RE: City of Palm Desert: Funding for Emergency Resiliency in Palm Desert
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing in support of the City of Palm Desert’s application to create a Emergency
Resiliency Plan for the City to prevent future catastrophic disaster events. The City was highly
impacted by Tropical Storm Hilary in August 2023, which caused an estimated $7 billion in
damages to our region. An emergency resiliency plan will allow the City to prioritize and
develop critical emergency resiliency projects and programs within our City, to ensure we are
better equipped for future climate and disaster events.
For these reasons, Riverside County Fire Department is proud to support the City of Palm
Desert application to the GRANT PROGRAM. For any additional information please feel free
to contact my office at 951-591-9769.
Sincerely,
Mike Beverlin
Division Chief
Riverside County Fire Dept.
