OEMHS Budget Up 30% to Replace Alert Montgomery, Grant-Funded Items
MCCouncilApr 28, 2026
The County Executive's recommended FY27 budget for the Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security is $7.4 million, a $1.7 million (30%) increase over FY26. The increase reflects the need to replace items previously funded by the Urban Area Security Initiative Grant, including $800,000 for the Everbridge Alert System (Alert Montgomery), $425,000 for response equipment, and $93,274 for a fiscal position. The PS Committee will review this budget on April 29, 2026.
