Funded through federal Homeland Security Urban Area Security Grant dollars rather than city funds.
All Annapolis residents benefit from stronger emergency preparedness and response capabilities.
If the grants don't come and the request isn't funded, three OEM staff face layoffs and preparedness programs shrink.

Finance Committee - Special Meeting - Budget Hearing - Apr 23, 2026
Federal grants that normally arrive in October haven't come, so OEM built its FY27 budget assuming zero grant money. Three staff positions ($224,000) plus an outreach position ($108,974) would move onto the general fund — otherwise the director says he's laying people off.
