This initiative was designed to <br />enhance the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders <br />have adequate and appropriate equipment and training to prevent, respond to, and recover from <br />acts of terrorism. Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City since 2003. As <br />such, for certain grant years, Santa Ana is responsible for purchasing equipment and providing <br />training to the other 34 jurisdictions in Orange County. <br />In 2006, the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area procured five Mobile Command Posts (MCP's) which <br />would be hosted by the five largest municipalities in Orange County (Anaheim, Cypress, Huntington <br />Beach, Irvine, and Santa Ana). A gap was identified in response capabilities and the ability of <br />public safety agencies to mobilize and deploy incident management staff to large scale planned or <br />unplanned events within the region. <br />In 2014, the existing technology (i.e. fax machine/printer, video displays, etc.) was out of date, and <br />some of it no longer performed as intended, or was no longer serviceable. Golden State <br />Audio/Video was selected to perform upgrades to sustain and in some instances, enhance the <br />capabilities of the MCP when managing critical incidents. Technology such as communications <br />(phones/satellite/wireless access points, etc.) play a vital role in the mission of incident <br />management. This mission in a mobile environment is even more challenging due to the lack of <br />2213-1 <br />
