Coming as a likely welcome relief for many Homeland Security Grant Program recipients currently busy with Covid-19 response, yesterday FEMA released updated reporting requirements for the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)/Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR). The new requirements drop the core capabilities needing evaluation in the SPR from 31 down to 15. Recipients will still need to complete the supplemental planning questions (requested in lieu of the planning core capability SPR evaluation); the additional functional gap areas worksheet for all 32 core capabilities; the CPG 101 assessment; and the UAWG assessment; and the THIRA/SPR post assessment.
The image below details the steps of the THIRA/SPR required for each of the still required core capabilities. See here for the full modified reporting requirements.
