UASI is designed to address the unique planning, equipment, <br />training, and exercise needs of high -threat, high-density Urban Areas and provides funds to local <br />emergency first responders that assist in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, <br />protect, respond to, mitigate and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides <br />funding for anti -terrorism equipment, planning, training, exercises and technical assistance. <br />In FY 2006, the United States Department of Homeland Security combined the Anaheim UASI and <br />the Santa Ana UASI into a single Urban Area. The City of Santa Ana now shares grant administrative <br />responsibilities with the City of Anaheim, annually alternating the function of lead administrative <br />agency. The City of Anaheim is the lead agency for FY 2016 funding and is therefore the UASI Sub - <br />Grantee, with the City of Santa Ana designated as a sub -recipient through Anaheim. The FY 2016 <br />grant program covers the period of September 16, 2016 through March 31, 2019. <br />The City of Santa Ana Police Department has worked with the City of Anaheim, the County of <br />Orange, and cities within the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area to determine current capabilities and <br />needs and have established goals and objectives for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area.
