The commission authorized county staff to apply for three grants to support hazardous‑materials response and emergency management operations.
Justin summarized the grants: the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) grant is an 80/20 award with a total award of $3,200 (the county’s match would be $640); funds are intended to cover hazardous materials team travel to a public safety summit. Justin said the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) typically supports a portion of the emergency management wage (last year’s award was $34,700 with a county match). He also described the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), a 100% grant used to sustain the hazmat team and related capacities; Justin reported Carbon County’s portion at $122,174.84 for the current year.
Commissioners moved and seconded a motion authorizing Justin to apply for the HMEP, EMPG and SHSP grants; the motion carried.
