Purpose: The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) serves as the State Administrative Agency (SAA) for the oversight of the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP). FDEM is responsible for monitoring sub grantees and ascertaining that all fiscal, compliance, and programmatic responsibilities are fulfilled. Sub grantee monitoring is carried out through two means: office-based monitoring and onsite monitoring. Office-based monitoring is essentially ensuring all parts of the grant agreement are being met and documented, on schedule. This means both the programmatic and financial sides are routinely evaluated by the staff and management at FDEM. On-site monitoring involves an actual visit by programmatic reviewers to the project site of a grant. This involves travel to locations throughout Florida.

A Desk Monitoring letter will go out to the sub-recipient identifying any technical assistance provided during the call and documenting findings or concerns. The sub-recipient will have thirty days to respond to FDEM with a written plan to resolve any problems or provide the missing documentation.

The sub grantee will be provided with a pre-visit notification letter and packet with documents to help prepare for the visit. Delinquent quarterly reports must be submitted prior to the on-site visit. A major portion of the meeting involves discussions about project implementation such as milestones, timeline, rate of funds expenditure, project operations, performance measures and evaluation, etc. At the end of the on-site visit, DEM staff will conduct an exit interview with sub grantee officials to discuss findings and to clarify any corrective action items for the sub grantee or DEM to pursue after the visit. If any outstanding financial, compliance and programmatic issues are identified, the sub grantee is required to submit a Corrective Action Plan within 30 days of receipt of the Post-visit Letter.
