T5- APRIL ADAMS Review Stall FARMINGTON- - Davis County will apply for a $2 million emergency management federal grant this week. The chances of the county relong shot, however, said county sheriff Brant Johnson. Johnson told county commissioners that almost every county in the nation will apply for the grant to be used for emergency preparedness programs, but only about 15 counties will receive the ceiving it are a t23 ?! J. ' y money. Out of 3,005 counties, only so many will receive the money. But the federal people are very much aware of where Davis County is, the sheriff said. We are known nationwide for out preparedness because weve had to be, considering the floods, winds and rising lake problems weve encountered, he told commissioners. The money is intended to go toward programs that improve the way things should be run in an emergency, Johnson said. State assistance would be required in for Will Apply some of the categories, he said. The $2 million, spread out over three years, would go toward 12 categories for all counties. An updated communications system would be a high county priority, the sheriff said, since there has never been appropriate coverage in the fringe areas, such as Clinton, West Point and Sunset. County Commissioner Harry Gerlach agreed that parts of the county operation are "archaic." We dont have adequate communication coverage all the time. The channels are saturated." he said. Some of the present equipment needs to be replaced, he added. The cost of the desired communications interagency-stat- e be $2 million over would system three-yea span. The question of city support still remains, the sheriff said. A sound warning system in case of a county wide emergency System would be another $165,000 priority.. Another category to be developed if funds are received would be to implement and expand the county wide emergency preparedness guide and plan, Johnson said, which would cost ar an estimated 50,000. The emergency medical service would also be improved, along with creating a county wide evacuation program, costing an estimated $15,000 for both. d utility maps could be drawn if funds are received and a sheltering system needs to be built, the grant application states. The maps would be about $3,000 and the identifying of shelter qualifications and capabilities would be $10,000, the report states. The county Assistant Director of Emergency Services, Jan Cunningham, said the aim of the grant is to make our county a model county. The county applications, to be submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will be reviewed and tentative approval will be given sometime in the fall, the sheriff said. The county commissioners gave their approval to the submitting of the application. We arent committing the county to anything. We are just giving our approval, Gerlach . High-hazar- said.
