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. The Police Department will use the funding to purchase supplies and equipment for the City's EOC. The grant required a 50 percent funding match, which the City provided through the Police Department, Emergency Preparedness operating budget, supported by the General Fund.
