    Summary

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will support State and local operations for Radiological/Nuclear (R/N) detection through a four-phased Securing the Cities (STC) Program. Funding provides for the implementation of R/N detection capabilities, including the following stages:

    • Phase I Engagement (12-months): Applicants engage directly with regional principal partners and operational partners to establish a regional program management structure, determine baseline capabilities, operational requirements, and gaps. Key milestones of Phase I include establishment of the regional program management office and governance structure, designation of all regional partners, and identification of regional requirements for training, equipment, and reporting/information exchange.
    • Phase II Implementation (36-months): Applicants meet immediate regional requirements to establish or enhance Initial Operational Capabilities to detect and report the presence of R/N materials that are out of regulatory control. Key milestones of Phase II include completion of a regional operations plan and proficient responders using R/N detection equipment in the field for Steady State/Enhanced Steady State operations and reporting in accordance with the Domestic Detection Concept of Operations and regional protocols.
    • Phase III Integration (12-months): Applications will be fully mission capable and successfully demonstrate the ability to integrate into a national detection framework. To that end, the region will conduct a series of exercises commencing with a table top exercises and culminating with a full-scale exercise that exercises the regional detection and reporting capability in the context of an operational scenario that leads up to and includes a federally led operation.
    • Phase IV Sustainment: At the five year point, applicants enter the sustainment phase. DHS will continue to provide direct technical and financial support to sustain the regional capability. A region is expected to execute all plans supporting sustainment and comply with all reporting criteria.

    NOTE: Portions of the phases will overlap and may be performed concurrently. 


    Eligible costs include (1) Planning and Organization; (2) Equipment; (3) Training; and (4) Exercises.
