BACKGROUND:
Since 2001, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office has applied for and received State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) funds from the State of California Office of Emergency Services.
The SHSGP is a core assistance federal grant program that provides funds to build capabilities at the state and local levels, and to implement the goals and objectives included in the State Preparedness report based on identified threats and hazards.
The FY 2021 SHSGP funds have been used to prevent terrorism and to prepare for threats and hazards that pose a risk to the security of the region and the nation.
DISCUSSION:
Changes in local, state, national, and international conditions have precipitated the need for reviewing, updating, and improving current preparedness, response, and recovery plans and procedures. Funding from the FY 2021 SHSGP will be used for asset management software, a mobile command and communications vehicle, mass casualty incident and cyber security exercises, hazmat team equipment upgrades, Urban Search and Rescue equipment, and California State Fire Marshall Basic Open Water Rescue Training.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Appropriation Transfer Request accepts unanticipated revenue of $835,489 from the State of California Office of Emergency Services. The term of the FY 2021 State Homeland Security Grant is from September 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024. There is no Net County Cost.
