Emergency Services. The EMPG grant is designed to assist state and local emergency management and disaster preparedness programs with employment and development of emergency management staff, development of emergency plans and procedures, and preparing cities for disaster response. The EMPG grant is distributed by population to counties and cities that maintain emergency management staff and meet training, exercising, and reporting requirements. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner Department is the lead agency for the County.
In March 2023, the Police Department submitted an initial application for the FY 2023 EMPG Grant and has been awarded $46,342. The Police Department will utilize this funding to purchase and install two security video cameras on Bristol Street to enhance public safety. The grant requires a dollar-for-dollar match. Existing Police Department funding of the Emergency Operations Coordinator position fulfills the requirement for matching funds.
