Houston UASI Multi-Year Regional Training & Exercise Plan

2017-2020

“Securing the Houston Urban Area”

PREFACE

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Preparedness Directorate’s Office of Grants and Training requires that every State and Urban Area conduct a Multi-Year Training and Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW) annually. As a result, the Houston Urban Area has conducted a Training and Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW) and has since produced this Regional Training and Exercise Plan (RTEP).

The Houston Urban Area Regional Training and Exercise Plan is the roadmap to accomplish the goals described in the region’s Homeland Security Strategy. The Houston Urban Area has developed a comprehensive region-wide approach to homeland security planning, equipment purchases, innovative training, and realistic exercises to strengthen emergency prevention and response capabilities. Training and exercises play a crucial role in the UASI strategy, by providing the region a means of attaining, practicing, validating, and improving new capabilities.

Houston Urban Area Definition The Houston Urban Area is comprised of the City of Houston, Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Galveston and Brazoria Counties. This area is entirely situated within the Houston‐Galveston Area Council (“H‐GAC”) region.

Purpose

The purpose of the RTEP is to provide a follow-on companion document to the Houston Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. The plan is a living document that is updated and refined annually. The RTEP provides a roadmap for the region to follow in accomplishing the goals as described in the Houston Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy through effective trainings and exercises.

The RTEP will assist in the prevention of duplications of efforts, increase efficiency of training and exercises and ensure resources are not overextended during training and exercises.

Each goal is linked to a corresponding National priority, State priority, and, if applicable, an Improvement Plan (IP) action from a previous years’ After Action Review (AAR). The goal is further linked to the associated core capabilities that would facilitate accomplishment of the priority, and the training and exercises that will assist the region in achieving that priority.

Included in the RTEP is the training and exercise schedule, which provides graphic illustration of the proposed activities, scheduled for the years 2017-2020. This plan represents the natural progression of training and exercises that should take place in accordance with the progressive building-block approach.
