FISCAL YEAR 1989 COMPREHENSIVE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT ARTICLES

These articles, along with all relevant portions of the Standard Assurances
(Part V of the Application), are a binding part of the Agreement and are uniform
for all States. They are compatible with Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) and other applicable Federal statutes, regulations, and guidance and
adapt these requirements to the Comprehensive Cooperative Agreement.

Article I. Purpose

A. The purposes of this Agreement are: (1) to assist in consolidating a
statewide Integrated Emergency Management System dealing with emergencies
ranging from those caused by natural and technological hazards to conventional
war and nuclear attack, with emphasis on developing capabilities to save lives
and protect property; (2) to facilitate the delivery and use of authorized and
appropriated FEMA financial and technical assistance to State and local govern-
ments; and (3) to enable the State to exercise management discretion in achieving
the specified and agreed upon Objectives.

B. This Agreement provide~ a funding, operating, and reporting instrument for
the accomplishment of agreed-upon activities and products under the included
program activities or funding sources. The Agreement also allows the State
discretion to make use of the program resources in the accomplishment of agreed
upon objectives and some flexibility in the distribution of resources under
the Agreement, within the limits of Federal law and accountability requirements.
The Agreement, in particular, requires that the emergency management programs
apply to preparedness for strategic enemy attack as well as to natural and
technological disaster, and that other disaster preparedness and mitigation
measures can contribute to nuclear attack preparedness and vice versa.
The term "attack," as defined in II. B. below, covers the following means:
sabotage or by use of bombs, shellfire, or atomic radiological, chemical,
bacteriological, or biological means or other weapons or processes, including
a strategic and/or tactical nuclear strike on the United States.

Article II. Scope of Work

A. Objectives to be accomplished and project results to be produced by the
State or recipient are specified in each program statement of work as agreed
to in legal obligation by the Signatory Officials on the Assistance Award/
Amendment, FEMA Form 76-10. Local governments, likewise, must be legally
bound by agreements with the State for the performance of Objectives for which
they receive funds through the State from FEMA under this Agreement. Statements
of work must clearly describe objectives, their expected end products, and
milestones to be met. The statements of work were developed from requirements
set forth in the Annual Program Requirements Annexes.
