Grant Overview
Readiness for Emergencies in New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, emergency preparedness remains a crucial concern, particularly in the context of natural disasters and public safety threats. The state experiences various emergencies, from severe winter storms to flooding, making it essential for communities to be adequately prepared. Recent studies have shown that 40% of New Hampshire residents feel unprepared for emergencies, pointing to a significant readiness gap that this funding initiative aims to address.
