Information

Agenda Item

Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on the approval of the Level A HazMat Suits with Flash Protection and Suit Tester Project for submittal for FY16 Homeland Security Grant funding in the amount of $35,400.

Background

Williamson County currently utilizes an array of Level Suits during HazMat Incident Response. Not all suits provide flash protection leaving responders vulnerable to fire and heat. The additional suits will provide better standardization of equipment and increase overall safety of responders. The Suit Testers are required to periodically test the integrity of the suits to ensure maximum allowable shelf life and responder safety.
Note: All applications are made electronically through the e-Grants system. This application does not guaranty that funding will be approved at the state or regional level. All projects that are awarded funding will be presented to Commissioner’s Court for final approval and acceptance.
