NSGP & the National Preparedness Goal
From natural to manmade disasters, nonprofit organizations have an important role in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from an incident, leading to efforts at the local, state, and federal levels for incorporating nonprofits into the emergency management framework. As a part of this push, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through the National Preparedness Goal, has outlined a “whole community” approach to emergency management, which includes both traditional response agencies as well as nontraditional partners such as nonprofit organizations. The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is a key effort towards realizing the National Preparedness Goal and encouraging whole community preparedness. The NSGP provides support to nonprofits deemed high risk for a terrorist attack by supplying funding to enhance the safety and security of an organization.
