Subject:Yes Safer Grant Agenda 15
Hello, I hope this message reaches you healthy and happy,
We are fully aware that this year has created many challenges for everyone on a personal and a professional level.
Anaheim has faced many challenges in the past and will face many in the future.
Frontline responders are at the tip of the spear when helping our community in times of need. It takes professionally
trained and dedicated firefighters to respond to the different type of emergencies that face the city. The unique thing
about the response to 911 calls... is that it takes people. People are needed. Firefighters are needed to meet the
national consensus standards for minimum staffing levels. This standard specifies that "at least” four firefighters per
responding apparatus are needed to help mitigate incidents.
The SAFER grant will help meet this standard. We are wading through the waters of an unknown future in regards to this
national crisis. The federal government is willing to grant money to help. Lets use this money to help the citizens of
Anaheim and the fire service as a whole.
Please vote “YES” to the SAFER Grant Program and get more people helping people.
Thank you for your consideration,
J. Morgan
