Item No. 9
To: Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Timothy Riley, Fire Chief
Subject: Transfer Funds from Pacific Life Foundation and the Emergency Management
Assistance Grant Program to Fire Department Disaster Preparedness
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Budget Amendment No. BA -030, transferring grant funds from Pacific Life Foundation
and the Emergency Management Assistance Grant Program to the Fire Department for Disaster
Preparedness.
BACKGROUND
In an effort to support disaster preparedness programs, the Fire Department applied for a grant
from the Pacific Life Foundation. The grant was funded for $10,000.
The Pacific Life Grant targets the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program,
which provides no cost emergency preparedness training to community members who live and/or
work in Newport Beach. The CERT Program focuses on hands -on skills, including Light Search
and Rescue, Disaster Fire Suppression, Disaster Medical Operations, Disaster Psychology, and
Emergency Preparedness. Participants learn how to prepare for and safely respond to
emergencies. The CERT Program is in its third year and has had an extremely positive impact
on the volunteers involved. Recently, the community interest has swelled and we have a waiting
list of almost 400 community members.
CONCLUSION
By approving the budget amendment re- allocating $10,000 into the Fire Department, Disaster
Preparedness account #2355 -8200, Grant funds will support the success of CERT and enable the
City's emergency preparedness efforts to continue on a positive, progressive track.
FISCAL IMPACT
This budget appropriation will have a positive impact on the current Disaster Preparedness
Budget.
