Agenda Item Text:
Approve the 2017 State Homeland Security Grant Program award of $5,000 to fund three Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT) training courses throughout the 2017-2018 grant cycle.
Background:
Cochise County Office of Emergency Services has been awarded a $5000 grant to fund three Citizen Corps CERT training classes to be held in 2017 and 2018. The purpose of the CERT courses is to teach local citizen volunteers basic emergency preparedness and response skills to help their family and neighbors during large-scale emergencies. The grant will provide for instructor compensation and course materials/supplies. Courses will be taught throughout the county through sponsoring public safety agencies.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If awarded, three CERT courses will be scheduled during the 2017/2018 federal fiscal year.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, CERT courses will not be held in Cochise County.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
One original signed grant agreement needs to be returned to Norm Sturm for submission to ADOHS.
