Grant issued for suicide prevention
SMA Behavioral Healthcare Inc. was recently awarded a grant aimed at the local high suicide rate.
The Adult Zero Suicide grant from the US Health and Human Services Department’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration will provide care coordination to adults exiting Crisis Stabilization Units, local jails and Veterans Administration services in Flagler, Putnam, St. Johns and Volusia Counties.
The 5-year award, totaling $2 million, is in recognition of the fact that suicide rates in this four-county area are higher than the state average.
“Our local jails have increasingly become de facto treatment centers for individuals with substance dependence disorders and severe mental illness,” said Rhonda Harvey, of SMA. “Our goal is to focus new effort toward intervening in that dynamic, as well as targeting those veterans who are not eligible for VA benefits and are treated and released at a VA clinic after experiencing suicidal ideation.”
Contact SMA at 800-539-4228; visit www.smabehavioral.org/ or find them on Facebook.
Local company releases CO2 meter
CO2Meter Inc., of Ormond Beach, has released a new monitor to improve worker safety for businesses that use or store carbon dioxide (CO2).
Carbon Dioxide in high concentrations can cause serious injuries and even kill a human. The SAN-10 Personal 5% Carbon Dioxide Monitor issues alarms if high levels are detected.

The monitor includes an 80-decibel audible alarm, flashin
g strobe, vibration feature, and a new “man down” alarm.
CO2Meter Inc. manufactures carbon dioxide and other gas detectors, monitors and sensors used in a variety of industrial, commercial and consumer applications. Visit www.CO2Meter.com
New flood insurance offered
For the first time in the company’s 13-year history, Security First is now offering combined Flood and Water Backup Coverage to its Floridian customers, according to a press release.
This new coverage protects against flooding as well as damage caused by water that backs up into a home from sewers, drains, or overflows from a pool or sump, with one deductible.
The company was able to develop the coverage because of changes in the law led by Senator Jeff Brandes (R-St. Petersburg) and Florida Insurance Commissioner David Altmaier, the release stated.
Senator Brandes said, “I’m glad to see that my bill, SB 542, which became law, has enabled over 20 private insurers in Florida to provide private flood options to Floridians.”
Flood insurance is not covered in a standard homeowners’ insurance policy.
More information about this new insurance product can be found at www.floridaflood.com.
