local governments to prevent, prepare for, mitigate against, respond to and recover from
emergencies and disasters whether natural or man -made.
This funding will assist the City of Newport Beach to continue the current emergency
management program responsibilities including: maintaining the City's Emergency
Operations Center (EOC), conducting City -wide EOC emergency drills, and training city

funds into the Fire Department Emergency Management Division account 2355 - 82008.
