DISCUSSION The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative funding program (UASI), which provides funds to local emergency first responders to enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti -terror equipment, planning, training, exercises and technical assistance. In Fiscal Year 2006 the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) combined the Anaheim UASI and the Santa Ana UASI into a single Urban Area, which mirrors the County of Orange geographic footprint. The City of Santa Ana will continue to be designated as an Urban Area Core City and will share grant administrative responsibilities with the City of Anaheim. The City of Santa Ana Police Department has worked with the City of Anaheim, the County of Orange, and cities within the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area to determine current capabilities and needs, and have established goals and objectives for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area. The Police Department will work in collaboration with the City of Anaheim to develop projects and implement complimentary strategies for responding to acts of terrorism. 55A-1 Homeland Security Grant Program January 15, 2019 Page 2 The City of Santa Ana will be awarded funding for the Fiscal Year 2019 UASI Grant Program in an amount to be determined by Cal OES by the third quarter of 2019.
