We are seeking to provide funds to increase the ability for agencies to support communities responding and preparing for moments of natural, other disasters, or emergencies. This means using funds to support communities experiencing crisis, but also creating projects that seek to ensure that communities are provided the resources and education to be prepared before the crisis occurs.
There is $70,000 funds available to fund 5 projects, with maximum request of $14,000.
We are focusing funds on response/preparedness projects that address high level priorities identified by our Emergency Preparedness Team in their 2024 Hazard Vulnerability/Risk Assessment (HVA). These priorities include:
- Cyber Attack
- Epidemic
- Computer Failure
- Supply Disruption
- Power Outage (Sustained)
- Air Quality Emergency
- Biological Disease Outbreak – Pandemic flu
- Flooding
- Ice Storm
- Extreme Heat
- Major Communications Disruption
- Crisis Communication
Examples of response resources:
- Back-up generator for moments of power outages
- Resources for individuals during ice storms or extreme heat
- Air filters to improve and address air quality
Examples of preparedness resources:
- Community outreach and education training around subjects of cyber security or home improvements to anticipate inclement weather
- Development of educational toolkits to support awareness of addressing emerging issues like pandemic or epidemic through vaccination
- Encouraging people to have a preparedness kit in their home
