Half Moon Bay's Emergency Operations Center Receives Funding

Washington, D.C-Rep. Anna G. Eshoo (D-Palo Alto) released the following statement after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced $750,000 in funding for a new Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Half Moon Bay, California.

The funding, which Rep. Eshoo had written into the Homeland Security Appropriations Act, was approved under the EOC grants program operated by DHS's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The grant provides funding for construction of the new facility and will improve emergency management and preparedness capabilities in Half Moon Bay and the Coastside.

"I'm thrilled that the Half Moon Bay EOC is receiving this significant funding from the Department of Homeland Security," said Rep. Eshoo. "It has been my priority to make sure that the people I represent are safe and secure at all times. This funding will help to ensure that this EOC is fully equipped to help my constituents on the Coastside should an emergency situation come about."
