The May 27, 2026 mayor’s report notes that Ledyard participated in a Milestone Nuclear Disaster Practice Drill with FEMA on-site and will undergo a fully evaluated FEMA drill on June 23, 2026. The town currently receives approximately $25,000–$30,000 annually from the Emergency Management Performance (EMPG) Grant Program tied to this nuclear emergency preparedness work. While no specific purchase is approved here, ongoing evaluated drills and recurring EMPG funding indicate an active emergency management program that must maintain plans, communications, training, and equipment at FEMA standards. This creates room for vendors offering exercise design, after‑action reporting, EOC software, notification systems, decontamination and shelter supplies, and training services to support future grant-funded improvements and compliance.
