DISCUSSION The United States Department of Homeland Security developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funding program to address the unique planning, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high -threat, high -density Urban Areas and provides funds to local emergency first responders that assist in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, protect, respond to, mitigate and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti -terrorism equipment, planning, training, exercises and technical assistance. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 the United States Department of Homeland Security combined the Anaheim UASI and the Santa Ana UASI into a single Urban Area. The City of Santa Ana now shares grant administrative responsibilities with the City of Anaheim, annually alternating the function of lead administrative agency. The City of Anaheim is the lead agency for FY 2018 funding and is therefore the UASI Sub -Grantee, with the City of Santa Ana designated as a sub -recipient through Anaheim. The City of Santa Ana Police Department has worked with the City of Anaheim, the County of Orange, and cities within the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area to determine current capabilities and needs and have established goals and objectives for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area. The City of Santa Ana will continue to work in collaboration with the City of Anaheim to implement complimentary strategies for responding to acts of terrorism through the term of the agreement. 55C-1
