Nationwide, communities continue to battle the effects of the opioid crisis. Litigation brought by states against drug distributors, manufacturers and pharmacy chains has produced opioid settlement funding designed to bring relief to communities affected by the epidemic. The various funding mechanisms (how to request, how to apply and to who) is evolving and varies by state.
First responders are on the front line of this crisis treating overdose patients, securing illegal, dangerous drugs and managing the various scenarios related to opioid calls. For public safety agencies, including EMS, opioid settlement funding may be tapped for a variety of purposes. For this reason, public safety leaders must understand the basics of the settlements, how funds will be distributed and how your agency may be able to tap into funding in a responsible manner.
Join this webinar to learn:
- How the opioid settlement was reached.
- How funding will be distributed.
- How funding can be used.
- How Lexipol’s grants experts can help your agency navigate the opioid funding landscape and secure funding.
