DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area
Security Initiative grant from the federal Department of Homeland
Security, through the State of California, Office of Homeland Security.
This ini tiati ve was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of
urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have
adequate equipment and systems to prevent, respond to and recover from
acts of terrorism. The grant provides total reimbursement to local
agencies for equipment purchases approved and authorized by the federal
Office of Domestic Preparedness.
The Fire Department requires a portable hazardous material chemical
identifier to allow firefighters and first responders to identify
unknown substances at the scene of incidents that may result from acts
of terrorism. The HazMat 10 Command System is a data collection system
that will run a complete analysis with a single drop of liquid or a few
grains of powder, and identify the unknown substance as well as alert
the user when a possible biological material is present. Wireless
access communication allows incident command to control the system
software remotely while responders collect the sample. The system can
be used in extreme temperatures and 0-100 percent humidity, and is
completely waterproof.
