Emergency Management flags aggressive Lake Ontario conditions, approves training and equipment expenditures
Summary
The county’s Emergency Management director warned that Lake Ontario conditions are changing more rapidly than in prior years and the committee approved use of FY2023 SHSP funds for an all-terrain vehicle and project credits for CAD/mobile/RMS training and GIS support.
Emergency Management Services Director George Bastedo reported that conditions along Lake Ontario appear to be changing more aggressively than in previous years and warranted continued monitoring by county staff.
Bastedo presented transmittals to expend project credits for supplemental CAD/mobile/RMS training and GIS support and to expend FY2023 Homeland Security Grant (SHSP) funds for an all-terrain vehicle; both items were approved 5-0. The approvals were presented as steps to maintain preparedness and support emergency response capabilities tied to regional risks such as changing lake conditions.
Bastedo did not provide specific dollar amounts for the project credits or the ATV purchase in the minutes; the committee recorded the approvals and instructed staff to proceed with the authorized expenditures.
