Counties must be able to <br />prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against natural and man-made disasters/ <br />emergencies. 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 (17 -FG -P9-10-40-01-104) is $77,343.00. EMPG allowable costs are <br />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, 2016 through June 30, 2017. 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 />198 <br />
