[June 20, 2014]SPRINGFIELD – Grants totaling $4
million awarded by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA)
will help 120 accredited city and county emergency management
agencies throughout Illinois support local disaster preparedness and
response efforts.
“Illinois has faced a record number of historic natural disasters
in recent years,” Governor Pat Quinn said. “We have learned the
value of being prepared, and have seen that quick and thorough
disaster response can make a crucial difference. These grants will
strengthen emergency management where it’s needed most - in our
local communities.”
The Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) are funded
through a grant IEMA receives from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). The grants, which are awarded annually, can be used
for day-to-day operations of local emergency management programs.
“Strong local emergency management programs are key components of
public safety throughout Illinois,” said IEMA Director Jonathon
Monken. “These grants support local emergency management agencies to
help them be prepared to respond to disasters in their communities.”
Additional federal EMPG funding totaling $7 million will enable IEMA
to provide dozens of training courses, emergency response exercise
support and emergency planning assistance to emergency responders
statewide.
