Century Hires Brace To Coordinate Disaster, Emergency Training

February 4, 2015

The Town of Century has contracted with the Be Ready Alliance Coordinating for Emergencies (BRACE) to help them be reading the event of a public emergency.

The work by BRACE will be funding by just over $11,000 in grant money provided by a federal grant through the Florida Division of Emergency Management.

BRACE will help develop and implement Citizens Corps and Community Emergency Response TEAM (CERT) programs.

The Citizen Corps mission is to harness the power of every individual through education, training, and volunteer service to make communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to the threats of terrorism, crime, public health issues, and disasters of all kinds.

The Community Emergency Response Team program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and  trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue,  team organization, and disaster medical operations.


BRACE has previously coorindated such efforts in Century. But now the implementation was required this year to beopen for public proposals. BRACE was the only company or indidual to submite a bid proposal.
