Emergency Management asks for regional grant positions, flags ongoing 9-1-1 improvements
Summary
The Department of Emergency Management told the committee it can accept most analyst cuts but asked the board to consider policy positions tied to a regional catastrophic preparedness grant (75% grant, 25% local match) and reported 45 exercises planned across 18 months and 120 FTEs in 9-1-1 dispatch (per department testimony).
Vicky Hennessy, executive director of the Department of Emergency Management (DEM), told the Budget and Finance Committee she agrees with much of the budget analyst's $380,000 reduction package but is concerned about two policy recommendations totaling roughly $998,000 in new and existing positions that the department says are part of a regional catastrophic preparedness grant (75% grant-funded, requiring a 25% local match) (SEG 968'977, SEG 1461'1469).
