Metro Moore County Emergency Management Agency

Metro Moore County Emergency Management Agency Metro Moore County EMA Division is a local government entity headquartered in Lynchburg, Tennessee, that operates as a federal grant recipient in emergency management and public safety assistance programs. The agency does not hold federal contracts as a prime or subcontractor; its federal footprint consists exclusively of grant awards, with one prime grant and eleven sub-grant awards totaling $574 thousand across twelve awards recorded between 2021 and 2023.

Metro Moore County EMA's single prime grant is a $140,650 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Missing Alzheimer's Disease Patient Assistance Program (CFDA 16.015), awarded October 1, 2023, with performance running through September 30, 2026. Under this award, the agency established and operates the "Bringing the Lost Home" program, which assists local emergency personnel in improving search and rescue capabilities for individuals with dementia or developmental disabilities who have wandered from safe environments. The program utilizes non-restrictive interventions and combines training for law enforcement and caregivers with locative tracking technologies and the Scent Evidence K9 Bringing the Lost Home program platform.

The agency's eleven sub-grant awards are uniformly dated August 31, 2021, and are identified in the federal record only as "HSGP 2021" — indicating sub-awards flowing from Homeland Security Grant Program funding in the 2021 cycle. These awards do not carry individual dollar values or detailed descriptions in the source data beyond the HSGP designation. The Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance represents the sole distinct federal customer in the tracked award portfolio, accounting for 100% of identified prime grant funding. All sub-grant work is carried under HSGP pass-through mechanisms, which typically flow from the Department of Homeland Security through state or regional coordinators to local emergency management agencies.

Metro Moore County EMA operates exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem for public-safety and emergency-management assistance rather than the federal contracting market; it does not compete for federal contracts or sit on government-wide acquisition vehicles. The agency's recent activity is limited — no awards have been recorded in the source data since October 2023 — and its federal funding footprint is modest at $574 thousand combined, reflecting the scale and mission scope of a county-level emergency management division.
