DISCUSSION
The U S Department of Transportation through the State of Texas Division of Emergency Management, is
providing funding for local jurisdictions to enhance hazardous materials preparedness programs. The
Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) grant will help better educate the citizens as well
as better prepare the first responders in the City of Fort Worth This will be achieved through the
distribution of informational Literature at various schools institutions, and events, as well as updating
hazardous material databases so that first responders will be aware of possible hazards when responding
to an incident.
The award of this grant would allow the Fire Department, Emergency Management Division to expand and
enhance its current hazardous material awareness programs. This grant requires a match of 20% of the
total program cost of $29 350 The department would use $5 870 currently budgeted in the Emergency
Management Office as the grant match
Match funds for this grant were identified immediately prior to the deadline however staff believed this
program was worthwhile and submitted the application on November 1 2003 for which we are now seeking
confirmation tf the City Council desires the application may be withdrawn
