Grant Notes
This category allows for special purpose watercraft for homeland security purposes, including prevention and response. Allowable uses for CBRNE terrorism prevention and response watercraft include protection of ports, critical waterways, dams, reservoirs, rivers, and large lakes. To be eligible, these waterways must be identified as a critical asset to the state through a vulnerability assessment. Allowable costs for this watercraft category include the purchase of watercraft, as well as customary and specialized equipment necessary to enable such watercraft to support the homeland security mission. Licensing, registration fees, insurance and all ongoing operational expenses are the responsibility of the grantee or local units of government and are not allowable under these grant programs. Prior to obligating funds in this equipment category for missions other than port security, grantees must obtain a written waiver from FEMA by consulting with their Program Analyst and providing a detailed justification for the request.
