal "!'ask List, and Target Capabilitics List io revicw their current readiness. Thcn using these tuals as benchmarks, agencies can determine for a given responsc capability what capacity should be sustained at the stale ver5us 1oca1 versus federal ievel. This collaboration should allow agencies lo better focus and prioritize how to 6est use the limited I"Y'07 UASI funds to meet baseline agenoy capabilities and still support other state and local agency efforts. • ln Ohio, the Statc Hpmeland Security Strategy (St•1SS) identifies the goals and objectives needed to address and meet aur state's grioritics.
