The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) FEMA Center for Faith-based & Neighborhood Partnerships is one of the12 federal agency offices/centers under President Obama’s Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. The role of the DHS Center is to maximize the appropriate participation of faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs) in Departmental programs. The mission of the DHS FEMA Center is to build resilient communities among faith-based and community organizations. In collaboration with federal, state and local partners, the DHS FEMA Center supports the Department's strategy of sustainable risk management by building capacity and resiliency among faith-based and community organizations. One of the DHS FEMA Center's strategic activities is to co-sponsor joint training and technical assistance efforts with the Department and other local, state and federal government entities to build the capacity of faith-based and community organizations to engage in Department-related activities. 2.0 SCOPE In January 2013, as part of his “Now Is the Time” Initiative, President Obama released his 23-point Plan to Reduce Gun Violence. That plan includes direction to the Department of Homeland Security to develop a guide for high-quality emergency planning for houses of worship. The DHS/FEMA Office of Counterterrorism & Security Preparedness (FEMA OCSP) has been charged with providing technical assistance to houses of worship in the use of the guide. FEMA OCSP is seeking to develop a comprehensive understanding of emergency planning among houses of worship related to all-hazards response and recovery. Secondly, the task includes development of a technical assistance curriculum and/or related materials that will be used to support houses of worship as they seek to develop high-quality emergency plans. DHS Center for Faith-based & Neighborhood Partnerships and FEMA Individual & Community Preparedness Division will support FEMA OCSP in this effort. Staff from these three entities will serve as advisory committee for this project. 3.0 SPECIFIC TASKS The specific tasks are: a.
