F. National Incident Management System(NIMS)Compliance
HSPD-5,"Management of Domestic incidents,"mandated the creation of NIMS and the National Response Plan(NRP).
NIMS provides a consistent framework for entities at all jurisdictional levels to work together to manage domestic
incidents,regardless of cause,size,or complexity.To promote interoperability 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
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 2004 and can be found at
www.fema.gov/pdf/emereency/nims/neo fs.pdf.To integrate nonprofit organizations into the broader national
preparedness effort,DHS encourages grantees to consider pursuing these recommended activities.
Additionally,nongovemmental 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 must complete training programs consistent with the NIMS National Standard Curriculum Development Guide.
Minimum training includes IS-700 NIMS:An Introduction.In addition,IS-800.a NRP:An Introduction,Incident
24
Command System(ICS-100),Incident Command System(ICS-200),Intermediate Incident Command System(G-300),and
Advanced Incident Command System(G-400)are also recommended.For additional guidance on NIMS training,please
refer to http://www.fema.gov/emergency/nims/nims trainine.shtm.
Additional information about NIMS implementation and resources for achieving compliance are available through the
NIMS Integration Center(NIC),at http://www.fema.eov/emergencv/nims/.

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
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 to assess a recipient agency's compliance with applicable state and federal
guidelines.
25
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.
Frequency of annual monitoring activity:
Each year the FDEM will conduct monitoring for up to 50%of their sub-grantees. It is important to note that although a given grant has
been closed,it is still subject to either desk or on-site monitoring for a five year period following closure.
Areas that will be examined include:
Management and administrative procedures;
Grant folder maintenance;
Equipment accountability and sub-hand receipt procedures;
Program for obsolescence;
Status of equipment purchases;
Status of training for purchased equipment;
Status and number of response trainings conducted to include number trained;
Status and number of exercises;
Status of planning activity;
Anticipated projected completion:
Difficulties encountered in completing projects;
Agency NIMS/ICS compliance documentation;
Equal Employment Opportunity(EEO Status);
Procurement Policy
FDEM may request additional monitoring/information if the activity,or lack thereof,generates questions from the region,the sponsoring
agency or FDEM leadership. The method of gathering this information will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Desk monitoring is an on-going process. Recipients will be required to participate in desk top monitoring on an annual basis and as
determined by the FDEM. This contact will provide an opportunity to identify the need for technical assistance(TA)and/or a site visit if
the FDEM 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 mill 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 TA will be referred to the
FDEM for assistance. Examples of TA include but are not limited to:
4 Equipment selection or available vendors
41.Eligibility of items or services
4-Coordination and partnership with other agencies within or outside the region or discipline
26
,.Record Keeping
4-Reporting Requirements
i Documentation in support of a Request for Reimbursement
On-Site Monitoring will be conducted by the FDEM or designated personnel. On-site Monitoring visits will be scheduled in advance
with the recipient agency POC designated in the grant agreement.
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.
On-site Monitoring Protocol
On-site Monitoring 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 financial and programmatic on-site monitoring
checklist to assist in the completion of all required tasks.
Site Visit Preparation
A letter will be sent to the recipient agency Point of Contact(POC)outlining the date,time and purpose of the site visit before the
planned arrival date.
The appointment should be confirmed with the grantee in writing(email is acceptable)and documented in the grantee folder.
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.
On-Site Monitoring 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.
27
•
Other programmatic issues can be discussed at this time,such as missing quarterly reports,payment voucher/reimbursement,equipment,
questions,etc.
•
Post Monitoring Visit
FDEM personnel will review the on-site monitoring review worksheets and backup documentation as a team and discuss the events of
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 FDEM. -
Noncompliance on behalf of sub-grantees is resolved by management under the terms of the Sub.grant Agreement.
The On-Site Monitoring Worksheets,the monitoring report and all back up documentation will then be included in the grantee's file.
