State Association Presidents and Legislative Chairs,

I am sharing with you the information regarding the Guidance for applying for the 2008 Emergency Operation Center Grant Program.

On June 13, FEMA released the Grant Guidance and Application kit for the FY 2008 Emergency Operations Center Grant Program. A total of $14,572,500 is available for construction or renovation of a State, local, or tribal government's principal Emergency Operations Center (EOC). . Application period opens on June 13 and  closes July 28, 2008.  25% match is required.  The State Administrative Agency (SAA) is the only eligible entity able to apply for the available funding on behalf of qualified State, local, and tribal EOCs. The funding is not intended for State fusion centers.

The Grant Guidance and Application kit, the Program Investment Justification Template,  and the grant program frequently asked questions (FAQ)  are available on the IAEM web site at www.IAEM.com
