SHSGP funds are received annually for the Operational Area for the purchase of specialized equipment for fire, law enforcement, and public safety agencies and other local jurisdictional emergency management preparedness needs. Equipment purchased with SHSGP funding enhances the capabilities of local governments and stakeholder agencies to plan for and respond to large scale emergencies, disasters, and other hazardous events.
