EMPG Base Grant funding is intended to enhance county emergency management <br /> plans and programs that are consistent with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management <br /> Plan and Program (reference Rule Chapter 27P-6, Florida Administrative Code and Chapter 252, <br /> Florida Statutes). The Scope of Work recognizes that each recipient is at a varying level of <br /> preparedness, and it is understood that each county has a unique geography, faces unique threats <br /> and hazards, and serves a unique population. The State of Florida, Division of Emergency <br /> Management provides funding to Indian River County Emergency Management. The total funding <br /> allocated with this agreement (14-FG-XX-10-40-01-098) is $76,908.00. EMPG allowable costs <br /> are divided into the following categories as referenced in the 2016-2019 Emergency Management <br /> Strategic Plan: organizational, planning, training, exercise & equipment. <br /> FUNDING: <br /> This is a 100% funded agreement and no match is required by Indian River County. The term of <br /> the agreement is from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. The state recognizes line-item changes <br /> may occur after execution of the contract(i.e. due to cost savings or reprioritization by the FDEM), <br /> with their written approval. For these reasons, staff requests authorization to make these <br /> adjustments rather than return the funding for reallocation to other counties. <br /> 114 <br />
