True. It does seem that Beacon is fairly closely associated with Vale's government. Might suggest a significant civil defence role. However, it's in a bad place for that. Not centrally located, and separated by a lake and cliffs. Not enough transport capacity to move significant numbers of people to shelters.

And even still, too much land to do anything with properly. Those close ties would suggest the pull to swing that, though I still struggle to think of why.

The near forest is fairly transparently a reserve for low-level Grimm, and is culled frequently of more powerfull Grimm.
