This bill establishes a $5 million grant program to help New Jersey municipalities prepare for disasters by providing training, supply stockpiles, and technology for assisting residents with disaster relief applications. Administered by the Division of Disaster Recovery and Mitigation, the program allows each municipality to receive up to $30,000 in funding, with priority determined by the Office of Emergency Management based on risk assessments. Municipalities must report annually on fund usage, improvements in emergency response, and current risks.
