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 -_, transferring grant funds from Pacific Life
Foundation and the Emergency Management Assistance Grant Program to the Fire Department
for Disaster Preparedness.
Authorize the automatic carry-over into next year's budget, if the grant funds are not completely
utilized this year.
BACKGROUND
In an effort to support disaster preparedness programs, the Fire Department applied for two
grants, one from the Pacific Life Foundation and one from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, Emergency Management Assistance Grant Program. Both grants have been funded for
the amounts listed below:
Pacific Life Grant Foundation: $10,000
Emergency Management Assistance (EMA): $ 5,303
The Pacific Life Grant has been funded specifically targeting 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 second offering and
has had an extremely positive impact on the volunteers involved. ,
EMA Grant funds are aimed specifically at emergency preparedness programs for the City,
including City responder training, emergency exercises, community education, CERT, and
emergency plan re- development. The Grants are in the form of single donation and are non -
expiring.
CONCLUSION
Approving the budget amendment re- allocating $15,303 of grant funds to the Fire Department
Disaster Preparedness Budget 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 re- appropriation will have a positive impact on the current Disaster Preparedness
Budget.
