This program includes the Director's Office, public information, and mission support. Many of the functions in this program occur in coordination with central service providers. This is especially true since Emergency Management relies on the Public Safety Service Area's (PSSA) Business Services to pay bills, prepare its budget, and carry out higher-level financial analysis, and it depends on the Grants Management Division to assist with extensive grant management requirements. The primary resources used in this program are employees. 636
