The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. a $232,720 Project Grant under the Financial Assistance for Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention program (CFDA 97.132). The grant will support counter violent extremism efforts from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023 in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Specifically, the University will work to increase community awareness of the signs that someone may be escalating towards violence or terrorism and of the threats of targeted violence and terrorism. The grant will also help the local community understand both risk factors and protective factors for individuals becoming radicalized to violence. By educating the public on these issues over the two year period, the project aims to enhance terrorism prevention efforts in the local area.
