Critical Emergency Supplies (SHSP and UASI)

Critical emergency supplies—such as shelf stable products, water, and basic medical supplies—are an allowable expense under the HSGP (SHSP and UASI only), THSGP, and EMPG Program. Each state, urban area, or tribe must have FEMA’s approval of a five-year viable inventory management plan before allocating grant funds for stockpiling purposes. The five-year inventory management plan should include a distribution strategy and related sustainment costs if the grant expenditure for these items is over $100,000.

If grant expenditures exceed the minimum threshold, the five-year inventory management plan will be developed by the recipient and monitored by FEMA. FEMA will provide program oversight and technical assistance as it relates to the purchase of critical emergency supplies. FEMA will establish guidelines and requirements for the purchase of these supplies and monitor development and status of the recipient’s inventory management plan.

Recipients are strongly encouraged to consult with their respective FEMA Regional Logistics Chief regarding disaster logistics-related issues. States are further encouraged to share their FEMA approved plan with local jurisdictions and tribes.
