| Project Description: |
| This project will provide funding for the purchase of the necessary equipment to increase the City's capacity to mitigate the effects of catastrophic events, including hurricanes. The 2005 hurricane season exposed the areas of greatest impact of such events on the City resulting in the City's recognition of inadequate mitigation and recovery infrastructure. |
