Right after the fire, the Town of Paradise submitted applications for funding for several Hazard Mitigation Projects including the EWS. FEMA granted the Town funds to design the system, which was completed in November 2020. The Town then applied again to FEMA for grant funding to construct the system, and we are waiting to hear whether the funds will be awarded. As of February 2022, FEMA has indicated a response will be given very soon. If funds are awarded, the Town will immediately issue an Request for Proposals (RFP) to construct the system.
