OKOHS Grant Programs

Oklahoma's U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding is awarded and distributed through OKOHS as the State Administering Agency (SAA) designated by the Governor.  As the SAA, OKOHS manages five grant programs: State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP), Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) Program and the Citizen Corps Program.

State Homeland Security Program (SHSP)

Purpose: This core assistance program provides funds to build capabilities at the State and local levels through planning, equipment, training and exercise activities.  SHSP also supports the implementation of State homeland security strategies and key elements of the national preparedness architecture, including the National Preparedness Goal, the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Plan (NRP).

Eligible Applicants: Eligible entities for SHSP are all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the Virgin Islands.  Available funds are distributed to each State based upon the risk and effectiveness scores associated with each application and also on a minimum allocation consistent with the statutory formula set by the USA Patriot Act.  Each State, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will receive .75% of total available SHSP funds as a minimum allocation and the four territories will each receive .25%.  Effectiveness scores are determined through a peer review of proposed State investments.

Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP)

Purpose: LETPP provides resources to law enforcement and public safety communities to support critical terrorism prevention activities, including establishing and enhancing fusion centers and collaborating with non-law enforcement partners, other government agencies and the private sector.

Eligible Applicants:  LETPP eligibility mirrors that of the SHSP program:  all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the Virgin Islands.  Available funds are distributed to each State based upon the risk and effectiveness scores associated with each application and also on a minimum allocation consistent with the statutory formula set by the USA Patriot Act.

Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI)

Purpose: The UASI Program focuses on the unique planning, equipment, training and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density urban areas.  It assists them in building sustainable capacity to prevent, protect, respond and recover from acts of terrorism.

Eligible Applicants: Forty-five (45) urban areas are eligible for funding under the FY07 program.  Six of these areas are designated as highest risk UASI jurisdictions and will be eligible to compete for $410 million or 55% of available funds.  The remaining UASI areas will compete for the remaining $336 million or 45% of available funds.  Funds will be allocated based on analysis of risk and the effectiveness of proposed investments by the applicants.  Risk for UASI jurisdictions is evaluated using a consistent methodology of threat, vulnerability and consequences. 

Metropolitan Medical Response System Program (MMRS) *

Purpose: MMRS funds support local preparedness efforts to respond to all-hazards mass casualty incidents, including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) terrorism, epidemic disease outbreaks, natural disasters and large-scale hazardous materials incidents.

Eligible Applicants: As in past years, 124 cities are eligible for MMRS funding including Oklahoma City and Tulsa.  Each of the MMRS jurisdictions will receive $258,145 to establish and sustain local capabilities.

* These funds are passed directly through OKOHS to MMRS

Citizen Corps Program (CCP)* 

Purpose: The Citizen Corps mission is to bring community and government leaders together to coordinate community involvement in emergency preparedness, planning, mitigation, response and recovery.

Eligible Applicants: Like SHSP and LETPP, the Citizen Corps Program is open to 56 States and Territories using the USA Patriot Act formula.  All 50 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will receive a minimum of .75% of the total available CCP grant funding.  Four territories will receive a minimum amount of .25% of the total available grant funding.  The balance of the CCP funds is distributed on a population-share basis. 

* Oklahoma's CCP funds are passed directly through to the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management
