Through the Continuing Training Grants (CTG) program, the Department of Homeland Security 2023 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP) plays an important role in the National Preparedness System. The CTG program supports building, sustaining, and delivering core capabilities through the development and delivery of training to achieve the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal), which is “a secure and resilient nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk”.
Specifically, the CTG program provides funding for eligible applicants to support and target training solutions for state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners, supporting the objective of the National Preparedness System to facilitate an integrated, whole community, risk-informed, capabilities-based approach to preparedness.
The CTG program supports multiple goals and objectives of the 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan, particularly Goal 3: Promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation and Objective 3.1 to Strengthen the emergency management workforce.
Objectives
- Address Capability Gaps
- States and territories provide annual data on their proficiency across 32 core capabilities through the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, Stakeholder Preparedness Reviews, exercise and real world after-action reports, and other preparedness data. This data feeds into the National Preparedness Report, which summarizes progress made, and challenges that remain, in building and sustaining the capabilities needed to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats, hazards, and incidents that pose the greatest risk to the nation. This annual report offers all levels of government, tribes, and the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public practical insights into preparedness that support decisions about program priorities, resource allocation, and actions that can create more resilient communities.
- FEMA recognizes the importance of education and training in improving communities’ abilities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from all hazards. Given the unique challenges faced by rural, remote communities and Tribal Nations, FEMA supports the development and delivery of training curriculum to specifically support these communities and help them prepare for and respond to all types of disasters to include extreme weather events.
