## Objectives

??The Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) is one of four grant programs that constitute DHS/FEMA’s focus on transportation infrastructure security activities. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by the Administration to help strengthen the nation’s critical infrastructure against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks. PSGP provides funds to state, local, and private sector maritime partners to support increased port-wide risk management and protect critical surface transportation infrastructure from acts of terrorism, major disasters, and other emergencies. Performance metrics for this program are: 1) Procured equipment placed into services; 2) Threats/Risks/Vulnerability assessments conducted and documented; 3) Emergency plans developed and documented; 4) Exercises executed; 5) Resources/capabilities tested; 6) After/action reports developed (post-real-life events and exercise);
7) State and local partners trained; and 8) State and local participants coordinate with USCG and Area Maritime Security Committee (AMSC).?
