The Virginia Department of Emergency Management is pleased to announce the availability of the FY2008 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program opportunity for local governments.
Fully capable emergency operations facilities at the State and local levels are essential elements of a comprehensive national emergency management system and are necessary to ensure continuity of operations and continuity of government in major disasters caused by any hazard. Funds are available for construction or renovation of a local government’s EOC. This program is not intended to fund the construction or renovation of state or local fusion Centers.
Localities are encouraged to compete for $1 million dollars for construction or $250,000 for renovations in 2008 EOC Grant Program. There will be only one award per state.
The grant application and guidelines are provided below to assist you with your submission. These required documents must be submitted to be considered for this grant. Please ensure that all forms are complete and submitted on or before July 11, 2008. All submissions must be submitted through the locality CAO’s office and only one submission per local government will be accepted. Multiple submissions from any locality may result in all submissions from that locality being deemed ineligible. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will evaluate applications and finalize their recommendations for awarding funds by the end of October, 2008.
