State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) 2
State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) 2 : "The State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) is a primary funding source for building homeland security capabilities that align with the National Preparedness Guidelines (NPG) at the state and local levels. States and localities use SHSP funds to build a wide range of homeland security capabilities. Most capabilities specific to terrorism are also applicable to large-scale natural disasters and public health emergencies. Grant allocations are based on an analysis of risk and effectiveness but each state is assured a minimum allocation. Projects funded under SHSP support building and sustaining capabilities at the state and local levels through planning, equipment, training, and exercise activities and helps states to implement the strategic goals and objectives included in state homeland security strategies".

David Paulison, Administrator, on the Fiscal Year 2009 President's Budget Before the Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, U.S. House of Representatives, March 11, 2008, p. 4)
