Continuing Training Grants: Through its Continuing Training Grants (CTG) program, the Department of Homeland Security Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 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, which supports the objective of the National Preparedness System to facilitate an integrated, whole community, risk-informed, capabilities-based approach to preparedness. The FY 2021 CTG program’s purpose is to address specific threats and gaps through the development and delivery of learning solutions and facilitate a national whole community approach to focus on the challenges with the greatest impact on the Nation’s preparedness. FEMA, through CTG recipients, will concentrate on developing training to address national priorities while considering the challenges presented by a pandemic environment. Continuing Training Grants National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium: The Department of Homeland Security Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP), Continuing Training Grants (CTG), National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium (NCPC) provides funding to the eligible applicant to develop and deliver cybersecurity training solutions to address national preparedness gaps, map training to the core capabilities, and ensure training is available and accessible to a nationwide audience. The NCPC addresses the below Presidential Policy Directives through training of State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT) first responders. • Presidential Policy Directive 8: National Preparedness • Presidential Policy Directive 21: Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience The NCPC plays an important role in the National Training and Education System (NTES), which is part of the larger National Preparedness System (the System). The System is designed to build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities and achieve the desired outcomes identified in the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal). The Goal 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.” The System provides a consistent and reliable approach to support decision making, resource allocation, and measure progress toward these outcomes.

This FY 2021 CTG program’s purpose is to address emerging threats and FEMA Community Lifelines through the development and delivery of training and facilitate a national whole community approach to focus on the challenges with the greatest impact on the Nation’s preparedness. FEMA, through FAA COE UAS MSU recipients, will concentrate on developing training to address long-term gaps—including a regional training program for State, local, tribal and territorial (SLTT) responders in using Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for disaster preparedness and response. The CTG program advances three of the strategic goals and objectives contained in the DHS Strategic Plan (FY) 2020-2024to keep Americans safe, secure and resilient: • Prevent terrorism and enhance security; • Safeguard and secure cyberspace; and • Ensure resilience to disasters.
