INTRODUCTION For the past two years, the federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP), provided funding to California for terrorism and WMD preparedness, including preventing, responding to and recovering from, threats and incidents of terrorism. In 2003 and 2004 the Orange County Sheriff's Department was selected to receive and distribute funds under two grant programs, the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) and the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP). Under these two programs the County of Orange was designate as the Orange Operational Area (OA). Building on the foundation established under the State Homeland Security Program, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP), designated the cities of Santa Ana and Anaheim as Urban Areas (UAs) under the FY 2004 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). Each city has been awarded a grant to create a sustainable model for preparedness to prevent, respond to and recover from acts of terrorism. Although each city is a designated Urban Area in its own right, the cities developed and submitted to ODP a joint grant strategy. Continuing in this spirit of cooperation the Santa Ana and Anaheim Urban Areas (UAs) are working with the Orange Operational Area and are pooling resources to develop a countywide strategic plan. This plan will accurately assess vulnerabilities and gaps, and help develop effective strategies to fill those gaps on a countywide basis by using existing and future grant funds. We expect that additional homeland security grant funds will become available to the Orange County Operational Area (OA) through the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) and other grant programs. The City of Anaheim, as a representative of the Orange County Operational Area (OCOA), is one of four cities selected by DHS to participate in the Regional Technology Integration Initiative (RTII). As part of this program, DHS will be providing resources to Page 26 of 51
