Interoperable communications benefit every community across the United States, and your fire department can correlate pandemic response efforts to enhance emergency communications through the American Rescue Plan. The ARP provides $350 billion to help jurisdictions cover increased spending and economic harm from the COVID-19 pandemic, and two-way radios and P25-compliant radios are a critical need for the fire service.
While funding is available to help first responders enhance or upgrade communications systems, how can both career and volunteer departments access the direct ARP funds?
In this webinar, FireRescue1 grant experts discuss:
- How fire services navigate ARP funds distributions.
- How and when should proposals be submitted.
- What should be included in ARP and related funding requests.
Our experts answered questions, reviewed grant application strategies and tactics, and shared tips that can help fire departments prepare data, demographics, overviews of critical infrastructure and cost estimates.
