The funding supports the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities in Columbia, South Carolina. As the primary state agency responsible for emergency management and disaster response in South Carolina, SCEMD will use this grant to implement a range of activities to reduce future disaster risks and strengthen the state's resilience, such as infrastructure improvements, emergency operations center enhancements, and localized mitigation projects delivered through sub-awards to local governments and organizations. This federal grant award is part of SCEMD's broader efforts to coordinate comprehensive emergency management initiatives across South Carolina with support from various FEMA and Department of Transportation grant programs.
