Department Action

Attached for approval is the FY 2019 Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) grant application renewal for the one year grant period 7/1/2018-6/30/2019 in the amount of $128,650. The County match required for this funding is $12,859 and will be met by using existing Collin County staff members’ salary and fringe in addition to Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) volunteer hours. Due to the grant application deadline being 2/6/18, the application was submitted to DSHS in a timely manner and needs approval. CRI grant funds are additional Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) funds awarded to jurisdictions that fall within a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), and focus primarily on medical countermeasures dispensing, medical material management and distribution, and supporting capabilities. Since Collin County is part of the Dallas/Fort Worth MSA, we are eligible for the additional CRI grant funds. The grant funds ensure the ability of Collin County to receive and dispense medical countermeasures to the public in the event of a large scale public health emergency by utilizing the CDC’s Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) assets. SNS assets can be requested during a public health emergency or disaster once local and state resources have been depleted. Collin County Health Care Services (CCHCS) plans to use the allocated CRI state funds towards the salaries of two Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) staff members (CRI Coordinator and MRC Coordinator). Other program costs such as mileage, travel for training, and grant program and other supplies are included in the budget for review.
