Re: Operating Budget
The State of Hawaii Department of Defense, State Civil Defense has authorized an additional
funding of $31,333 for the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency's Domestic Equipment Grant
Program. The original grant agreement between the County and the State Civil Defense was
authorized in 2001 by Resolution No. 19-01 and the $120,000 grant was appropriated by Ordinance
No. 01-21. The program funds are derived from a federal grant from the Department of Justice to
mitigate the consequences of a weapons of mass destruction threat to the State of Hawaii. The
purpose is to ensure 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. The Hawaii County Fire Department will be using the additional funding to acquire
specialized first responder's basic defensive equipment.
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating this amount to
the Civil Defense Domestic Equipment Program.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Civil Defense Agency.
