Your grant award was in <br />the amount of $19,000.00. The amount awarded includes $6,000.00 to form and <br />support Citizen Corps Council efforts in your community and $13,000.00 to develop <br />and maintain a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. <br /> <br />You may start work on your plans to develop Citizen Corps Councils and CERT <br />programs immediately. We are currently working on the grant agreement for the <br />program, and will forward copies of it to you when it is completed. The Division is <br />also preparing to host several CERT Train-the-Trainer courses for people from <br />participating communities who wish to instruct. Our hope is to have the first CERT <br />TTT session in late April. <br /> <br />If you have any questions about your grant, or about how to proceed from this point, <br />please feel free to call me at (651) 215-6947. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Dennis Walter <br />Point of Contact, Minnesota Citizen Corps Program <br /> <br />EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br /> <br /> <br />
