The Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) grant of $10,936.60 will help better educate citizens how to react to chemical release incidents, as well as better prepare the first responders in the City of Fart Worth. This will be achieved through public education campaigns and 1•srst responder training. This grant requires a funding contribution (called a "match") from local agencies, which would amount to $2,187.30 of the total $10,936.50 for the purposes of this grant because, the matching funds are defined as 20% of the State's share of the total ($8,749.20). The Tarrant County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) will be the primary source of the 20% match. Lo~name: 02HMEP PY06 Page 1 of 2 FISCAL.
