The North Carolina Department of Public Safety (NCDPS) was awarded a $849,593 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Emergency Operations Center (CFDA 97.052) program. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will support the construction, renovation, and equipping of emergency operations centers across North Carolina to enhance emergency management and preparedness capabilities. The project has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027. As the state's lead emergency management agency, NCDPS plans to leverage this funding to create flexible, sustainable, and fully interoperable emergency operations facilities that enable coordinated disaster response and continuity of government operations. NCDPS will likely sub-award portions of the grant to local governments, fire departments, and tribal organizations to implement the project across multiple jurisdictions in the state.
