Directive 262–3 designates ENS as the
Agency’s solution for all notification

well as emergency response personnel.
In accordance with Executive Order
12656, Presidential Policy Directive 40,
and Federal Continuity Directive-1, all
DHS organizational components must
have in place a viable Continuity of
Operations Planning capability and plan
that ensures the performance of their
essential functions during any
emergency or situation that could
disrupt normal operations. An effective
ENS solution is a critical part of this
plan.

regulations in 44 CFR 206.437 require
development and updates to the
Administrative Plan by Applicants or
Recipients as a condition of receiving
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
(HMGP) funding under section 404 of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988
(Pub. L. 93–288, as amended) (42 U.S.C.
5170c). Applicants or Recipients can be
any State of the United States, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa,
the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, or the government of a
Federally-recognized Tribe that chooses
to act as an Applicant or Recipient.
The regulation at 44 CFR 206.437
requires a State to have a FEMAapproved Administrative Plan to receive
HMGP funding. At its minimum, the
Administrative Plan will include the
designated State agency or Indian Tribal
government that will act as the
Recipient, identify the State Hazard
Mitigation Officer or Tribal Hazard
Mitigation Officer, identify staffing
requirements, and establish a guide for
implementation activities and
procedures to account for non-Federal
cost sharing. Additional information
requirements are guided by the type of
mitigation activities being pursued.
The State, territorial, or Tribal
government must establish procedures
to guide the administration of the
HMGP in the Administrative Plan, as
outlined in the listed activities below.
FEMA will review the information
provided to ensure proper
documentation of each activity.
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) adopted in its entirety
the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
(2 CFR part 200) on December 26, 2014.
This rule eliminates overlapping and
duplicative requirements for
stakeholders, including States,
territories and Indian Tribal
governments, by using general terms
such as ‘‘recipient’’ or ‘‘pass-through
entity.’’ FEMA is also avoiding
unnecessary duplication, overlap and

the demand for maintenance of

Plan for the Hazard Mitigation Grant
Program (HMGP) is a procedural guide

Tribal government will administer the
