Background
The Office for State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support will distribute FY 1999 funding to provide the maximum number of communities with a basic defensive capability to respond to domestic terrorism incidents. This program ensures that first responders are properly equipped and prepared to respond to incidents of domestic terrorism involving chemical and biological agents, as well as radiological and explosive devices. This program will provide grants to the 157 largest cities and localities, to procure personal protective, chemical, biological and radiological detection and communications equipment in accordance with the FY 1999 Authorized Equipment Purchase List.
Application Kits
Application kits will be mailed to the Chief Executive Officers in each of the targeted jurisdictions. Interested eligible applicants are encouraged to contact the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to ensure that they receive an application kit for the FY 1999 County and Municipal Agency Domestic Preparedness Equipment Support Program.
Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants are the chief executive officers (CEOs) in the nation's 157 largest metropolitan jurisdictions, listed in the following table. However, if the county or municipal government is not responsible for the fire services, emergency medical services, hazardous materials response units, and/or law enforcement agencies in its jurisdiction, then the appropriate State or local agency that provides that service must be consulted in the development of the application. All eligible applicants are grouped by a population index based on 1992 census data. Certain county jurisdictions may not provide any qualifying services or have authority to apply for this program. In those instances, an appropriate State or municipal-level agency must apply on behalf of the jurisdictions within the county. If your county falls into this category, please contact OJP at 202-305-9887 for guidance in meeting the application requirements.
