Agenda Item Text:
Approve Subrecipient Agreement for the Emergency Management Performance Grant EMF-2023-APP-00008-S01 with the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, in the amount of $146,489.50, effective July 1, 2023 through July 1, 2024.
Background:
The Cochise County Emergency Management Department is a General Fund department with a 50% match from the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) with the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (AZDEMA). Cochise County provides for Emergency Management pursuant to ARS 26-308, County Resolution No. R79-5, and County Policy 2218.
The Emergency Management Department uses these funds in implementing national preparedness plans and goals through projects which support planning, mitigation, response and recovery. Planning projects include updates of the Emergency Operations Plan and Logistics Distribution Plan. Mitigation projects include the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Response projects include the mass alerting system, and interoperability communications via the Mobile Communications Unit. An integrated preparedness planning program is also core to the grant and Emergency Management Department. Trainings facilitated by Emergency Management include: Incident Command System; Emergency Operations Center; Incident Management Team; and Public Information. Exercises include: workshops, table-top exercises; and function/full-scale exercises.
The grant is effective from July 1, 2023 to July 1, 2024. The Cochise County Emergency Management grant budget is $292,979.00, with a 50% match of $146,489.50 provided by Cochise County General Fund and the EMPG 50% match of $146,489.50. Two full-time employees are funded via the County General Fund and EMPG matches.
