Grant Summary and Timeline: Since 2000, the Health Department has received Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) funding from the federal government. The MMRS program, along with state pass-through federal funding for bioterrorism preparedness, enhances preparedness and readiness efforts to respond to a mass casualty event, whether caused by WMD attack, epidemic/pandemic disease outbreak, large scale HAZMAT incident or natural disaster. The core requirement of the MMRS program is the integration of the health and medical community into the disaster response framework. This year the grant will continue to focus on a regional response within the 19-county South Central Kansas Region. The grant is non-competitive and program areas of focus coincide with previous MMRS contracts.
