Provides authorized uses of grant assistance, including: (1) funding additional law enforcement, fire, and other emergency response resources and equipment; and (2) improving cyber and infrastructure security. Requires one percent of grant funds to be reserved for Indian tribes.

Allocates funds for discretionary grants to high-threat, high-risk urban areas for their homeland security needs.

Earmarks funds for a flexible emergency assistance fund for States and local governmental units that incur extraordinary homeland security costs.

Directs the Department of Homeland Security to develop national homeland security preparedness, first responder training, and equipment standards, and best practices for the use of funds authorized and allocated under this Act.
