Schumer (D-N.Y.), who made the announcement in a release from his Washington, D.C., office said the money will help the department “launch a comprehensive recruitment and retention campaign [for] new volunteers capable of quickly and safely responding to emergencies in the area.”
The competitive grants are administered through the Department of Homeland Security and were requested by Schumer, according to the release.
