FYI. I would assume that Health Dept. does not have funds for this either. And I’m not saying that they should!

I believe the best practice would be to budget some amount in contingency, but work to utilize MOUs as the primary means from here on out. That being said, I do not believe we have enough time before budgets are due to create those MOUs, which is why I would recommend your own allocation. I do not have a suggestion on amounts unfortunately. We can make modifications to the EOP, if necessary, to reflect your route.

Good afternoon,

Based on the responsibility of DSS in the EOP would you expect that DSS would need to have $ in the budget? If well planned and organized, it appears that provision of food and shelter facilities are to come through MOUs.  However, in the time of an emergency, this may not be entirely practical, especially during the first few hours. This caused issues in the past regarding food, for example. Do you have any recommendations as our proposed budget is due by March 12.  At this time there are $0 allocated in the DSS budget for this purpose.

Thank you.
