UASI provides funds to <br />local emergency first responders to enhance security and overall <br />preparedness to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. <br />The grant specifically provides funding for anti-terror equipment, <br />planning, training, exercises and technical assistance. <br /> <br />In FY 2006, the United States Department of Homeland Security combined the <br />Anaheim UASI and the Santa Ana UASI into a single Urban Area. The City of <br />Santa Ana will continue to be designated as an Urban Area Core City and <br />will share grant administrative responsibilities with the City of Anaheim. <br /> <br />The Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area was selected by the Governor's Office of <br />Homeland Security to host the FY 2007 State of California Southern Region <br />Golden Guardian Full-Scale Exercise. This exercise is designed to test <br />both the Urban Area and State's emergency response capabilities. The full- <br />scale exercise will focus on an improvised explosive devise involving a <br />stadium and mass transit. URS/EG&G is currently under contract to design, <br />develop, and execute the exercises outlined in the Urban Area's Three-Year <br />Exercise Plan. URS/EG&G will modify their current scope of work to now <br />include the design, development, and execution of the FY 2007 Golden <br />Guardian Full-Scale Exercise. <br /> <br />250-1 <br />
