BACKGROUND:

The Operational Area of Contra Costa County has received Emergency Management Performance Grant funds from the California Emergency Management Agency for several years. 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. Up to $50,000 from this grant will be passed on to other municipalities within the County. The total Emergency Management Performance Grant program allocation provided to the County by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and sub-granted through the State of California is $321,121.

The attached resolution is to comply with specific State of California requirements for Governing Body authorization.
