· FY02 State Domestic Preparedness Program Orange County Operational Area The contract city partners of the OCSD and the OCFA (noted in the funding distribution chart with an *) have designated the OCSD and OCFA to purchase equipment for law and fire first responders to support their jurisdictions (see budget worksheet). The funding allocated to the unincorporated area will be shared by the OCSD to purchase PPE for OCSD field deputies, the OCFA for detection equipment, and OC HCA/Environmental Health for PPE and Detection equipment (see budget worksheet). The OCSD Bomb Squad was allocated $150,000 to purchase a robot. The law enforcement equipment will be purchased by the OA and the equipment will be distributed to the jurisdictions. The equipment purchased for the OCFA will be purchased by the OA and the equipment will be sub granted to the OCFA. The Equipment purchases for HCA reflect the role of the Environmental Health Emergency Response Team (EH/ER). EH/ER is the HCA's on-scene representative at Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, and Radiological (NBCR) incidents. EH/ER is the local entity in charge of Environmental Surety issues, such as site quarantine, characterization, and remediation, at NBCR incidents. EH/ER takes a lead role in Biological Terrorism Response, with responsibilities that include sampling, screening, and transporting suspect Biological samples and acting as the interface between the Level 'B' Public Health Laboratory and the on-scene Unified Command. The 11 OC Special District Representatives were offered the opportunity to participate in the grant and allocated $10,000 each. The allocated funding to the Special Jurisdiction Representatives that was unallocated, or $60,000, was pooled together to purchase equipment to benefit the OA as a whole. Two specialty pieces of detection equipment will be purchased to support two of the four OC HMRT's and the remainder of the funding was allocated to the OC HCNEnvironmental Health for PPE (see budget worksheet). The funding for the equipment for the OCFA and HCA will be sub granted to them. The remainder of the funding has been distributed (base amount plus per capita) to the cities in OC that do not contract jointly with the OCSD/OCFA. The cities will be sub granted their perspective amounts to purchase equipment (see budget worksheet). If a jurisdiction(s) does not participate, their allocated funding will be used to purchase first responder equipment, from an established priority list, to benefit the OA as a whole. Measurable Proclram Obiectives Provide a narrative that contains measurable program outcomes/goals, objectives and evaluation methods for the equipment allocation. An example of a measurable program objective is: Goal: Address first responder equipment shortfalls identified in the Needs Assessment Ob/ective: Purchase all required equipment by the end of the grant award period. Evaluation Measure: Was the required equipment ordered by the end of the grant award period? Was the required equipment distributed by the end of the grant period?
