Daily Messenger Editorial
By admin | August 14, 2008
The Canandaigua Daily Messenger recently published an editorial regarding FEMA’s Fire Prevention and Safety Grants Program. The editorial questions “the wisdom of a grant process blind to economic realities and public sentiment.” MPNNews Article
From the Fire Prevention and Safety Grants Website :
The Fire Prevention and Safety Grants (FP&S) are part of the Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) and are under the purview of the Grant Programs Directorate in the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FP&S grants support projects that enhance the safety of the public and firefighters from fire and related hazards. The primary goal is to target high-risk populations and mitigate high incidences of death and injury. Examples of the types of projects supported by FP&S include fire prevention and public safety education campaigns, juvenile firesetter interventions, media campaigns, and arson prevention and awareness programs. In fiscal year 2005, Congress reauthorized funding for FP&S and expanded the eligible uses of funds to include Firefighter Safety Research and Development.
