This grant, offered by the Department of Homeland Security’s Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), supports the “Securing the Cities Program.” Its primary aim is to enhance radiological and nuclear detection capabilities in high-risk urban areas, starting with the New York City region. The program unfolds in three phases: initial capability development, enhanced integration of local and federal efforts, and long-term sustainability through indirect DNDO support. Currently, the NYC region is entering Phase II, necessitating continued funding. This assistance will enable regional stakeholders to implement crucial passive radiation and nuclear detection (PRND) operational capabilities across key pathways including roadways, light and heavy rail, and maritime routes. The overarching goal is to integrate the NYC region more fully into the Domestic Global Nuclear Detection Architecture.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | Department of Homeland Security (DHS) strongly encourages a regional approach to domestic radiological and nuclear (rad/nuc) detection to reduce risk to major metropolitan areas. The effort covered by this announcement focuses on the New York City (NYC) region.
Eligible entities under this announcement are State or local units of government, interstate or intrastate entities, or special districts, who will work with governmental entities serving jurisdictions within 45 miles of NYC. An application package must include participation by the following jurisdictions: States of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut; NYC (New York City Police Department (NYPD), in particular), the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey (PANYNJ), and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). |

| Description: | The New York City and Jersey City/Newark UASI regions (collectively referred to as NYC region throughout the remainder of this document) was selected as the first Program location because it is the highest risk region in both Government and non-government risk analysis (Willis, Henry H., et. al., Estimating Terrorism Risk, RAND Corporation, 2005). DHS intends to support State and local operations for radiological and nuclear detection through a three-phased Securing the Cities program that would provide for the implementation of rad/nuc detection capabilities in all UASI Tier I regions. The three phases are described below.Phase- DNDO provides an initial operating capability for cities that is focused on satisfying the immediate needs of States and locals to develop a rad/nuc detection capability. DNDO will assist regional partners providing an increased understanding and awareness of the nuclear threat, enhanced regional capabilities to detect and interdict radiological threats, and increased cooperation and coordination among regional jurisdictions and agencies. Initial capabilities include development of concepts of operations and alarm adjudication protocols, deployment of equipment, training and exercise support, as well as technical program assistance.Phase II – DNDO provides additional resources emphasizing development of enhanced detection, analysis, communication, and coordination functionality that better integrates State and local capabilities with Federal government activities. In this phase, DNDO will leverage capabilities established in Phase I to partner with State and local jurisdictions to ensure a national coordinated response. In addition, DNDO will work with the STC partners to define end states for DNDO direct support to S&L activities. Phase III – DNDO provides indirect support to sustain the program through alarm adjudication, training, exercise and subject matter expert support. State and local participants will maintain and increase their developed capabilities using local funds or other Federal government grant funds.This phased Securing the Cities program will enable the NYC region to become more integrated into the domestic Global Nuclear Detection Architecture with continued funding to build out the mobile portion of their architecture with greater federal oversight and concurrence of program decisions. NYC is now entering phase two and as such funding assistance is necessary to provide the ability for all regional stakeholders to continue to implement regional PRND operational capabilities along roadway, light and heavy rail, and maritime pathways. DNDO anticipates phase II activities in the NYC region to last approximately 4 years. |
