Summary Explanation/Background
The Office of Emergency Management recommends approval of the above motions.
Pursuant to Section 252.373, Florida Statutes and Rule Chapter 27P-19, Florida Administrative Code, the Florida Division of Emergency Management provides annual County base grant funding from the Emergency Management Preparedness and Assistance (EMPA)Trust Fund. This funding supports local emergency management programs, including planning and training activities.
EMPA funds support all phases of emergency management: preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. The grant will fund two existing positions in the Emergency Management Section. A cost-share match, met by the agency's annual budget, is required.
The state-provided Grant Agreement includes clauses deviating from standard County terms, particularly indemnification, reporting, and audit obligations.
