NOFO Language
PHEP funding will ensure recipients continue to develop and sustain effective public health emergency management and response capability according to standards described in the Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Capabilities: National Standards for State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Public Health . These standards provide a framework to ensure that recipients, based on the PHEP logic model, apply findings from their jurisdictional risk assessments, capability self-assessments, and after-action reports to inform their strategic priorities and direct jurisdictional preparedness investments.
Interpretation
While NG911 is not specifically mentioned, recipients should consider integrating NG911 strategic planning and implementation into emergency operations coordination and information sharing systems.
