$599,900

 

This item increases support to the Grants & Reimbusables BCL (F6000) by $599,900 from the Department of Homeland Security through its BioWatch program. The Seattle Fire Department will use this funding to support the Risk Management BCL for the local operation of this air sample and analysis effort to identify the presence of biological antagonists.  Kiosk collectors are located at a number of sites and whose samples will be collected daily for analysis by the State Department of Health.  If agents are detected, protocols have been developed for emergency management and response.  The intent of the BioWatch program is to provide early warning of a biological threat.  The DHS is finalizing its next generation of collectors to further shorten the collection and analysis time.  Seattle is one of only a dozen areas that will have such early access to these resources.  No positions or local match are associated with this funding.

 

1.2
