BACKGROUND:

The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is responsible for designing and implementing homeland security initiatives and ensuring that the state is ready to protect lives and property by effectively preparing for, preventing, responding to, and recovering from all threats, crimes, hazards, and emergencies. To help fulfill this mission, Cal OES administers a pass-through program of federal homeland security grant funds to local public agencies through California. This program is critical to maintaining the quality and quantity of homeland security initiative programs provided within the County.  
  
The funding will allow for enhanced coordination and communication among the disciplines to maximize protective actions, emergency preparedness, and the effective response to emergencies and disasters. The initial total grant program allocation provided to the County by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and sub-granted through the State of California is $1,257,540. The grant application requires the County to adopt a resolution (attached) appointing an authorized agent to act on behalf of the Board of Supervisors by executing any actions necessary for each application and sub-grant. The application also requires the applicants to make certain grant assurances prescribing requirements to which the County will be held accountable.
