UASI provides funds to local emergency first responders to <br />enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of <br />terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti-terror equipment, planning, training, <br />exercises and technical assistance. <br />In FY 2006 the United States Department of Homeland Security combined the Anaheim UASI and <br />the Santa Ana UASI into a single Urban Area. The City of Santa Ana will continue to be <br />designated as an Urban Area Core City and will share grant administrative responsibilities with the <br />City of Anaheim. <br />In September of 2011 the City of Santa Ana was awarded $7,421,142 in UASI grant funds. In July <br />of 2012, the California Emergency Management Agency (CaIEMA) identified the City of Santa Ana <br />to receive additional FY2011 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funds in the amount of <br />$300,000 for use in supporting the Orange County intelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Approval of the Appropriation Adjustment will increase revenues in the FY 2011 UASI Grant <br />account (account no. 12514002-52001) by $300,000 and appropriate same in the FY 2011 UASI <br />Grant expenditure accounts (account no. 12514407-various). <br />20C-1
