December 29, 2011 December 29, 2011 - Version 1.1 Revision History Date Revised Page Numbers /Sections Revised By 1 December 29, 2011- Version 1.1 Georgia Citizen Corps Programs This year as we mark the tenth anniversary of the September 11, attacks, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency/ Homeland Security (GEMA/HS) is unveiling its new strategy to not only assist local emergency management agencies to prepare their citizens for disasters, but increase the capacity of local emergency management programs to support response and recovery operations through volunteers. Overarching Priorities for 2011 GEMA/HS will continue to provide support for existing programs, but will place a special emphasis on jurisdictions that currently do not have existing or active Citizen Corps programs. Our goal is to increase active programs by 10% across the state by the end of 2012 and to assist local programs to harness the power of volunteers to strengthen local capacity in response and recovery in other areas. By providing training and monetary support to local jurisdictions, who cannot receive funding from other sources to begin, grow or maintain existing programs already under Citizen Corps such as Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), Volunteers in Police Services (VIPS), USA Neighborhood Watch and Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), GEMA hopes locals by and through their county level partnerships, will develop pools of volunteers participating in the Citizen Corps programs and provide them with the training and opportunities to support local emergency management. Introduction and Purpose GEMA/HS has prepared this document to provide further clarification of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and GEMA/HS requirements and guidelines regarding the Citizen Corps programs. This document also provides procedures and processes regarding funding and reimbursement of the Citizen Corps programs. Grant guidance is issued annually by the DHS. As such, these guidelines may change, and will be revised accordingly. Scope This document will apply to any eligible agency requesting HSGP funds to be used toward Citizen Corps Programs. Unless otherwise specified, these guidelines apply to funding from fiscal year 2008 and on. Program Mission The Citizen Corps Mission is "to harness the power of every individual through education, training, and volunteer service to make communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to the threats of terrorism, crime, public health issues, and disasters of all kinds. 2 December 29, 2011- Version 1.1 Citizen Corps Programs GEMA/HS supports the following Citizen Corps Programs: • Neighborhood Watch/USAonWatch incorporates terrorism awareness education into its existing crime prevention mission. • Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) works to enhance the capacity of state and local law enforcement to utilize volunteers. Provides training for volunteers to perform administrative and non - intervention policing activities to free up law enforcement for frontline duties. • Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates and trains citizens in basic disaster response skills. • Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Program helps medical, public health, and other volunteers offer their expertise. • Fire Corps promotes the use of citizen advocates to provide support to fire and rescue departments Close Out of Previous Grants In order to adhere to State and Federal accounting requirements, all previously awarded Citizen Corps Grants administered in Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 and FY 2008 but have not been obligated by local sub - grantees and or submitted for reimbursement, will be rescinded effective December 31, 2011. Jurisdictions having open grants for FY 2007 and 2008 will be notified when this occurs. Subsequently, applicants who may have unobligated funds from FY 2009 and 2010 Citizen Corps Grants will be required to use up outstanding balances during calendar year 2012. FY 2011 Citizen Corps Grant Applications GEMA/HS posted the FY2011 Grant applications on the GEMA/HS- Citizen Corps webpage beginning September 14, 2011 and the application period remained open until November 15, 2011.
