FY 2022 Urban Areas Security Initiative Program October 17, 2023 Page 2 Agency (FEMA) to assist high -density urban areas to strengthen the nation's communities against potential terrorist attacks and other hazards. The UASI program provides funds to local emergency first responders to enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for training, planning, equipment, exercises, and technical assistance. In FY 2006 the DHS established a combined UASI in the Orange County Urban Area called the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA) UASI. 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 2022 funding and is, therefore, the UASI Sub -Grantee, with Santa Ana designated as a subrecipient through Anaheim. The 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 work in collaboration with the City of Anaheim to implement complementary strategies for responding to acts of terrorism. The FY 2022 funds will support the Homeland Security Training & Exercise Program to enhance capabilities across multiple disciplines and jurisdictions in areas such as active shooter, mass gathering and civil disturbances, cyber security, emergency management, and advanced life-saving techniques. The funding will also be used to support a new training facility, sustain and maintain the ReadyOC Emergency Preparedness Campaign, the "If You See Something, Say Something" (SafeOC) Public Awareness Campaign, and the Orange County Civic Center Video Surveillance System.
