This initiative was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate and appropriate equipment and training to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City since 2003. As such, for certain grant years, Santa Ana is responsible for purchasing equipment and providing training to the other 34 jurisdictions in Orange County. The US Department of Homeland Security has identified Preventive Radiological/Nuclear Detection (PRND) capabilities, Critical Infrastructure & Key Resources (CIKR) protection, and First Responder all-hazards training & exercises, as priorities for state and local jurisdictions. The Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area has funded initial phases of the PRND, the Santa Ana PD/Civic Center camera (CIKR), and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) projects using FY2006- FY2009 UASI funds. These on-going projects require additional funding to complete future phases and development. 22A-1
