Community Economic Adjustment Assistance for Responding to Threats to the Resilience of a Military Installation

 

Assist State and local governments to review existing capabilities supporting military installations and develop strategies to protect resources necessary to enhance resilience of military installations, defined as the capability of a military installation to avoid, prepare for, minimize the effect of, adapt to, and recover from extreme weather events, or from anticipated or unanticipated changes in environmental conditions, that do, or have the potential to, adversely affect the military installation or essential transportation, logistical, or other necessary resources outside of the military installation that are necessary in order to maintain, improve, or rapidly reestablish installation mission assurance and mission-essential functions, in order to maintain, improve, or rapidly reestablish installation mission assurance and mission-essential functions of the military installation in support of the National Defense Strategy. Grantees and participating governments are expected to adopt and implement the identified recommendations.

Any selection criteria will be indicated in each individual announcement. Planning, Community Development Respond to threats to military installation resilience caused by lack of necessary resources outside the military installation which can adversely affect the military installation and its operations supporting the National Defense Strategy through a military installation resilience review. The State and/or local government partners with the military installation to plan and carry out strategies promoting protection of critical resources adjacent to installations, ranges, and military flight corridors which are vital to military installation resilience. The review includes a strategic plan with specific implementation actions to ensure military installation resilience are compatible with, and supportive of, vital training, testing, and other military missions. Performance Reports: Performance reports are required. The frequency of these reports will be identified in the "Terms and Conditions" of the award. Performance monitoring may be required. The frequency of monitoring will be identified in the "Terms and Conditions" of the award. In accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR 200, Subpart F - Audit Requirements, nonfederal entities that expend financial assistance of $750,000 or more in Federal awards will have a single or a program-specific audit conducted for that year. Non-Federal entities that expend less than $750,000 a year in Federal awards are exempt from Federal audit requirements for that year, except as noted in 2 CFR 200.503 Standard Federal audit requirements apply, as appropriate to the type of recipient. These audits are due to the cognizant Federal agency, submitted through the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, not later than 9 months after the end of the Grantee's fiscal year Grant records shall be retained for a period of 3 years from the day the recipient submits its final expenditure report. If any litigation, claim, negotiation, audit, or other action involving the records has been started before the expiration of the 3-year period, the records must be retained until completion of the action and resolution of all issues which arise from it, or until the end of the regular 3-year period, whichever is later.

Fiscal Year 2020 Example Project 1. Enable civilian authorities to work with their local installation to identify high priority transportation corridors and impact to the local mission from vulnerability of these routes to water threats (e.g., storm surge, wave action, high water levels, tidal action, storm water, and groundwater) through a community-based planning process yielding actionable enhancements following consideration of environmentally and economically feasible improvements to optimize the sustainability of the local mission. Position civilian authorities to carry out solutions by leveraging public and private resources to enhance the resiliency of the local installation. Example Project 2. Enable civilian authorities to work with their local installation to conduct a resiliency review of an 11-mile water line as the main source of water for the local mission, including a business plan of investment and sustainment strategies to ensure the long-term reliability of the line. Local planning effort included development of a GIS-based query tool to improve awareness among stakeholders and an educational symposium to raise awareness across military and civilian stakeholders. Example Project 3. Enable civilian authorities to work with their local installation to conduct an energy and water resilience study to identify and analyze vulnerabilities to critical and aging infrastructure; points of failure (energy and water); transportation limitations; need for water importation; seismic, flood, wind, heat, extreme weather, drought and chronically overdrawn water table as natural risks; communication risks; and to create an action plan to support the continued mission readiness of the installation. July 2019 magnitude 6.4 and 7.1 earthquakes affected installation and region highlighting several vulnerabilities.
