Emergency management coordinator outlines state funding changes and a new WOHS census requirement
Summary
LaRae Dobbs said Wyoming Office of Homeland Security changed funding timelines and is requiring updated Wyoming census data be submitted to verify population numbers exclude illegal immigrants; Dobbs summarized other ongoing emergency-management work.
LaRae Dobbs, Big Horn County Emergency Management Coordinator, briefed the Commission on changes to funding distributed by the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security and on related administrative requirements.
Dobbs said WOHS has changed funding timelines and that one issue being worked on at the state level is a new requirement that Wyoming census data be updated and submitted to verify that population counts exclude illegal immigrants. Dobbs provided a general overview of other work in progress but did not provide further implementation details in the minutes.
Commissioners acknowledged the update; no formal action was recorded at the Oct. 7 meeting related to WOHS funding or the census requirement. Dobbs said she will continue to monitor the state guidance and report back as details are clarified.
The minutes record this as an informational staff briefing rather than a Commission directive or vote.
