Background/Executive Summary: On October 28,2024,the Girl Scouts of Western Washington made application to place the Camp Robbinswold property on the Mason County Historic Register.While there are three parcels that make up the whole property, and numerous structures on said parcels,the application identifies the significance of four contributing elements: the Rotunda(built in 1941),the Dining Hall(built in 1940),the Kathy Husband Staff House(built in the early 1940's), and the Honeymoon Shack(built in the mid 1920's). During a public hearing held during the Mason County Historic Preservation Commission's regular meeting on November 14,2024,the application was reviewed for significance. The Historic Preservation Commission ultimately found that the property meets the historic significance criteria# 1,2,4, and 5 of Mason County Code 17.40.050(a). The threshold for placement on the Mason County Historic Register is to meet at least two significance criteria,which this property meets. MCC 17.40.050(b)(4) states: "If the [Historic Preservation] commission finds that the nominated property is eligible for the Mason County historic register,the [Historic Preservation] commission shall make a recommendation to the Mason County board of commissioners that the property be listed in the Mason County local register with the owner's consent." It is the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission that the Camp Robbinswold property be listed on the Mason County Historic Register.

Helena Robbins, who grew up a self-described tomboy in Minnesota, moved with her family to Seattle in 1926 in order for her husband, Harry M. Robbins, to develop the Hood Canal area once owned by his father. In 1928, upon discovering that there were Girl Scout troops in the Seattle area, but no sanctioned council, she took it upon herself to rally support for a local council while simultaneously arranging with her husband's company, the Hama Hama Logging Company, to use part of their Hood Canal waterfront for the Seattle Girl Scouts first organized resident camp. In 1935 the council purchased the first 538 acres, creating a space for girls to practice their outdoor skills, commune with nature, and learn more about themselves and what they can accomplish. They began creating spaces for Girl Scouts to camp, areas carved out of the woods to set up tents and temporary shelters. When it became clear that this piece of Northwest paradise was to become more than a temporary location, the newly formed Girl Scout Council began to solicit for donations for a permanent dining hall. The community heeded the call, raising the money to create, in Mason County, along the shores of Hood Canal, a place that girls could return to year after year to learn, laugh, create, relax, sing and make memories and friendships, all vital part of Girl Scout traditions alive at Camp Robbinswold to this day. Embodies the distinctive architectural characteristics of a type, period,style, or method of design or construction,or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. There is a core area of Camp Robbinswold we feel worthy of historic designation on the property. This is the area of permanent structures, three of which are still residing in their original locations, consisting of four buildings of historic significance from which the rest of the camp grew outward, and are still integral to the daily flow of camp life. These legacy buildings are of different styles, but all very much in keeping with northwest architecture using local building materials such as cedar shakes and large timbers from the Mason County area, and all still in their original locations along the shores of Hood Canal. First is the 'Rotunda' This octagonal structure with a steep roof pitch was built in 1941 in a style referred to as 'National Park Service Rustic; designed by the architectural firm Lytel and Shorett. It is characterized by large timber supports, an impressive and large river stone fireplace, and a unique shake roof, utilizing 32"shake boards, all of which encompass a completely open floor plan used for outdoor cooking, dancing and community gatherings of up to 140 people. The impressive stone fireplace and chimney built by a mason well known on the Olympic Peninsula, Henry Ruben Allen, a member of the Skokomish tribe. Allen was a mason, artist and carver who lived along the Skokomish River. The second building is the Dining Hall. Built in 1940 and modeled after a Swiss chalet, designed by the architectural firm Lytel and Shorett. This Seattle firm was active from the 1930s until 1942 and also supervised construction of the dining hall. This structure is reminiscent of many northwest, all-wood post and beam structures with large-beamed trusses made to appear hand hewn, supporting a steep pitched roof identical to that of the adjacent Rotunda. Mr. W. 0. Hamilton and Mr. Glen Andrews split the shakes for the roof and cut the hand-hewn timbers for beams inside the building. The rustic superstructure and roof create an impressive ceiling for the open dining area from which you can look up and see the individual cedar shakes of the roof, highlighted with a large stone fireplace. Other unique features of this room are the natural light provided by several dormers and a fully windowed pop-out in the dining hall. The exterior is finished with horizontal wood siding. The specifications for the building of the dining hall called for'A//lumber for finish carpentry shall be made from good, sound, old growth, well-seasoned stock and kind. Lumber for finish carpentry shall be Douglas fir. Mandatory first-class job of exterior finish carpentry."An exterior porch section is highlighted by a wood railing and ornate top rail. The third building is the 'Kathy Husband'Staff House. This structure was also completed in the early 1940's in a style similar to the lodge building with a shake board roof and horizontal exterior cedar siding. Its original use was as a caretaker's cabin, and more recently as housing for seasonal staff. While some significant changes were made to this building over the years, including the removal of the fireplace and chimney, this building is one of the three core building built specifically for the purpose of a Girl Scout Camp. The fourth building is lovingly referred to as the Honeymoon Shack. This is a log cabin built it the mid- 1920's to accommodate the Harry Robbins family while he oversaw Hama Hama Lumber Company operations.A builder was hired to erect this Adirondack style shelter which originally sat on the beach above the high tide line. The Robbins family lived in Minnesota at the time and would use this cabin in the summer months, taking a train to Seattle and driving to the property for extended summer stays. Over the years this building has been used for a variety of purposes including many years as summer lodging for camp counselors and for storage. By 1989 the structure had fallen into serious disrepair with the back wall and the roof needing to be replaced. A group of teenage campers spent two weeks dismantling the log building, piece by numbered piece, pouring a footing, replacing the back wall with logs from the property, reassembling the three original log walls, and hand-splitting shakes to complete the roof. Exemplifies or reflects special elements of the Mason County's cultural,special,economic, political, aesthetic,engineering,or architectural history. Camp Robbinswold sits upon land that exemplifies both Washington State and Mason County history. Nestled along the shores of Hood Canal, the land was initially recognized for its timber. The Hama Hama Timber company logged the land, changing forever the makeup of the property. As the timber value diminished Helena Robbins recognized that the true value of the land was what it could bring to generations of young girls throughout Washington. Countless adults consider Camp Robbinswold to be an integral part of their youth, a spot where they learned to sail or cook over afire, where they sang songs and made lifelong friendships and memories. Generations of girls and women have passed through this land. Along the shores of Hood Canal they learned to love the water, learned to love the land, and importantly learned from it, and then went on to create their lives, becoming artists, scientists, successful entrepreneurs, politicians and so much more. Significance Summary When Helena Robbins moved with her family to Seattle in 1926 she didn't realize what that move would create. She set in motion a Girl Scout council coming up on its 1001h anniversary. She began a camping tradition that allowed young women to connect to the land at a point in time where women were expected to stay close to home. In creating the first organized resident camp in Washington for young women she ensured that they had the space and support to set up tents and was fundamental in obtaining the support needed for creating permanent structures that allow for spaces where girls can practice life skills. Countless adults consider Camp Robbinswold to be an integral part of their youth, a spot where they learned to sail or cook over afire, where they took on new challenges and practiced resiliency, where they sang songs and made lifelong friendships and memories. Generations of girls and women have passed through this land. For over eighty years women and girls have loved these buildings that have served as residences, classrooms, laboratories, dining halls, choir rooms and meeting places for lifelong learning. 9 / _i� 1 fay'. �' �• � ✓ 1 �T F ��• � I � _ '-� / � �(`` �_���tt i-_- • _ \DiYiY�Z�irLCL�—\ �� .-.�r �--_—�IIY T'•,<'' .

NOV 14 2024 Skokomish Grange #379 The winter of 2022, our community grange hall suffered enough damage that Mason County Building Department placed a red tag on the building, deeming it un-usable. After a couple years of work and some fund raising, we are almost to the point where Mason County Building Department will allow us to reopen. Just a few more repairs are needed. Earlier this year the Mason County Historical Society was gracious enough to award the grange with a $5000.00 grant to repair the floors. Since that time, we have learned that in order to get the grange opened up again we only need to repair some ceiling tiles and make some bathroom repairs. Our board members are kindly asking the board permission to reallocate this grant money from repairing the floors, to repairing the ceiling. The floors will still need to be done at later date, but not a necessity to open up. Once we are open, we can continue to fund raise to help replenish our funds. I have attached a bid from a local contractor for what he will charge to fix our ceiling. This came out to $5,222.40 The building was constructed in 1923 as Middle Skokomish School and closed in 1959. The Skokomish Grange #379 organization bought the school and has always supported the building. The grange is a non-profit state organization. We have been active since 1910 and conduct monthly meetings. We currently have thirty-five (35) members and ten (10) that are active participants. We incur dues, taxes, quarterly dues and other miscellaneous expenses. The hall is listed under the Mason County Historic Preservation Registry and is also a Washington State School Historical site, therefore preserving the hall is very important to the community. The grange organization supports local schools, gives scholarships and supports the community. The Skokomish Grange Hall is a very important to the Grange association and to the community. We appreciate any donation you can give to help save our building and reopen for public use and for the grange members.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND/OR FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS The Subrecipient shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements and program guidance identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents published by DHS/FEMA applicable to the 24HSGP Program, including, but not limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and requirements of "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Fiscal Year 2024 Homeland Security Grant Program" (hereafter"the NOFO"), the Preparedness Grants Manual FM 207-23-0001 April 2024 (hereafter "the Manual"), the DHS Award Letter for the Grant, and the federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. The DHS Award Letter is incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment C. The Subrecipient acknowledges that since this Agreement involves federal award funding, the period of performance may begin prior to the availability of appropriated federal funds. The Subrecipient agrees that it will not hold the Department, the state of Washington, or the United States liable for any damages, claim for reimbursement, or any type of payment whatsoever for services performed under this Agreement prior to distribution of appropriated federal funds, or if federal funds are not appropriated or in a particular amount. A. STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DHS/FEMA PREPAREDNESS GRANTS: The following requirements apply to all DHS/FEMA Preparedness Grants administered by the Department. 1. SUBAWARDS & CONTRACTS BY SUBRECIPIENTS a. The Subrecipient must make a case-by-case determination whether each agreement it makes for the disbursement of 24HSGP funds received under this Agreement casts the party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or contractor in accordance with 2 CFR 200.331. b. If the Subrecipient becomes a pass-through entity by making a subaward to a non-federal entity as its subrecipient: i. The Subrecipient must comply with all federal laws and regulations applicable to pass- through entities of 24HSGP funds, including, but not limited to, those contained in 2 CFR 200. ii. The Subrecipient shall require its subrecipient(s) to comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements and program guidance identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents published by DHS/FEMA applicable to the 24HSGP Program, including, but not limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and requirements of the NOFO, the Manual, the DHS Award Letter for the Grant in Attachment C, and the federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants. DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 2 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 iii. The Subrecipient shall be responsible to the Department for ensuring that all 24HSGP federal award funds provided to its subrecipients are used in accordance with applicable federal and state statutes and regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award set forth in Attachment C of this Agreement. iv. The Subrecipient must follow their own policies and procedures to eliminate or reduce the impact of conflicts of interest when making subawards, adhering to any applicable federal or state statutes or regulations. Any real or potential conflicts of interest must be reported to the Department in writing upon discovery. 2. BUDGET, REIMBURSEMENT, AND TIMELINE a. Within the total Grant Agreement Amount, travel, subcontracts, salaries, benefits, printing, equipment, and other goods and services or other budget categories will be reimbursed on an actual cost basis upon completion unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. b. The maximum amount of all reimbursement requests permitted to be submitted under this Agreement, including the final reimbursement request, is limited to and shall not exceed the total Grant Agreement Amount. c. If the Subrecipient chooses to include indirect costs within the Budget(Attachment E), additional documentation is required based on the applicable situation. As described in 2 CFR 200.414 and Appendix VII to 2 CFR 200: i. If the Subrecipient receives direct funding from any Federal agency(ies), documentation of the rate must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel per the following: A. More than $35 million, the approved indirect cost rate agreement negotiated with its federal cognizant agency. B. Less than $35 million, the indirect cost proposal developed in accordance with Appendix VI of 2 CFR 200 requirements. ii. If the Subrecipient does not receive direct federal funds (i.e., only receives funds as a subrecipient), the Subrecipient must either elect to charge a de minimis rate of ten percent (10%) or 10% of modified total direct costs or choose to negotiate a higher rate with the Department. If the latter is preferred, the Subrecipient must contact Department Key Personnel to request approval from FEMA per 2 CFR 200.102(b). d. For travel costs, the Subrecipient shall comply with 2 CFR 200.475 and should consult their internal policies, state rates set pursuant to RCW 43.03.050 and RCW 43.03.060 as now existing or amended, and federal maximum rates set forth at https://www.gsa.gov, and follow the most restrictive. If travel costs exceed set state or federal limits, travel costs shall not be reimbursed without prior written approval by Department Key Personnel. All international travel requires prior FEMA approval. e. Reimbursement requests will include a properly completed State A-19 Invoice Form and Reimbursement Spreadsheet (in the format provided by the Department) detailing the expenditures for which reimbursement is sought. Reimbursement requests must be submitted to ReimbursementsC@-mil.wa.gov no later than the due dates listed within the Timeline (Attachment F). Reimbursement request totals should be commensurate to the time spent processing by the Subrecipient and the Department. f. Receipts and/or backup documentation for any approved items that are authorized under this Agreement must be maintained by the Subrecipient consistent with record retention requirements of this Agreement and be made available upon request by the Department and auditors. g. The Subrecipient must request prior written approval from Department Key Personnel to waive or extend a due date in the Timeline (Attachment F). Waiving or missing deadlines serves as an indicator for assessing an agency's level of risk of noncompliance with the regulations, requirements, and the terms and conditions of the Agreement and may increase required monitoring activities. For waived or extended reimbursement due dates, all allowable costs should DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 3 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 be submitted on the next scheduled reimbursement due date contained in the Timeline. Any request for a waiver or extension of a due date in the Timeline will be treated as a request for Amendment of the Agreement. This request must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel sufficiently in advance of the due date to provide adequate time for Department review and consideration and may be granted or denied within the Department's sole discretion. h. All work under this Agreement must end on or before the Grant Agreement End Date, and the final reimbursement request must be submitted to the Department within the time period notated in the Timeline (Attachment F) except as otherwise authorized by either (1) written amendment of this Agreement or (2) written notification from the Department to the Subrecipient to provide additional time for completion of the Subrecipient's subproject(s). If funds are not required, the Subrecipient shall notify the Department Key Personnel. i. All costs for equipment and supplies must be incurred, and items received, before the Grant Agreement End Date. j. Failure to submit timely, accurate, and complete reports and reimbursement requests as required by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, those reports in the Timeline [Attachment F]) will prohibit the Subrecipient from being reimbursed until such reports are submitted and the Department has had reasonable time to conduct its review. k. Final reimbursement requests will not be approved for payment until the Subrecipient is current with all reporting requirements contained in this Agreement. I. For SHSP and UASI Subrecipients, a written amendment will be required if the Subrecipient expects cumulative transfers among subproject totals, as identified in the Budget(Attachment E), to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Grant Agreement Amount. If a Subrecipient has only one subproject, cumulative transfers among solution areas within the subproject that exceed ten percent (10%) of the Grant Agreement Amount shall require an amendment to this Agreement. Any changes to budget totals not in compliance with this paragraph will not be reimbursed without approval from the Department. m. For OPSG Subrecipients, any deviations from the approved, direct budget categories will require additional federal approvals and possibly a written amendment. n. Subrecipients shall only use federal award funds under this Agreement to supplement existing funds and will not use them to replace (supplant) non-federal funds that have been budgeted for the same purpose. The Subrecipient may be required to demonstrate and document that the reduction in non-federal resources occurred for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt of federal funds. 3. REPORTING a. With each reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall report how the expenditures, for which reimbursement is sought, relate to the Work Plan (Attachments D-1, D-2) activities in the format provided by the Department. b. With the final reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall submit to the Department Key Personnel a final report (in the format provided by the Department) describing all completed activities under this Agreement. c. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) and related OMB Guidance consistent with Public Law 109-282 as amended by section 6202(a) of Public Law 110-252 (see 31 U.S.C. 6101 note) and complete and return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA Form. This form is required to be completed once per calendar year, per Subrecipient, and not per agreement. The Department's Contracts Office will request the Subrecipient submit an updated form at the beginning of each calendar year in which the Subrecipient has an active agreement. d. To document compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the Subrecipient shall complete the annual NIMS survey conducted by Washington Emergency Management Division (EMD). DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 4 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 4. NIMS COMPLIANCE a. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) identifies concepts and principles that answer how to manage emergencies from preparedness to recovery regardless of their cause, size, location, or complexity. NIMS provides a consistent, nationwide approach and vocabulary for multiple agencies or jurisdictions to work together to build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities needed to achieve a secure and resilient nation. b. Consistent implementation of NIMS provides a solid foundation across jurisdictions and disciplines to ensure effective and integrated preparedness, planning, and response. NIMS empowers the components of the National Preparedness System, a requirement of Presidential Policy Directive 8, to guide activities within the public and private sector and describes the planning, organizational activities, equipping, training, and exercising needed to build and sustain the core capabilities in support of the National Preparedness Goal. c. In order to receive federal preparedness funding from the Department, the Subrecipient must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS. See Agreement Attachment A,Article II section 3.d. for associated reporting requirements. The list of objectives used for progress and achievement reporting can be found at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation-training. 5. EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT a. The Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward shall comply with 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327, and all Washington State procurement statutes, when procuring any equipment or supplies under this Agreement, 2 CFR 200.313 for management of equipment, and 2 CFR 200.314 for management of supplies, to include, but not limited to: i. Upon successful completion of the terms of this Agreement, all equipment and supplies purchased through this Agreement will be owned by the Subrecipient, or a recognized non- federal entity to which the Subrecipient has made a subaward, for which a contract, subrecipient grant agreement, or other means of legal transfer of ownership is in place. ii. All equipment, and supplies as applicable, purchased under this Agreement will be recorded and maintained in the Subrecipient's inventory system. iii. Inventory system records shall include: A. Description of the property; B. Manufacturer's serial number, model number, or other identification number C. Funding source for the property, including the Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) (Face Sheet, Box 11) D. Assistance Listings Number(Face Sheet, Box 13) E. Who holds the title; F. Acquisition date; G. Cost of the property and the percentage of federal participation in the cost; H. Location, use and condition of the property at the date the information was reported; I. Disposition data including the date of disposal and sale price of the property. iv. The Subrecipient shall take a physical inventory of the equipment, and supplies as applicable, and reconcile the results with the property records at least once every two years. Any differences between quantities determined by the physical inspection and those shown in the records shall be investigated by the Subrecipient to determine the cause of the difference. The Subrecipient shall, in connection with the inventory, verify the existence, current utilization, and continued need for the equipment. V. The Subrecipient shall be responsible for any and all operational and maintenance expenses and for the safe operation of the equipment and supplies including all questions DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 5 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 of liability. The Subrecipient shall develop appropriate maintenance schedules and procedures to ensure the equipment, and supplies as applicable, are well-maintained and kept in good operating condition. vi. The Subrecipient shall develop a control system to ensure adequate safeguards to prevent loss, damage, and theft of the property. Any loss, damage, or theft shall be investigated, and a report generated and sent to the Department's Key Personnel. vii. The Subrecipient must obtain and maintain all necessary certifications and licenses for the equipment. viii. If the Subrecipient is authorized or required to sell the property, proper sales procedures must be established and followed to ensure the highest possible return. For disposition, if upon termination or at the Grant Agreement End Date, when original or replacement supplies or equipment acquired under a federal award are no longer needed for the original project or program or for other activities currently or previously supported by a federal awarding agency, the Subrecipient must comply with the following procedures: A. For Supplies: If there is a residual inventory of unused supplies exceeding $5,000 in total aggregate value upon termination or completion of the project or program and the supplies are not needed for any other federal award, the Subrecipient must retain the supplies for use on other activities or sell them, but must, in either case, compensate the federal government for its share. The amount of compensation must be computed in the same manner as for equipment. B. For Equipment: 1) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or less may be retained, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of with no further obligation to the federal awarding agency. 2) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value in excess of five thousand dollars ($5,000) may be retained or sold. The Subrecipient shall compensate the federal awarding agency in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.313 (e) (2). C. Notify Department Key Personnel to initiate the disposition process by the federal awarding agency. ix. Records for equipment shall be retained by the Subrecipient for a period of six (6) years from the date of the disposition, replacement, or transfer. If any litigation, claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the six- (6-) year period, the records shall be retained by the Subrecipient until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved. b. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Department's Purchase Review Process, which is incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement. No reimbursement will be provided unless the appropriate approval has been received. c. Allowable equipment categories for the grant program are listed on the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) located on the FEMA website at https://www.fema.gov/qrants/guidance-tools/authorized- equipment-list. It is important that the Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward regard the AEL as an authorized purchasing list identifying items allowed under the specific grant program; the AEL includes items that may not be categorized as equipment according to the federal, state, local, and tribal definitions of equipment. The Subrecipient is solely responsible for ensuring and documenting purchased items under this Agreement are authorized as allowed items by the AEL at time of purchase. If the item is not identified on the AEL as allowable under the grant program, the Subrecipient must contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA approval rior to acquisition. DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 6 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 d. Equipment might require more than one waiver. The Subrecipient must contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in identifying what waivers are needed and in seeking FEMA approval prior to acquisition. e. Equipment purchases (those with a current per-unit fair market value in excess of $5,000) must be identified and explained to the Department. Use, management, and disposition of such equipment is subject to requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.313. Before making such purchases, the Subrecipient should analyze the cost benefits of purchasing versus leasing equipment, especially high-cost items and those subject to rapid technical advances. f. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory state and DHS/FEMA adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using federal award funds. g. If funding is allocated to support emergency communications activities, the Subrecipient must ensure that all projects comply with SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency Communications Grants, located at https://www.cisa.gov/safecom/funding, including provisions on technical standards that ensure and enhance interoperable communications. h. Effective August 13, 2020, FEMA recipients and subrecipients, as well as their contractors and subcontractors, may not obligate or expend any FEMA award funds to: i. Procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology of any system; ii. Enter into, extend, or renew a contract to procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology of any system; or iii. Enter into, extend, or renew contracts with entities that use covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system. This prohibition regarding certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment is mandated by section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019(FY 2019 NDAA), Pub. L. No. 115-232(2018) and 2 CFR 200.216, 200.327, 200.471, and Appendix 11 to 2CFR200. Recipients and subrecipients may use DHS/FEMA grant funding to procure replacement equipment and services impacted by this prohibition, provided the costs are otherwise consistent with the requirements of the Manual and the NOFO. Per subsections 889(f)(2)-(3) of the FY 2019 NDAA, and 2 CFR 200.216, covered telecommunications equipment or services means: i. Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation, (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities); ii. For the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security purposes, video surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company, or Dahua Technology Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities) iii. Telecommunications or video surveillance services provided by such entities or using such equipment; or iv. Telecommunications or video surveillance equipment or services produced or provided by an entity that the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence or the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, reasonably believes to be an entity owned or controlled by, or otherwise connected to, the government of a covered foreign country. i. For OPSG Subrecipients, items budgeted as equipment in an approved Operations Order should be marked prominently with "Purchased with DHS funds for Operation Stonegarden Use" when practicable. DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 7 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 j. The Subrecipient must pass through equipment and supply management requirements that meet or exceed the requirements outlined above to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward of federal award funds under this Agreement. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PRESERVATION a. The Subrecipient shall ensure full compliance with the DHS/FEMA Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) Program. EHP program information can be found at https://www.fema.gov/qrants/guidance-tools/environmental-historic all of which are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement. b. Projects that have historical impacts or the potential to impact the natural or built environment, including, but not limited to, construction of communication towers; modification or renovation of existing buildings, structures and facilities; installation of sonar system; or new construction, including replacement of facilities, must participate in the DHS/FEMA EHP review process prior to project initiation. Modification of existing buildings, including minimally invasive improvements such as attaching monitors to interior walls, and training or exercises occurring outside in areas not considered previously disturbed also require a DHS/FEMA EHP review before project initiation. c. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that includes the entire scope of work, including any alternatives that may be under consideration, along with supporting documentation so FEMA may determine whether the proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic properties. d. The Subrecipient agrees that, to receive any federal preparedness funding, all EHP compliance requirements outlined in applicable guidance must be met. The EHP review process must be completed and FEMA approval must be received by the Subrecipient before any work is started for which reimbursement will be later requested. Expenditures for projects started before completion of the EHP review process and receipt of approval by the Subrecipient will not be reimbursed. 6. PROCUREMENT The Subrecipient shall comply with all procurement requirements of 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327 and as specified in the General Terms and Conditions (Attachment B, A.10). a. For all contracts expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, per 2CFR200.1, the Subrecipient must notify the Department. The Department may request pre-procurement documents, such as request for proposals, invitations for bids and independent cost estimates. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be responsible for requesting and reviewing pre- procurement documents. b. For all sole source contracts expected to exceed the micro-purchase threshold per 2 CFR 200.1, the Subrecipient must submit justification to the Department for review and approval. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be responsible for reviewing and approving sole source justifications to any non-federal entity to which Subrecipient makes any award. c. The Subrecipient as well as its contractors and subcontractors must comply with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA), which was enacted as a part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act §§ 70901-70297, Pub. L. No. 117-58 (2021); and Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America's Workers. BABAA requires any infrastructure project receiving federal funding must ensure: i. All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States. This means all manufacturing processes, from initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States. ii. All manufactured products must be produced in the United States. For a manufactured product to be considered produced in the United States, the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States must DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 8 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 be greater than 55% of the total cost of all minimum amount of domestic content of manufactured product, unless subject to another standard. iii. All construction materials are manufactured in the United States. This means that all manufacturing processes for construction material occurred in the United States. Additionally, applicable infrastructure projects are subject to domestic preference requirements. A domestic preference does not apply to non-infrastructure spending under an award that also includes a covered project. A domestic preference applies to an entire infrastructure project, even if it is funded by both federal and non-federal funds under one or more awards. i. Domestic preferences under BABAA only apply to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a domestic preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of or permanently affixed to the structure. ii. Infrastructure, for the purposes of BABAA, includes, at a minimum, the structures, facilities, and equipment for, in the United States, roads, highways and bridges; public transportation; dams, ports, harbors and other maritime facilities; intercity passenger and freight railroads; freight and intermodal facilities; airports; water systems, including drinking water and wastewater systems; electrical transmission facilities and systems; utilities; broadband infrastructure; and buildings and real property. Infrastructure includes facilities that generate, transport, and distribute energy. iii. The Subrecipient's contractors and their subcontractors who apply or bid for an award for an infrastructure project subject to the domestic preference requirement in the BABAA shall file a required certification to the Subrecipient with each bid or offer for an infrastructure project unless a domestic preference requirement is waived by FEMA. Contractors and subcontractors must certify that no federal financial assistance funding for infrastructure projects will be provided unless all the iron, steel, manufactured projects, and construction materials used in the project are produced in the United States. BABAA, Pub. L. No. 117- 58, §§ 70901-52.

SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING a. The Department will monitor the activities of the Subrecipient from award to closeout. The goal of the Department's monitoring activities will be to ensure that subrecipients receiving federal pass- through funds are in compliance with this Agreement, federal and state audit requirements, federal grant guidance, and applicable federal and state financial regulations, as well as 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. b. To document compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F requirements, the Subrecipient shall complete and return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA form. Reporting requirements are referenced in section 3.c. DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 9 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 c. Monitoring activities may include, but are not limited to: i. Review of financial and performance reports; ii. Monitoring and documenting the completion of Agreement deliverables; iii. Documentation of phone calls, meetings (e.g., agendas, sign-in sheets, meeting minutes), e- mails and correspondence; iv. Review of reimbursement requests and supporting documentation to ensure allowability and consistency with Agreement Work Plan (Attachments D-1, D-2), Budget (Attachment E), and federal requirements; v. Observation and documentation of Agreement-related activities, such as exercises, training, events, and equipment demonstrations; and vi. On-site visits to review equipment records and inventories,to verify source documentation for reimbursement requests and performance reports, and to verify completion of deliverables. d. The Subrecipient is required to meet or exceed the monitoring activities, as outlined above, for any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward as a pass-through entity under this Agreement. e. Compliance will be monitored throughout the performance period to assess risk. Concerns will be addressed through a Corrective Action Plan. 8. LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 TITLE VI) a. The Subrecipient must comply with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) prohibition against discrimination on the basis of national origin, which requires that subrecipients of federal financial assistance take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to persons with limited English proficiency (LEP) to their programs and services. FEMA Policy FP-256-23-001 (www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema )policy-lanquage-access.pdf) further stresses this requirement applies to anyone awarded FEMA funding. Providing meaningful access for persons with LEP may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation. Executive Order 13166, Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (August 11, 2000), requires federal agencies to issue guidance to recipients, assisting such organizations and entities in understanding their language access obligations. DHS published the required recipient guidance in April 2011, DHS Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition against National Orig Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons, 76 Fed. Reg. 21755-21768, (April 18, 2011). The Guidance provides helpful information such as how a recipient can determine the extent of its obligation to provide language services, selecting language services, and elements of an effective plan on language assistance for LEP persons. For additional assistance and information regarding language access obligations, please refer to the DHS Recipient Guidance at https://www.dhs.gov/quidance-published- help-department-supported-organizations-provide-meaningful-access-people-limited and additional resources on https://www.lep.gov. b. Subrecipients are encouraged to perform and document their analysis of the most appropriate language assistance services necessary to ensure a LEP individual has meaningful access to the Subrecipient's programs and activities. The analysis should consider i. The number or proportion of LEP individuals eligible to be served or likely encountered by the program ii. The frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with the program iii. The nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided by the program to people's lives iv. The resources available to the program and costs B. HSGP SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS The objectives of the HSGP are to (1) build and sustain core capabilities, including Law Enforcement and Terrorism Prevention Activities and the National Priority Areas; (2) address capability gaps identified in DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 10 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) and Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) process; and (3) implement a comprehensive and coordinated approach to address enduring security needs of communities that includes planning, training and awareness campaigns, equipment and capital projects, and exercises. 1.

State, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies utilize their inherent law enforcement authorities to support the border security mission and do not receive any additional authority by participating in OPSG. d. State agencies, including law enforcement, must comply with RCW 43.17.425 and may not use agency funds (including this grant), facilities, property, equipment, or personnel, to investigate, enforce, cooperate with, or assist in the investigation or enforcement of any federal registration or surveillance programs or any other laws, rules, or policies that target Washington residents solely on the basis of race, religion, immigration, or citizenship status, or national or ethnic origin, except as provided in RCW 43.17.425 (3). 2. The Budget (Attachment E) may include the following caps and thresholds: a. If funds are allotted for Management and Administration (M&A), such expenditures must be related to administration of the grant. The maximum percentage of the Grant Agreement Amount that may be used for M&A costs when allocated under this Agreement shall not exceed five percent(5%) but may be less. b. At least thirty percent(35%) of the combined HSGP award allocated under SHSP and UASI must be dedicated to law enforcement terrorism prevention activities (LETPA).

For SHSP and UASI, Subrecipients are required to complete the annual Nationwide Cybersecurity Review (NCSR) https://www.cisecuritV.org/ms-isac/services/ncsr to benchmark and measure progress of improvement in their cybersecurity posture. However, if the Subrecipient receives State and Local Cybersecurity(SLCGP)funding, they do not have to report completion under SHSP and/or UASI but only under SLCGP. 6. Except for an elevated National Terrorism Advisory System alert, prior written approval is required before SHSP and UASI funds may be used for operational overtime. Requests must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel in advance of the expenditure to ensure all additional approval steps can be met. 7. To gather data for the required FEMA deliverables (i.e., Stakeholder Preparedness Review [SPR], Threat Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment [THIRA]), EMD is piloting a three-year County Emergency Preparedness Assessment (CEPA) process with workshops, occurring in a third of the 39 counties each calendar year 2024-2026. SHSP Subrecipient must participate in a CEPA workshop located in their county and in any follow-on data calls to receive SHSP funding. 8.

The Subrecipient shall retain and allow access to all records related to this Agreement and the funded project(s) for a period of at least six (6) years following final payment and closure of the grant under this Agreement. Despite the minimum federal retention requirement of three(3)years, the more stringent State requirement of six (6) years must be followed. A.26 RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROJECT/STATEMENT OF WORKIWORK PLAN While the Department undertakes to assist the Subrecipient with the project/statement of work/work plan (project) by providing federal award funds pursuant to this Agreement, the project itself remains the sole responsibility of the Subrecipient. The Department undertakes no responsibility to the Subrecipient, or to any third party, other than as is expressly set out in this Agreement. The responsibility for the design, development, construction, implementation, operation and maintenance of the project, as these phrases are applicable to this project, is solely that of the Subrecipient, as is responsibility for any claim or suit of any nature by any third party related in any way to the project. Prior to the start of any construction activity, the Subrecipient shall ensure that all applicable federal, state, and local permits and clearances are obtained, including, but not limited to, FEMA compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Endangered Species Act, and all other environmental laws, regulations, and executive orders.

A.27 SEVERABILITY If any court of rightful jurisdiction holds any provision or condition under this Agreement or its application to any person or circumstances invalid, this invalidity does not affect other provisions, terms or conditions of the Agreement, which can be given effect without the invalid provision. To this end, the terms and conditions of this Agreement are declared severable. A.28 SINGLE AUDIT ACT REQUIREMENTS (including all AMENDMENTS) The Subrecipient shall comply with and include the following audit requirements in any subawards. Non-federal entities, as Subrecipients of a federal award, that expend $750,000 or more in one fiscal year of federal funds from all sources, direct and indirect, are required to have a single or a program- specific audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. Non-federal entities that spend less than $750,000 a year in federal awards are exempt from federal audit requirements for that year, DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 20 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 except as noted in 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. As defined in 2 CFR Part 200, the term "non-federal entity" means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education, or nonprofit organization that carries out a federal award as a recipient or subrecipient. Subrecipients that are required to have an audit must ensure the audit is performed in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) as found in the Government Auditing Standards (the Revised Yellow Book) developed by the United States Comptroller General and the OMB Compliance Supplement. The Subrecipient has the responsibility of notifying its auditor and requesting an audit in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, to include the Washington State Auditor's Office, a federal auditor, or a public accountant performing work using GAGAS, as appropriate. Costs of the audit may be an allowable grant expenditure as authorized by 2 CFR Part 200.425. The Subrecipient shall maintain auditable records and accounts so as to facilitate the audit requirement and shall ensure that any subcontractors also maintain auditable records. The Subrecipient is responsible for any audit exceptions incurred by its own organization or that of its subcontractors. Responses to any unresolved management findings and disallowed or questioned costs shall be included with the audit report. The Subrecipient must respond to Department requests for information or corrective action concerning audit issues or findings within 30 days of the date of request. The Department reserves the right to recover from the Subrecipient all disallowed costs resulting from the audit. After the single audit has been completed, and if it includes any audit findings, the Subrecipient must send a full copy of the audit and its Corrective Action Plan to the Department at the following address no later than nine (9) months after the end of the Subrecipient's fiscal year(s): Contracts Office Washington Military Department Finance Division, Building #1 TA-20 Camp Murray, WA 98430-5032 OR Contracts.Office(a)m il.wa.gov The Department retains the sole discretion to determine whether a valid claim for an exemption from the audit requirements of this provision has been established. Conducting a single or program-specific audit in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F is a material requirement of this Agreement. In the absence of a valid claim of exemption from the audit requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, the Subrecipient's failure to comply with said audit requirements may result in one or more of the following actions in the Department's sole discretion: a percentage of federal awards being withheld until the audit is completed in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F; the withholding or disallowing of overhead costs; the suspension of federal awards until the audit is conducted and submitted; or termination of the federal award. A.29 SUBRECIPIENT NOT EMPLOYEE The Subrecipient, and/or employees or agents performing under this Agreement, are not employees or agents of the Department in any manner whatsoever. The Subrecipient will not be presented as nor claim to be an officer or employee of the Department or of the state of Washington by reason hereof, nor will the Subrecipient make any claim, demand, or application to or for any right, privilege or benefit applicable to an officer or employee of the Department or of the state of Washington, including, but not limited to, Workers' Compensation coverage, unemployment insurance benefits, social security benefits, retirement membership or credit, or privilege or benefit which would accrue to a civil service employee under Chapter 41.06 RCW; OFM Reg. 4.3.1.1.8. It is understood that if the Subrecipient is another state department, state agency, state university, state college, state community college, state board, or state commission, that the officers and employees are employed by the state of Washington in their own right. If the Subrecipient is an individual currently employed by a Washington State agency, the Department shall obtain proper approval from the employing agency or institution before entering into this contract. A statement of"no conflict of interest" shall be submitted to the Department. A.30 TAXES, FEES AND LICENSES DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 21 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Subrecipient shall be responsible for, pay and maintain in current status all taxes, unemployment contributions, fees, licenses, assessments, permit charges and expenses of any other kind for the Subrecipient or its staff required by statute or regulation that are applicable to Agreement performance. A.31 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, the Subrecipient may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to the Department Key Personnel identified in the Agreement, specifying the effective date thereof, at least thirty (30) days prior to such date. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Department, in its sole discretion and in the best interests of the state of Washington, may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part ten (10) business days after emailing notice to the Subrecipient. Upon notice of termination for convenience, the Department reserves the right to suspend all or part of the Agreement, withhold further payments, or prohibit the Subrecipient from incurring additional obligations of funds. In the event of termination, the Subrecipient shall be liable for all damages as authorized by law. The rights and remedies of the Department provided for in this section shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law. A.32 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR LOSS OF FUNDING The Department may unilaterally terminate or suspend all or part of this Grant Agreement, or may reduce its scope of work and budget, if there is a reduction in funds by the source of those funds, and if such funds are the basis for this Grant Agreement. The Department will email the Subrecipient ten (10) business days prior to termination. A.33 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR CAUSE In the event the Department, in its sole discretion, determines the Subrecipient has failed to fulfill in a timely and proper manner its obligations under this Agreement, is in an unsound financial condition so as to endanger performance hereunder, is in violation of any laws or regulations that render the Subrecipient unable to perform any aspect of the Agreement, or has violated any of the covenants, agreements or stipulations of this Agreement, the Department has the right to immediately suspend or terminate this Agreement in whole or in part. The Department may notify the Subrecipient in writing of the need to take corrective action and provide a period of time in which to cure. The Department is not required to allow the Subrecipient an opportunity to cure if it is not feasible as determined solely within the Department's discretion. Any time allowed for cure shall not diminish or eliminate the Subrecipient's liability for damages or otherwise affect any other remedies available to the Department. If the Department allows the Subrecipient an opportunity to cure, the Department shall notify the Subrecipient in writing of the need to take corrective action. If the corrective action is not taken within ten (10) calendar days or as otherwise specified by the Department, or if such corrective action is deemed by the Department to be insufficient, the Agreement may be terminated in whole or in part. The Department reserves the right to suspend all or part of the Agreement, withhold further payments, or prohibit the Subrecipient from incurring additional obligations of funds during investigation of the alleged compliance breach, pending corrective action by the Subrecipient, if allowed, or pending a decision by the Department to terminate the Agreement in whole or in part. In the event of termination,the Subrecipient shall be liable for all damages as authorized by law, including, but not limited to, any cost difference between the original Agreement and the replacement or cover Agreement and all administrative costs directly related to the replacement Agreement, e.g., cost of administering the competitive solicitation process, mailing, advertising and other associated staff time. The rights and remedies of the Department provided for in this section shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Subrecipient: (1) was not in default or material breach, or (2) failure to perform was outside of the Subrecipient's control, fault or negligence, the termination shall be deemed to be a termination for convenience. A.34 TERMINATION PROCEDURES In addition to the procedures set forth below, if the Department terminates this Agreement, the Subrecipient shall follow any procedures specified in the termination notice. Upon termination of this DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY24 Page 22 of 47 Mason County, E25-209 Agreement and in addition to any other rights provided in this Agreement, the Department may require the Subrecipient to deliver to the Department any property specifically produced or acquired for the performance of such part of this Agreement as has been terminated. If the termination is for convenience, the Department shall pay to the Subrecipient as an agreed upon price, if separately stated, for properly authorized and completed work and services rendered or goods delivered to and accepted by the Department prior to the effective date of Agreement termination, the amount agreed upon by the Subrecipient and the Department for(i) completed work and services and/or equipment or supplies provided for which no separate price is stated, (ii) partially completed work and services and/or equipment or supplies provided which are accepted by the Department, (iii) other work, services and/or equipment or supplies which are accepted by the Department, and (iv)the protection and preservation of property. Failure to agree with such amounts shall be a dispute within the meaning of the "Disputes" clause of this Agreement. If the termination is for cause, the Department shall determine the extent of the liability of the Department. The Department shall have no other obligation to the Subrecipient for termination. The Department may withhold from any amounts due the Subrecipient such sum as the Department determines to be necessary to protect the Department against potential loss or liability. The rights and remedies of the Department provided in this Agreement shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law. After receipt of a notice of termination, and except as otherwise directed by the Department in writing, the Subrecipient shall: a. Stop work under the Agreement on the date, and to the extent specified, in the notice; b. Place no further orders or contracts for materials, services, supplies, equipment and/or facilities in relation to this Agreement except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the work under the Agreement as is not terminated; C.

If the court lacks federal subject matter jurisdiction, then the Tribe agrees to waive its sovereign immunity from suit for the limited purpose of permitting the State to enforce the terms of this Agreement in the Superior Court of Washington under Washington law, and venue for such suit shall be the Superior Court of Thurston County, Washington. This limited waiver of sovereign immunity is solely for the benefit of the State. This limited waiver of sovereign immunity shall not be for, nor shall it be construed as for, the benefit of any other person or entity, and the Tribe does not waive its immunity with respect to any action brought by, or on behalf of, any other entity or person.

Each region develops projects to address their specific risks and hazards which sustain previously built capabilities or to close identified gaps. The HLS Regions have identified several key projects that sustain the core capabilities of Community Resilience, Intelligence & Information Sharing, Interdiction & Disruption, Mass Care Services, Mass Search & Rescue Operations, On-scene Security, Protection, & Law Enforcement, Operational Communication, Operational Coordination, Planning, Public Information &Warning, and Screening, Search & Protection. Projects focus on effective planning, organizing, equipping, training, and exercising to build, sustain, and deliver capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism. As communicated in the SPR, capability gaps have been identified in: Community Resilience: (1) There is a large segment of the population that has not taken action to prepare for emergencies. (2) There is a need to collaborate with and build capacity in CERT. (3) There is a need for staffing to meet public outreach needs. Intelligence & Information Sharing: (1) Local funding for sustainment of intelligence analysts continues to be a challenge. Interdiction & Disruption: (1) There is a need to replace expiring and upgrade law enforcement equipment. (2) There is a lack of developed policies, plans, procedures, mutual aid agreements, strategies, and other publications, including the collection and analysis of intelligence and information. (3) There is a need for tactical law enforcement operations training and exercises. Mass Care Services: (1) Local responders lack the necessary equipment/supplies to support mass care site locations services during disaster conditions.
