AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to submit an application on behalf of Westcare /
Guidance Care Center, Inc., to Florida Division of Emergency Management for a Pre-Disaster
Mitigation Grant in the amount of $93,240.83. Monroe County will not provide funding for this
project. The project, if awarded, would provide installation of a redundant generator system, to help
ensure operability during a severe weather or other emergency event.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Westcare / Guidance Care Center is seeking a Pre-Disaster Mitigation
grant in the amount of $93,240.83 from FEMA and Florida Division of Emergency Management
(with a 75% / 25% cost share) to install a generator at its Marathon facility. This is a
reimbursement grant, therefore the project would be financed by Westcare, who will be
responsible for the 25% non-federal match portion. This facility has been added to the Monroe
County Emergency Management list of critical facilities, as it was utilized as an intermediate-term
shelter for survivors of Hurricane Irma who were displaced from their homes, prior to FEMA and
other resources becoming available. This project would have no budget impact on Monroe County
BOCC.
