County accepts FEMA hazard-mitigation grants to buy generators and protective measures for critical facilities
Summary
Nottoway County accepted two FEMA Hazard Mitigation grant awards to purchase emergency generators for the health department and landfill and protective shutters for critical facilities; awards total about $180,000 with a county match of roughly $8,600, and staff noted reimbursements will be handled through the Virginia Department of Emergency Management.
Emergency services staff asked the board to accept two FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant awards covering emergency generators (health department and landfill) and protective measures for selected critical facilities. Emergency services staff told the board the awards together total roughly $180,000, require a local match of about $8,600, and are reimbursable through the Virginia Department of Emergency Management.
Staff recommended acceptance and authority for the county administrator to execute required signatures and to have emergency services coordinate submission. Board members raised timing and reimbursement concerns and requested written confirmation that the awards are obligated and will be paid, noting federal pass-through and potential state-level funding uncertainties. After discussion, a motion to accept the grants and authorize signature execution carried on a voice vote.
