The Metro Moore County Emergency Management Agency received a $140,650 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Missing Alzheimer's Disease Patient Assistance Program (CFDA 16.015). The funding will be used to establish and operate the "Bringing the Lost Home" program, which will assist local emergency personnel in improving search and rescue capabilities for individuals with dementia or developmental disabilities who have wandered from safe environments. The program will utilize non-restrictive interventions to prepare individuals, families, and first responders to respond to wandering incidents. Key activities include purchasing the Bringing the Lost Home program from Scent Evidence K9, implementing locative tracking technologies, and conducting training for law enforcement and caregivers. The project period is 3 years, from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026.
