Background and Discussion:
This grant is funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security via the Office of the Governor, Homeland Security Grants Division and includes a suite of risk-based grants to assist state, local, tribal and territorial efforts in preventing, protecting against, mitigating, responding to and recovering from acts of terrorism and other threats related to interoperable communications. This grant provides grantees with the resources required for implementation of the National Preparedness System and working toward the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation. The County has received funding from this grant program since 2002.
Expected Impact:
If accepted, the County will utilize its residual balance of $116,104.39 of Urban Area Security Initiative funds for the Community Preparedness award, which will impact the County's ability to support the Houston UASI region by delivering outreach and training to all residents to build resilience and increase preparedness for terrorist attacks.
Alternative Options:
Without this funding the County would need to find alternate funding, possibly utilize general funds, to maintain a robust Homeland Security Program.
