Illinois State House District 78 issued the following announcement on Sept. 3
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is providing an additional opportunity for volunteer and combination fire departments to apply for funding under the fiscal year 2020 Assistance to Firefighters Grant – COVID-19-Supplemental Program (AFG-S) to support the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE) and essential supplies related to the COVID-19 pandemic by the fire service community to help prevent, prepare for and respond to the coronavirus pandemic. This includes reimbursement for expenditures made since Jan. 1, 2020. FEMA anticipates opening the application period in October 2020.
Volunteer and combination fire departments are eligible to apply in this round even if they had a successful application in the first round. However, new applications must support new capabilities. Departments that applied in the first round but were unsuccessful must reapply in this round; applications from the first round will not automatically carry forward to this round for consideration.
