The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded a $2,066,667 Project Grant under the Emergency Operations Center (CFDA 97.052) program to the Hawaii Department of Defense (HI-DOD), doing business as the Civil Defense Division, to enhance emergency management and preparedness capabilities in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The grant supports the construction, renovation, and equipping of flexible, sustainable, secure, and fully interoperable emergency operations centers. This includes upgrading the emergency power system in the Honolulu Police Department's Department Operations Center to ensure continuity of operations and improve redundancy for the department's backup EOC. The project involves purchasing and installing a new backup generator and automated transfer switch, as well as providing staff training. These critical infrastructure improvements will strengthen Hawaii's ability to coordinate effective emergency response efforts during major disasters or emergencies.
