March 20 to 24 is Severe Weather Awareness Week

Delaware Emergency Management Agency | Department of Safety and Homeland Security | Featured Posts | News | Date Posted: Sunday, March 19, 2023

March 20 to March 24 is “Severe Weather Awareness Week.” In recent years, Delaware has experienced flooding, tornadoes, and winter storms that put lives and property at risk while adversely impacting the health, safety, and economic well-being of families, businesses, and schools. Learning about the different types of hazards will increase preparedness and help reduce the amount of devastation caused by severe weather.

Apply Now for Nonprofit Security Grant Program

Delaware Emergency Management Agency | Department of Safety and Homeland Security | News | Date Posted: Friday, March 10, 2023

Eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits, including faith-based groups, can now apply for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), which can reimburse up to $150,000 per site for physical and cybersecurity enhancements or other security-related activities for organizations at risk of a terrorist attack.* NSGP is funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and administered in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA).

The deadline to apply is April 21 at 5:00 p.m.

Nonprofits Encouraged to Prepare for Grant Opportunity

Cyber Security | Delaware Emergency Management Agency | Department of Safety and Homeland Security | News | Date Posted: Thursday, January 26, 2023

The Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) is urging eligible tax-exempt nonprofits, including faith-based organizations, to prepare now for an upcoming Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) opportunity anticipated to be available for applications in early March 2023. NSGP provides funding for projects that enhance physical security and cybersecurity to nonprofits at high risk of a terrorist attack. Two requirements for NSGP applications are a Vulnerability Assessment and Unique Entity Identification (UEI) Number. DEMA advises interested applicants to begin the process now because completing these prerequisites is often time-consuming.

Emergency Sirens Test on Tuesday, January 3

Delaware Emergency Management Agency | Delaware State Police | Department of Safety and Homeland Security | Date Posted: Friday, December 30, 2022

The Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) and Delaware State Police will conduct a quarterly test of the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations Alert and Notification system on Tuesday, January 3, 2022. The sirens will sound at approximately 10:45 a.m. The 37 sirens located within ten miles of the Salem/Hope Creek (New Jersey) plants will be activated for three to five minutes. The siren tests will be followed by a test message of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) on local radio stations.

Prepare for Winter Weather and Driving Hazards

Delaware Emergency Management Agency | Department of Safety and Homeland Security | News | Date Posted: Monday, December 5, 2022

Winter storms can occur anytime and anywhere, sometimes with fatal consequences. Heavy snow, high winds, freezing rain, and extreme cold can knock out heat and power to homes and offices and cause hazardous driving conditions. Preparing now can help to greatly reduce any potential impacts from severe weather.

The Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) is urging everyone to take action: make a plan, build and stock home and car emergency kits with winter weather items, and stay informed on the latest conditions. Be sure to visit PrepareDE.org for additional resources.
