Rogers Secures Funding For Security
U.S. Congressman Harold "Hal" Rogers has secured funding in the amount of $10 million for the Kentucky-based National Institute for Hometown Security. The money will be used for technology and research involved with protecting our country from terrorists attacks, preparing and responding to natural disaster and hardening the infrastructure which keeps America safe.
In addition, Rogers secured $3 million for the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium, hosted at Eastern Kentucky University, which is a rural training initiative which enables emergency responders to access comprehensive homeland security training programs and fill critical security gaps.
