Summary
Hot Springs County accepted a $12,300 State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) grant to buy Emergency Operations Center equipment and introduced Christal Eversole as the new Emergency Management Coordinator. The equipment will support using the Search and Rescue building as a local command center.
Sady Mounts, Hot Springs County Emergency Management/Homeland Security Coordinator, requested and the Board approved an SHSP Grant Award Agreement with the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security for $12,300 (no county match) to purchase Emergency Operations Center equipment.
