Rogers Announces Homeland Security Grant
KENTUCKY....
U.S. Congressman Hal Rogers announced the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will be awarding $2.88 million to the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium hosted at Eastern Kentucky University (EKU). RDPC is a nationwide rural training initiative that enables emergency responders in rural areas to access comprehensive homeland security training programs and fill critical security gaps. EKU serves as the lead institution of a group of colleges across the nation that provides critical training courses for rural first responders and other emergency response stakeholders. Rogers secured this funding in H.R. 2892, the Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2010.
