FY-07 Grants: Funding security for Mississippi
On July 18, 2007, the President of the United States signed the Fiscal Year 2007 Homeland Security Appropriations Act, thereby providing vital funding needed to ensure the safety of our homeland. Four grants were distributed to Mississippi with the intent of increasing the terrorist deterrence and prevention abilities of the state. Mississippi was granted $3,820,000.00 through the State Homeland Security Program (SHSGP), $2,730,000.00 delivered from the Prevention and Deterrence Program specifically for law enforcement (LETPP), $258,145.00 through the Metropolitan Medical Response System Program (MMRS) and $193,927.00 granted to Mississippi through the Citizen Corps Program (CCP). These federal grants supplied the state of Mississippi $7,002,072.00, to be administered by the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security, in order to safeguard its citizens against terrorist activities and were specifically designed to aid in stopping such events before they take place.Additionally, Mississippi received a fifth grant, entitled the Emergency Management Performance Grant Program (EMPG), which amounted to $ 2,591,753 .00. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA)is in charge of dispersing those funds. For more information regarding the allocation of the EMPG funds, please contact the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency
The money attained through the federal grants is used to aid in the training of emergency first responders, purchasing state of the art equipment for combating and preventing terrorist acts, planning, exercises, and funding for management, administration and the development of citizen corps projects at local levels. This year, the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security allocated the available funds to each of the eighty-two counties in the state based on population, critical infrastructure and other important factors.
All of this information means that the Federal Government, the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, Emergency Responders, and the Citizen Corps are working together to ensure Mississippi remains safe and vigilant. Included below are the details of two primary grants allocated to Mississippi for the 2006-2003 fiscal years, and where the funds were delivered.
