The City of New Orleans EMS received a $111,006 project grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on September 15, 2022 under the Port Security Grant Program.
The grant will support the City's efforts to enhance port security for the Port of New Orleans. As one of the busiest ports in the United States, the Port of New Orleans plays a critical role in the regional and national economy. The Port Security Grant Program aims to help protect critical port infrastructure from risks such as terrorism, criminal activity, and natural disasters.
Under this award, the City of New Orleans EMS will work with its parent agency, the City of New Orleans Mayor's Office, to strengthen security for the Port through initiatives such as training, exercises, personnel, and equipment. The grant funding will enhance the City's ability to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from security incidents at the Port.
