Grant FundingPublic SafetyDetected May 13, 2026

The Assembly approved Ordinance 26-05 to accept and allocate an Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG), confirming that state/federal emergency management funds are now available to the Borough. While the minutes do not detail specific purchases, EMPG dollars typically support planning, training, equipment, and systems for emergency management and are referenced in the Mayor’s ongoing emergency planning work, such as wildfire recovery and evacuation zone mapping. With funding now formally accepted and allocated, the Borough’s Emergency Manager and Mayor will be in a position to program these dollars into concrete projects and procurements, such as emergency planning consulting, technology tools, alerting systems, training, and exercises.Vendors in public safety, emergency management services, and related IT have a window to help the Borough translate the grant allocation into specific, compliant projects and purchases.

EMPG approval coincides with efforts such as Bear Creek fire recovery and rollout of the borough-wide evacuation zone map (“Know Your Zone”).
