ABSTRACT:
The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) is a Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) pass -through grant that provides funding for local
emergency management programs. The funding will be used to support overtime for
emergency management staff.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
b) Accept the grant funding in the amount of $13,270 to be used in support of the City of
Newport Beach's emergency management program; and
c) Approve Budget Amendment No. 24-073 to accept grant funds from FEMA through
the County of Orange, increase revenue estimates by $13,270 in account 0103511-
431250 and increase expenditures appropriations by $13,270 in account 0103511-
821005.
DISCUSSION:
The EMPG program provides funding to states to support state, local, tribal and territorial
governments in preparing for all hazards, as authorized by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.). Title VI of the Stafford
Act authorizes FEMA to make grants for the purpose of providing a system of emergency
preparedness for the protection of life and property in the United States from hazards and
to vest responsibility for emergency preparedness jointly in the federal government and
the states and their political subdivisions. The purpose of EMPG is to sustain and improve
comprehensive emergency management programs at the state, tribal, territorial
governments and local levels from all man-made and natural disasters through the
prevention, mitigation, response and recovery for all hazard events.
