RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/388 authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services' 2022 Emergency Management Performance Grant with an initial allocation of $422,126.00 to develop and maintain the level of capability to prepare for, mitigate, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters for the period July 1, 2022 through the end of grant funding availability.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$422,126.00; 100% Federal with the State as the fiscal agent. Grant requires in-kind match in the amount of the grant award, which is currently budgeted. (CFDA# 97.042)

BACKGROUND:

The mission of this grant is to assist State, Local and Tribal governments in preparing for all-hazards. This grant supports a comprehensive, all-hazards emergency preparedness system by building and sustaining emergency management capabilities locally. The Operational Area of Contra Costa County has received Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) funds from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services for several years.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The continuation of this program is critical to maintaining the quality and quantity of emergency management programs provided within the County. This funding will allow for enhanced coordination and communication among the disciplines within the Operational Area to maximize protective actions, emergency preparedness, and the effective response to emergencies and disasters. The initial EMPG program allocation provided to the County by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and sub-granted through the State of California is $422,126.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sheriff's Office will be unable to take advantage of this grant opportunity.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No Impact.
