The Office of Community Services (OCS) is offering the Rural Community Facilities Development Program (RF) Homeland Security Grant, designed to award a non-profit organization in Fiscal Year 2009, contingent upon available funding. This grant aims to provide nationwide training and technical assistance specifically to small and very small rural communities. The core objective is to bolster the safety and security of their water and wastewater treatment systems. This crucial initiative addresses the significant concern that these often-vulnerable systems may be most susceptible to potential terrorist attacks and are currently least prepared to effectively manage such critical incidents, thereby enhancing their resilience and protecting public health.
