The City has been successful in obtaining $9,100 under the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP). These grant funds are allocated between the County of Los Angeles and those cities recognized by the County of Los Angeles Operational Area (OA), including the City of Glendale. The grant is administered by the County of Los Angeles. These funds are available for purchases of approved equipment, supplies, and for the training of first responders that meet identified national, state, county, and local priorities. 95% of all rescues in times of disaster or national emergency are performed by spontaneous rescuers. This means that neighbors will rely on neighbors for basic life needs including securing homes, providing shelter, managing medical needs, and communicating with first responders regarding community needs. The funding received will help fund the backfill cost associated with staff participation in the Mobex training, which is provided to help enhance first responders’ coordination and practice readiness responding to threats, hazards, and emergencies.
