F. Overtime and Backfill Guidance
Overtime: Expenses incurred by those personnel who, as a result of G& T -approved
activities, are performing over and above their normal, scheduled work hours or work
week.
Backfill (also called Overtime as Backfill): Expenses incurred by those personnel who
are working over and above their normal, scheduled work hours, or work week, in order
to perform the duties of other personnel who are temporarily assigned to G&T-approved
activities outside their core responsibilities. The OJP OC does not distinguish between
Overtime and Overtime as Backfill - they are both viewed as overtime regardless of
whether the individual has performed more hours in their normally assigned place of duty
or if the overtime accrued as a result of being re-assigned to a different place of duty.
Overtime and backfill do not result in an increase of full-time employees (FTEs).
II. National Preparedness Initiatives
Urban Areas are strongly encouraged to pay close attention to the language in these sections in
order to stay abreast of initiatives being highlighted by DHS and to comply with associated
program requirements.
A. National Incident Management System (NIMS)
NIMS provides a consistent nationwide approach for federal, state, territorial, tribal, and
local governments to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, prevent,
respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size or complexity.
Since FY 2007 is a critical year for initial NIMS adoption, the Recipient should start now
by prioritizing FY 2007 preparedness assistance (in accordance with the eligibility and
allowable uses of the grant) to facilitate its implementation.
1. Minimum FY 2007 NIMS Compliance Requirements
. Incorporating NIMS into existing training programs and exercises;
. Completion of the NIMCAST tool
. Ensuring that federal preparedness funding supports NIMS implementation
(in accordance with the eligibility and allowable uses of the grants);
. Incorporating NIMS into emergency operations planning;
. Promotion of mutual aid agreements; and,
. Institutionalizing the use of the Incident Command System (ICS).
2. Local units of government should support NIMS implementation by:
. Having relevant personnel complete the NIMS Awareness Course:
These independent study courses are available on-line and will take between
forty-five minutes to three hours to complete. The course is available on the
Emergency Management Institute web page at: http://traininq.fema.qov
. Formally recognizing NIMS and adopting NIMS principles and policies.
The NIC will provide sample language and templates to assist in formally
adopting NIMS through legislative and/or executive/administrative means.
. Establish a NIMS baseline by determining which NIMS requirements are
already satisfied. The NIC is developing a web-based self-assessment
system, the NIMS Capability Assessment Support Tool (NIMCAST) to
evaluate their incident response and management capabilities. The NIC is
currently piloting the NIMCAST with a limited number of states. Upon
completion of the pilot, the NIC will provide all potential future users with
voluntary access to the system.
31
3. FY 2007 Requirements
In order for the State to receive FY 2007 preparedness funding, the compliance
requirements described above must be met. Additional information about NIMS
compliance and resources for achieving compliance will be forthcoming from the
NIC. The NIC web page, http://www.fema.Qov/nims, will be updated regularly
with NIMS information and implementation guidance.
Note: All FY 2007 Homeland Security Grant Program Grant Guidance can be
found at http://www.oip.usdoLQov/odp/docs/fv2007hsQP.pdf
B. National Preparedness System (NPSI
The NPS provides a tool to assist jurisdictions, agencies, and organizations at all levels
to plan for, assess, and track capabilities in a shared environment. It integrates various
efforts to provide the comprehensive picture of preparedness and progress toward
achieving the Goal. Recipients are responsible for/and required to report data into this
developing system.
C. Monitorina:
Florida Division of Emergency Management
US Department of Homeland Security Grants Program
Grant Monitoring Process
Florida has enhanced the state and local capability and capacity to prevent, prepare and respond
to terrorist threats since 1999 through various funding sources including federal grant funds. As
the steward of the State Homeland Security Grant Program funds, projects and equipment the
Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) has a responsibility to track and monitor the
status of the grant activity and items purchased.
The monitoring process detailed in this document is designed to assess a recipient agency's
compliance with applicable state and federal guidelines. The FDEM is responsible for monitoring
the programmatic and capability portion of the grant to include equipment procurement and
compliance with applicable SHSGP grant guidance.
Monitoring is accomplished utilizing various methods including desk monitoring and site visits.
There are two primary areas reviewed during monitoring activities - financial and
programmatic/capability. Financial monitoring is the review of records associated with the
purchase and disposition of property, projects and contracts. Capability review is the observation
of equipment purchased, protocols and other associated records. Various levels of financial and
programmatic review may be accomplished during this process.
Desk monitoring is defined as the review of projects, financial activity and technical assistance
between the program office and the applicant via e-mail and telephone. Site visits are defined as
actual visits to the recipient agency's location by a team or members of the FDEM or their
designee, to actually observe records, procedures and equipment.
Freauency of annual monitorina activity:
Each year the FDEM will identify up to 50% of sub grantees for site visit monitoring.
Examples of areas that may be examined include:
Status of equipment purchases
Status of training for purchased equipment
Status and number of response trainings conducted to include number trained
32
Status and number of exercises
Status of planning activity
Anticipated projected completion
Specific difficulties completing the project.
Agency NIMS compliance documentation
In certain circumstances, the FDEM may be requested to provide additional
monitoring/information if the activity, or lack there of, on the part of the specific recipient has
generated questions from the region, the sponsoring state agency or the FDEM leadership. The
method of gathering this information will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Desk monitoring is an on-going process. Agency recipients will be required to participate in desk
top monitoring on an annual basis and as determined by the SAA. The agency recipients will
compete and submit the desk top monitoring within 30 calendar days of receipt. This contact will
provide an opportunity to identify the need for technical assistance (T A) and/or a site visit if the
SAA determines that a recipient is having difficulty completing their project.
As difficulties/deficiencies are identified, the respective region or sponsoring agency will be
notified by the program office via email. Information will include the grant recipient agency name,
year and project description and the nature of the issue in question. Many of the issues that arise
may be resolved at the regional or sponsoring agency level. Issues that require further T A will be
referred to the FDEM for assistance. Examples of TA include but are not limited to:
l> Equipment selection or available vendors
l> Eligibility of items or services
l> Coordination and partnership with other agencies within or outside the region or
discipline.
Site Visits
Site visits will be conducted by the FDEM or their designated personnel. Site visits will be
scheduled in advanced with the recipient agency POC designated in the grant agreement.
Monitoring questionnaires will be provided in advance of the visit
The FDEM will also conduct coordinated financial and grant file monitoring. These monitoring
visits will be coordinated with the capability review visits. Subject matter experts from other
agencies within the region or state may be called upon to assist in the form of a peer review as
needed.
All findings related to the capability review will be documented and maintained within the FDEM.
Site Visit Protocol
The following outlines the monitoring protocol for the FDEM:
The site visits will begin with those grantees that are currently spending or have completed
spending for that federal fiscal year (FFY). Site visits may be combined when geographically
convenient. There is a site visit checklist to assist in the completion of all required tasks.
Site Visit PreDaration
A letter will be sent to recipient agency POC stating the purpose of the site visit and sent at least
30 calendar days before the planned arrival date. FDEM personnel will call within the next 10
calendar days to schedule an appointment to review the grantee's program.
The physical location of any equipment located at an alternate site should be confirmed with a
representative from that location and the address should be documented in the grantee folder
before the site visit.
33
, ' ,
The appointment should be confirmed with the grantee in writing (email is acceptable) and
documented in the grantee folder.
Any personnel from the FDEM attending the site visit will review the grantee's corresponding
folder(s) before the visit. Prior to the visit, individual roles will be identified for the site visit.
Copies of applicable documents will be made and distributed to the site visit team at a minimum
of five (5) calendar days before the visit. A reminder e-mail should be sent to all team members
and the recipient pac one business day in advance of the site visit.
Site Visit
Once FDEM personnel have arrived at the site, an orientation conference will be conducted.
During this time, the purpose of the site visit and the items FDEM intends to examine will be
identified. If financial monitoring visit will be conducted, they will then explain their objectives and
will proceed to perform the financial review.
FDEM personnel will review all files and supporting documentation. Once the supporting
documentation has been reviewed, a tour/visual/spot inspection of equipment will be conducted.
Each item should be visually inspected whenever possible. Bigger items (computers, response
vehicles, etc.) should have an asset decal (information/serial number) placed in a prominent
location on each piece of equipment as per recipient agency requirements. The serial number
should correspond with the appropriate receipt to confirm purchase. Photographs should be taken
of the equipment (large capitol expenditures in excess of $1,000. per item).
If an item is not available (being used during time of the site visit), the appropriate documentation
must be provided to account for that particular piece of equipment. Once the tour/visual/spot
inspection of equipment has been completed, the FDEM personnel will then conduct an exit
conference with the grantee to review the findings.
Other programmatic issues can be discussed at this time, such as missing quarterly reports,
payment voucher/reimbursement, equipment, questions, etc.
Post Site Visit
FDEM personnel will review the site visit worksheet as a team and receive notes from the
Financial Review Team, if applicable.
Within 30 calendar days of the site visit, a monitoring report will be generated and sent to the
grantee explaining any issues and corrective actions required or recommendations. The grantee
will submit a Corrective Action Plan within a timeframe as determined by the SAA. The Site Visit
Worksheet, report and photographs will then be included in the grantee's file along with any
documents distributed at the site visit by the grantee.
