For the Regular Meeting of: October 25, 2022
Originating Departmeni4arks & Recreation
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH CIVIC PLUS, LLC.,
MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE SERVICES
FOR RECREATION
PURPOSE: To enter into an agreement with Civic Plus, LLC., to provide Recreation Management Software and Services to the Parks & Recreation Department.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving an agreement with Civic Plus, LLC., to develop and host the City's Parks & Recreation software services; and
b. Appropriating $29,485 from the unallocated General Fund Balance to account 100-401-61- 6101 to pay for additional costs for the new software; and c. Authorizing the Mayor to execute the Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and d. Authorizing the Director of Parks & Recreation to execute any additional documents that may be required to implement the software program.
FISCAL IMPACT: The FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes $8,000 in the General Fund to go towards software licensing. Additional funds of $29,485 will need to be appropriated in FY 2022-23 in account # 100-401-61-6101 to cover the remaining costs for this agreement.
REPORT SUMMARY: The Parks & Recreation Department has been using e-Trak software systems since 2015 for all its facility reservations, program registration, membership, and Point of Sale (POS) systems. In January 2022, e-Trak notified staff that they would be upgrading their system from 1.0 to
2.0 in spring of 2022. Upon completion of the upgrade process staff noticed that that the "New" program did not include several key functions that were part of the original e-Trak 1.0 system. These included such things as; proper membership tracking and payment processing, and rosters for recreation classes. In working with e-Trak staff to see if they could add the missing functionality to the
2.0 system, they determined that it was not in their capabilities to make the changes and informed the City that they would either need to move to the 2.0 or have the current software system lose support at the end of the calendar year.
On August 16, 2022, the City released a Request for Proposal ("RFP") seeking a vendor to provide Recreation Management Software service to the Department. Six submissions were received by the City Clerk's Office.
1 340
A selection committee was formed involving representatives from the Parks & Recreation Department and the Administrative Services Department. The members of the committee conducted an initial review of the six (6) submissions and requested interview/presentations with all six of the vendors.
After reviewing the proposals and considering demonstrations of what each company offered, the committee requested additional information from their top choice CivicPlus, LLC., including all the missing services from e-Trak; and determined that they would provide the best Recreation Management Software for the Parks & Recreation Department needs.

integrated gateways to enhance the customer
experience through a streamlined relationship between the CivicPlus solution and the gateway that processes the payments.

To utilize any of the approved gateways, an agreement will need to be executed directly between South Gate and the vendor, that will assess separate merchant account and transaction fees. Additional information can be provided upon request.

Proposed Project Work Plan
Project Approach
During the Initiate and Analyze Phases, South Gate and the CivicRec Implementation Team will work
together to determine an ideal project plan based on your department's goals and contracted items. This includes, at minimum, determining the look and feel of your public page, configuring your accounting settings, importing GL codes, and setting up your payment
gateway. It may also include preparing data imports and/or integrations.
During the Design and Configure Phase, South Gate will learn the ins-and-outs of CivicRec through the four Core Curriculum Trainings and three Q&A /
Elective Sessions. Electives may include things like campgrounds, memberships, leagues, and front-line
training. Your CivicRec Implementation Consultant will train your team on the necessities of the system and tailor based on your specific needs. It is also expected that South Gate tests every item in their new catalog for practice and quality assurance. During this phase, it is important for South Gate to begin thinking about marketing tactics to promote your new online catalog.
After training is complete, South Gate enters the Optimize and Launch Phases, where you will work
with the CivicRec Implementation Team to prepare to launch. Both parties will help to ensure all requirements are met for a successful go-live. It will be up to the South Gate to determine when to open the catalog
to your community once all implementation tasks are complete.
Approximately two to four weeks after all
implementation requirements are complete, you will have one additional training/consulting engagement
with your Implementation Consultant to help support the transition. Once you are ready to launch to your community, you will place a link on your website to direct customers to your CivicRec catalog and our Technical Support Team will be ready to assist you with any questions you may have.
CivicPlus understands that South Gate staff is required to balance daily duties along with implementation. Our implementation approach takes this into account, and your timeline will be set according to your needs and may be modified upon discussion with your CivicRec Implementation Team.
Data Imports
A data import of all GL Codes is included in our
CivicRec Implementation Packages. Also included in your project is an import of all Memberships. CivicRec can also import certain data from your current
database to your new CivicRec Catalog, leveraging
our custom developed scripts and libraries. Additional data imports include User Accounts, Residency
Address Lists, Activities, Facilities, and Future Facility Reservations. To benefit from further data imports options, additional fees will apply.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund and no requirement for the City to match the grant funds. The total amount of funding that has been allocated to the City for FY 2022/23 is $175,000.
ANALYSIS: The South Gate Police Department submitted a grant application to the State of California Office of Traffic Safety ("OTS") for the STEP in early 2022. In September 2022, the OTS awarded the South Gate Police Department $175,000 for overtime, equipment, and training expense.
BACKGROUND: The OTS strives to provide funding assistance to agencies with the greatest 380
need. The grants are awarded on a competitive basis, and a comprehensive evaluation is part of the application review process. OTS evaluates applications using several criteria, including but not limited to; the potential traffic safety impact of proposed activities; local collision statistics, and OTS rankings; the seriousness of identified problems; perfon'nance on previous grants; proportionality of funding requested with identified traffic safety problems; and the value of the funding requested for the proposed activities.
In early 2022, the South Gate Police Department submitted a grant proposal to OTS seeking grant funding to impact traffic and record reporting related issues in the City. The goal of the STEP program will be to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in traffic collisions because of alcohol and other collision factors. Using best practices, the South Gate Police Department intends to impact these issues through DUI Checkpoints and saturation patrols, warrant service operations, surveillance operations, and educational awareness programs. The program will also focus on speeders, distracted drivers, seat belt enforcement, operations at intersections where there are a disproportionate number of traffic collisions, and special operations that encourage motorcycle safety.

9. Program Overview, Objectives, and Priorities
Overview
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Homeland Secui% Grant Program (HSGP) is one of three grant programs that constihite the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) focus on enhancing the ability of state, local, tribal, and territorial govenunents, as well as nonprofits, to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measrires authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS to help strengthen the Nation's cori'ununities against potential terrorist attacks. Among the five basic homeland security missions noted in the DHS Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, HSGP supports the goal to Strengthen National Preparedness and Resilience. In FY 2020, tl'iere are three components of HSGP:
1) State Homelarid Securiffl Program (SHSP): SHSP assists state, local, tribal, and teriitorial efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism.
2) Urban Area Security Iriitiative (UASI): UASI assists high-threat, high-density Urban Areas efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of tenorism.
3) Operation Storiegarderx (OPSG): OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Border Patrol (USBP), and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to improve overall border security. OPSG provides funding to support joint efforts to secure the United States' borders along routes of ingress/egress to and from international borders, to include travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and Canada as well as states and territories with intemational water borders. State, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) law enforcement agencies utilize their inherent law enforcement authorities to support the border security mission and do not receive any additional arithority as a result of participation in OPSG.
The 2018-2022 FEMA Strategic Plan creates a shared vision for reducing the risks posed by terrorism and sets an ambitioris, yet achievable, path forward to unify and fiirther professionalize emergency management across the countiy. HSGP supports the goals of Building a Culture of Preparedness and Readying the Nation for Catastrophic Disasters. We invite our stakeholders and partners to also adopt these priorities and join us in building a more prepared and resilient Nation, as preparedness is a shared responsibility and fianding shorild support priorities that are most impactM and demonstrate the greatest return on investment.
Finally, for FY 2020, DHS is focused on the criticality of information sharing and collaboration to building a national culture of preparedness and protecting against terrorism and other emerging threats to our national security. DHS and its homeland security mission were born from the "failures among federal agencies and between the federal agencies and state and local arithorities to share critical information related to the threat of terrorism" prior to the September 11, 2001, attacks.'The threat profile has changed in the last two decades - we now face contimioris cyber threats by sophisticated actors, threats to soft targets and crowded places, threats to our democratic election ' Homeland Secru'ity Act of 2002: Report Together with Minority and Dissenting Views 222, Select Committee on Homeland Security: 107th Congress, U.S. House of Representatives (2002) (H. Rpt. 107-609).

process and threats from new and emerging technologies. But information sharing and cooperation between state, local, and tribal arithorities and federal agencies, including all DHS officials, is just as vital, and perhaps even more vital, today. Therefore, for FY 2020, we have identified four priority areas, tied to some of the most serioris tbreats that DHS would like to see addressed by state and local governments, that recipients will need to address with their HSGP funds. Perhaps most importantly, we will be focused on forging partnerships to strengthen information sharing and collaboration in each of these priority areas and looking for recipients to remove barriers to communication and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies.
Objectives
The objective of the FY 2020 HSGP is to fiind state, local, tribal, and territorial efforts to prevent terrorism and prepare the Nation for threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of the United States.
Priorities
Given the evolving threat landscape, it is incumbent ripon DHS/FEMA to continuously evaluate the national risk profile and set priorities that help ensure appropriate allocation of scarce security dollars. In assessing the national risk profile for FY 2020, four priority areas attract the most concern.
And due to the rinique threats that the nation faces in 2020, DHS/FEMA has determined that tliese four priorities should be addressed by allocating specific percentages of HSGP funds to each of these four areas, for a total of 20 percent. The following are the four priority areas for FY 2020, along with the corresponding amount of HSGP funds that each recipient will be required to propose for each priority area in order to obtain a full allocation of HSGP funds:
1) Enhancing cybersecurity (including election security) - 5 percent 2) Enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded places (inclriding election security) - 5 percent;
3) Enhancing information and intelligence sharing and cooperation with federal agencies, including DHS - 5 percent;
4) Addressing emergent threats (e.g., uiunai'ined aerial systems [UASs], etc.) - 5 percent.
Faiture by a recipient to propose investments and projects that align with these four priority areas and spending requirements may result in a recipient receiving a reduced grant award. DHS/FEMA may not award funding in excess of a recipient's minimum allocation threshold2 to the extent that investments and projects do not align with these four priority areas.
A State or high-risk urban area may allocate the remaining 80 percent to gaps identified through their Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) and Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) Process.
Likewise, there are several enduring security needs that crosscut the homeland security enterprise, and to which that States should consider allocating funding across core capability gaps and national 2 The Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended, allocates for each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico
0.35 percent of the total funds appropt'iated for grants under section 2003 and section 2004 of the Act, and O.08 percent for each of the four territories (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands).

priorities. The following are enduring needs tliat help recipients implement a comprehensive approach to securing communities:
Effective plaru'iing;
Training and awareness campaigns;
Equipment and capital projects; and
Exercises.
The table below provides a breakdown of the FY 2020 SHSP and UASI priorities (the focus of OPSG remains unique to border security), showing the core capabilities enhanced and lifelines supported, as well as examples of eligible project types for each area. A detailed description of allowable investments for each project type is included in the Preparedness Grants Manual. DHS/FEMA anticipate that in future years, national priorities will contimie to be included and will be updated as the threats evolve and as capability gaps are closed. Applicants are strongly encouraged to begin planning to sustain existing capabilities through other funding mechanisms.

Starting in FY 2020, each SHSP and UASI recipient is required to submit an Investment Justification (U) for each of the four national priorities identified above. Under the Cybersecurity investment and the Soft Target/Crowded Places investments one project for each of those two investments must be to support enhancing election security. As a reminder, all SHSP- and UASI-funded projects must have a demonstrated nexus to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to acts of terrorism. However, such projects may simultaneously suppoit enhanced preparedness for disasters unrelated to acts of terrorism.
DHS/FEMA also requires SHSP and UASI recipients (e.g., states, territories, and high-risk rirban areas) to complete a THIRA/SPR and prioritize grant funding to support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities that address national priorities and/or support enduring needs. Additional infornnation on the THIRA/SPR process, including other National Preparedness System (NPS) tools and resorirces, can be found at littps://svwvv.fema.gov/national-preparedness-system.

SHSP Allocations
For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award SHSP funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review process. The following table identifies the targeted SHSP allocation ranges for each State based on DHS/FEMA's relative risk methodology pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. States are strongly encouraged to apply for funding at least 15% over the high end of their target allocation range as ineffective applications will not be funded. Final award amounts will be based on DHS/FEMA's evatuation of the effectiveness of proposed investments and projects.
Regardless of the amorint of a State's targeted SHSP allocation range, each State must include a separate investment for each of the four national priority areas identified in the Priorities section, above. The funding level in each national priority area investment must equal or exceed the percentage for that respective national priority area, calculated as a percentage of the State's targeted SHSP allocation in the table below. For the states that receive a target allocation in excess of the minimum, the percentage is calculated against the high end of the range, as displayed in the table below. DHS/FEMA will make final award determinations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the State's application as described in Section D, below. Final awards are based on whether the State has proposed investments in each of the four national priority areas in an amount equal to or greater than the percentage for that priority area and based on the effectiveness review.

UASI Allocations
Eligible candidates for the FY 2020 UASI program are identified in the table below. Eligibility has been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States, in accordance with the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Detailed information on MSAs is publicly available from the United States Census Bureari at https://wsvw.census.zov/pro@rams- surveys/metro-nffcro.html. THIRA/SPR results do not impact grant allocation or award.
For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award UASI funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds ripon completion of the application review process. The following table identifies the targeted UASI allocations for each high-risk urban area based on DHS/FEMA's relative risk methodology prirsuant to the Homelarzd Security Act of 2002, as amended. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for funding at least 15% over the high end of their target allocation range as ineffective applications will not be funded.
Final award amounts will be based on DHS/FEMA's evaluation of the effectiveness of proposed investments and projects.
In its application, each high-risk urban area, through the State, must include a separate investment for each of the four national priority areas identified in the Priorities section, above.
The funding level in each national priority area investment must equal or exceed the percentage for that respective national priority area, calculated as a percentage of the high-risk urban area's targeted UASI allocation in the table below. The percentage is calculated against the high end of the range, as displayed in the table below. DHS/FEMA will make final award deteiminations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the high-risk urban area's application as described in Section D, below. Final awards are based on whether the State has proposed investments in each of the forir national priority areas in an amount equal to or greater than the percentage for that priority area and based on the effectiveness review.

OPSG Allocations
For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award OPSG funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed rise of grant funds upon completion of the application review process. The FY 2020 0PSG risk assessment is designed to identify the risk to border security and to assist with the distribution of funds for the grant program. Funding rinder OPSG is distributed based on the risk to the security of the border and the effectiveness of the proposed projects. Entities eligible for funding are the state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies

that are located along the border of the United States. DHS/FEMA will make final award detertninations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiyeness of the State's application as described in Section D, below. The THIRA/SPR process is not required for OPSG.
For'the purposes of OPSG, the risk is defined as the potential for an adverse outcome assessed as a function of tbreats, vulnerabilities, and conseqriences associated with an incident, event, or occurrence.
Based upon ongoing intelligence analysis and extensive security reviews, DHS/CBP continues to focus the bulk of OPSG funds based upon risk analyses. The risk model used to allocate OPSG funds considers the potential risk that certain threats pose to border security and estimates the relative risk faced by a given area. In evaluating risk, DHS/CBP considers intelligence, sit-national awareness, criminal trends, and statistical data specific to each of the border sectors, and the potential impacts that these threats pose to the security of the border area. For vulnerability and consequence, DHS/CBP considers the expected impact and consequences of successful border events occurring in specific areas.
Threat and vulnerability are evaluated based on specific operational data from DHS/CBP.
Threat components present in each of the sectors are used to determine the overall threat score.
These components are terrorism, criminal aliens, drug trafficking organizations, and alien smuggling organizations.
Effectiveness of the proposed inveshnents will be evaluated based on the recipient's investment strategy, budget, collaboration, and past performance.

All assets supported in part or entirely with FY 2020 HSGP funding must be readily deployable and NIMS-typed when possible to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. In addition, funding may be used for the sustainment of core capabilities that, while they may not be physically deployable, support national response capabilities, such as Geographic/Geospatial Infortnation Systems (GIS), interoperable communications systems, capabilities as defined under the Mitigation Mission Area of the Goal, and fusion centers.
Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA) Per section 2006 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended (6 U.S.C. § 607), DHS/FEMA is required to ensure that at least 25 percent of grant funding appropriated for grants awarded rinder HSGP's authorizing statute are rised for law enforcement terrorism prevention activities. DHS/FEMA meets this requirement, in pait, by requiring all recipients allocate at least 25 percent of the combined HSGP funds allocated under SHSP and UASI towards law enforcement terrorism prevention activities, as defined in 6 U.S.C. § 607. The LETPA allocation can be from SHSP, UASI, or both. The 25 percent LETPA allocation may be met by funding projects in any combination of the four national priority areas
FY 2020 HSGP NOFO 456
EXHIBIT F
identified above and any other investments. And the 25 percent LETPA allocation is in addition to the 80 percent pass-tbrorigh requirement to local units of governrnent and tribes, referenced below.
The National Prevention Framework describes those activities that should be executed upon the discovery of intelligence or infotmation regarding an imminent threat to the homeland, to thwart an initial or follow-on terrorist attack and provides guidance to ensure the Nation is prepared to prevent, avoid, or stop a threatened or actual act of terrorism. Activities outlined in the National Prevention Framework are eligible for use as LETPA-focused funds. Also, where capabilities are shared with the protection mission area, the National Protection Framework activities are also eligible. All other terrorism prevention activities proposed for fiinding under LETPA must be approved by the FEMA Administrator.

Priority Investments (SHSP)
States are encouraged to review the Strategic Framework for Countering Tenoiism and Targeted Violence when developing investments.
Cybersecurity Investment Justification (5 percent)
At least one investment must be in support of the state's cybersecurity efforts. The investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for cybersecurity, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA's evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Cybersecurity investments must support the secririty and fiinctioning of critical infrastructure and core capabilities as they relate to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism. Recipients and subrecipients of FY 2020 HSGP grant awards will be required to complete the 2020 Nationwide Cybersecut'ity Review (NCSR), enabling agencies to bencbmark and measure progress of improving their cybersecurity posture. The CIO, CISO or equivalent for each recipient should complete the NCSR. If there is no CIO or CISO, the most senior cybersecurity professional should complete the assessment. The NCSR is available at no cost to the user and takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete. The 2020 NCSR will be open from October - December 2020.
* The NCSR is an annual reqriirement for recipients and subrecipients of HSGP funds.
Additionally, FEMA recognizes that some subawards will not be issued rintil after the NCSR has closed. In such cases, such subrecipients will be required to complete the first available NCSR offered after the subaward has been issued by the pass-through entity. * Although not required by SLTTs that did not receive HSGP fiinds, all SLTT agencies with preparedness responsibilities are highly encouraged to participate and complete the NCSR to evalriate their cybersecurity posture. For detailed information and backgrorind on the NCSR, please see Information Bulletin 439.
In Jamiary 2017, the Department of Homeland Security designated the infrastructure used to administer the Nation's elections as critical infrastructure. This designation recognizes that the United States' election infrastructure is of such vital importance to the American way of life that its incapacitation or destniction would have a devastating effect on the country. Securing election infrastructure and ensuring an election free from foreign interference are national security priorities. Threats to election systems are constantly evolving, so defending these systems requires constant vigilance, innovation, and adaptation.
Given the importance of the Nation's election infrastnicture, and the multiple and evolving threats to that infrastructure, at least one project within this investment must be in support of the state's efforts to enhance election security. Additional resources and infoimation regarding election secririty are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrasti'ucture Security Agency.
FY 2020 HSGP NOFO 462
EXHIBIT F
Soft Target Investment Justification (5 percent)
Soft targets and crowded places are increasingly appealing to terrorists and other extremist actors because of their relative accessibility and the large number of potential targets. This challenge is complicated by the prevalent rise of simple tactics and less sophisticated attacks. Segments of our society are inherently open to the general public, and by nature of their purpose do not incorporate strict security measrires. Given the increased empliasis by tei'rorists and other extremist actors to leverage less sophisticated methods to inflict harm in public areas, it is vital that the priblic and private sectors collaborate to enhance secui'ity of locations such as transportation centers, parks, restaurants, shopping centers, special event venues, and similar facilities.
Given the increased risk to soft targets and crowded places, at least one investment must be in support of the state's efforts to protect soft targets/crowded places. Additionally, the proposed investment tnust meet or exceed the FY 2020 national prioiity percentage for soft targets/crowded places and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA's evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Additional resources and information regarding securing soft targets and crowded places are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. States are encouraged to engaged DHS' Protective Security Advisors' security assessments of soft targets to ensure that recommendations from those assessments are taken into consideration when allocating grant funding.
As noted above, given the importance of the Nation's election infrastructure, and the multiple and evolving threats to that infrastructure, at least one project within this investment must be in support of the state's efforts to enhance election security. Additional resources and information regarding election security are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security z%ency.
Information Sharing and Cooperation Investment Justification (5 percent) Effective homeland security operations rely on timely information sharing and actionable intelligence to accurately assess and prevent threats against the United States. Accordingly, DHS works diligently to enhance intelligence collection, integration, analysis, and infoimation sharing capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior leaders receive actionable intelligence and information necessary to inform their decisions and operations. A critical and statutorily charged mission of DHS is to deliver intelligence and information to federal, state, Local, and tribal governrnents and private sector partners. Cooperation and information sharing among state, federal, and local partners across all areas of the homeland security enterprise, including counterterrorism, cybersecurity, border security, immigration enforcement, and other areas is critical to homeland security operations and the prevention of, preparation for, protection against, and responding to acts of terrorism.
Given the importance of information sharing and collaboration to effective homeland security sotutions, at least one investment rmist be in support of the state's efforts to enhance information sharing and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies. As noted above, this requirement must include at least one dedicated fusion center project. Additional instructions on development of the fusion center project can be found below. Applicants must justify persuasively how they

will contribute to the information sharing and collaboration purposes of the investment and a culture of national preparedness, including how they will identify, address, and overcome any existing laws, policies, and practices that prevent information sharing. Additionally, the proposed investment mtist meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for information sharing and cooperation with DHS, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA's evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a Ml allocation of SHSP funds. Additional resources and information regarding collaboration and information sharing are available through the Department's Office of Intelligence and Analysis.
Emerging Threats Investment Justification (5 percent) The spread of rapidly evolving and innovative technology, equipment, techniques, and la'iowledge presents new and emerging dangers for homeland security in the years ahead.
Tenorists remain intent on acquiring weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities, and rogue nations and non-state actors are aggressively working to develop, acquire, and modernize WMDs that they could use against the Homeland. Meanwhile, biological and chemical materials and technologies with dual use capabilities are more accessible throughout the global market.
Due to the proliferation of such information and technologies, rogue nations and no-state actors have more opportunities to develop, acquire, and use WMDs than ever before. Similarly, the proliferation of unmanned aircraft systems, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology increase opporhinities of threat actors to acqriire and use these capabilities against the United States and its interests.
Given the increased risk of emerging threats, at least one investment must be in suppoit of the state's efforts to address emerging threats. Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for emerging threats, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA's evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a fitll allocation of SHSP funds. Additional resources and information regarding emerging THREATS are available through the Counterino Weapons of Mass Destniction Office and the Cybersecurity and Infrastntcture Security Agency.
