Grant Summary and Timeline: Sedgwick County Emergency Management has received notification from the Kansas Division of Emergency Management about the availability of the annual Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPF) Program. This grant provides funding to local government emergency management agencies. The funding period for this grant is based on the calendar year beginning January 1, 2015, and ending December 31, 2015. It is anticipated that Sedgwick County will receive $93,654.00, the same amount as in the 2014 award. A portion of the grant in the amount of $72,602.00 pays the salary and benefits of the Emergency Management Planner, which is set up in fund center 13012-257.
