incidents,regardless of cause,size,or complexity.To promote interoperabihty and compatibility among Federal,State,
local,and tribal capabilities.NIMS includes a core set of guidelines,standards,and protocols for command and
management.preparedness,resource management,communications and information management,supporting
22
technologies,and management and maintenance of NIMS.The NRP,using the template established by NIMS.is an all-
discipline,all-hazards plan that provides the structure and mechanisms to coordinate operations for evolving or potential
Incidents of National Significance,which are major events that"require a coordinated and effective response by an
appropriate combination of Federal.State,local,tribal,private sector,and nongovernmental entities."
The NIMS Integration Center(NIC)recommends 38 NIMS Compliance Objectives for nongovernmental organizations
that support NIMS implementation.These activities closely parallel the implementation activities that have been required
of State,territorial,tribal,and local governments since 2(104 and can be found at
wwwiema.govibelf/emergency/nims/nvo fs.pdf.To integrate nonprofit organizations into the broader national
preparedness effort,DHS encourages grantees to consider pursuing these recommended activities.
Additionally,nongovernmental organizations grantees and sub-grantees will be required to meet certain NIMS compliance
requirements.This includes all emergency preparedness,response,and/or security personnel in the organization
participating in the development,implementation.and/or operation of resources and/or activities awarded through this

Grant Monitoring Process
Florida has enhanced state and local capability and capacity to prevent,prepare and respond to terrorist threats since 1999 through
various funding sources including federal grant funds. The Florida Division of Emergency Management(FDEM)has a responsibility to
23
track and monitor the status of grant activity and items purchased to ensure compliance with applicable SHSGP grant guidance and
statutory regulations. The monitoring process is designed in assess a recipient agency's compliance with applicable state and federal
guidelines.
Monitoring is accomplished utilizing various methods including desk monitoring and on-site visits. There are two primary areas
reviewed during monitoring activities-financial and programmatic monitoring. Financial monitoring is the review of records associated
with the purchase and disposition of property.projects and contracts. Programmatic monitoring 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 the review of projects.financial activity and technical assistance between FDEM and the applicant via e-mail and
telephone. On-Site Monitoring are actual visits to the recipient agencies by a Division representative who examines records,procedures
and equipment.

the on-site monitoring.
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.Should no issues or findings be identified,a monitoring report to that effect will be
generated and sent to the grantee. The grantee will submit a Corrective Action Plan within a timeframe as determined by the PDEM.
