EPCRA Grants

Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) will provide grant funds to a County Emergency Management Office for eligible expenses that support their Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPC) completion of required Plan-Of-Work (POW) hazardous materials planning and preparedness activities. Grant awards are formula based and are funded by EPCRA program revenue/fees. The grant is administered in conjunction with the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG).

Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) will provide grant funds to a County Emergency Management Office to support the purchase of eligible computer and hazmat equipment for a County sponsored hazmat team. The maximum total award may be up to $10,000 annually, subject to approval, and with consideration of a four-year funding cycle. The grant will reimburse 80% of eligible expenses with a 20% local match required. Counties without a County sponsored hazmat team are eligible only for the computer portion of the grant. The grant is funded by state general purpose revenue (GPR).
