The purpose of the FY2010-2011 EMPG program is to support comprehensive emergency management and to encourage the improvement of mitigation, preparedness, and response and recovery capabilities for all hazards.
Funds provided under the FY2010 EMPG grant will allow OES to support activities that contribute to the capability to prevent, prepare for, mitigate against, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters, whether natural or man-made.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
Approval of this Board Memo contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Collaborative Community by enhancing the abilities of San Mateo County Emergency Management to expand operational readiness, incident support and recovery, and hazard mitigation with the twenty cities in the county as well as both Law and Fire agencies.
