Stevens County accepts $5,000 hazardous‑materials training grant to fund EV response and June exercise
Summary
Board authorized county officials to accept and execute a $5,000 hazardous‑materials training grant to support electric vehicle response training and a responder exercise in Hancock on June 16, including food for attendees.
Donna Greiner told commissioners the county received a $5,000 hazardous‑materials training grant with no local match required. The award will fund spring hazardous‑materials training that includes electric‑vehicle response and will support the June 16 exercise in Hancock, including food for participating emergency responders.
"So we'll concentrate on, response to hazardous, or to electric vehicles...we'll incorporate some of that into our exercise that we have on June 16 in Hancock," Donna Greiner said when presenting the award and requesting authorization for an administrator, the sheriff, or herself to execute the grant award when the paperwork arrives.
The board moved, seconded and voted in the affirmative to authorize execution and acceptance of the award.
Why it matters: The grant funds targeted training for first responders on a specific hazard (EV incidents) and covers exercise costs without requiring county matching funds, allowing the county to expand local responder capability at minimal local cost.
