Disaster Response and Recovery Programs. The following programs are authorized under Titles IV and V of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act. During some events, state, tribal, and local governments may lack the capability to perform or to contract for eligible emergency work (Public Assistance Categories A and B). In such instances, the state may request that the work be accomplished by a federal agency. FEMA may either perform the work directly or, through a mission assignment (MA), may direct appropriate federal agencies to perform the eligible work. Activities may include planning, buyouts, retrofits, relocations, elevations, minor flood control projects, and vegetative fuels reduction. Successful MMRS Grantees reduce the consequences of a mass casualty incident during the initial period of a response by having augmented existing local operational response systems before the incident occurs. Purpose: TSP funding will be awarded to eligible Subgrantees to implement security improvement measures and policies deemed valuable by DHS as indicated in the Security Action Items publication of June 26, 2008. These items are primarily focused on the purchase and installation or enhancement of equipment and systems related to tractor and trailer tracking systems. Additionally, the TSP will provide funding to develop a system for DHS to monitor, collect, and analyze tracking information; and develop plans to improve the effectiveness of transportation and distribution of supplies and commodities during catastrophic events.
