DISCUSSION
For the past few years the Santa Ana Fire Department has participated in
the Metropolitan Medical Response System Program (MMRS). This year the
City via the Fire Department has been awarded a grant in the amount of
$400,000. This grant is through the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency. The MMRS Grant allows
local government agencies to be prepared to manage the medical, public
health, population protection and environmental health impacts of various
types of emergency situations. The grant focuses on two major areas
"capability" and "sustainment." The Capability focus addresses the
City's preparedness for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and
explosive incidents, while improving day-to-day operations including mass
casualty, hazardous materials and fire incidents. The Sustainment focus
addresses updating the City's sustainment plan, pharmaceutical and
equipment cache management, and training exercises.
