DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Fire Department has received grant funding to further develop
its Hazardous Material Emergency Response Area Plan. This plan is used by
the Fire Department to mitigate potential incidents involving the
transporting of hazardous materials through the City of Santa Ana. Once
completed, the plan will include items such as protocol and procedures for
emergency response, facilities identification and likely routes to avoid
sensitive areas, like water supplies and schools. In order to prepare the
plan, the Fire Department recommends the assistance Tait Environmental
Management Inc. Tai t Environmental is the only company that can provide
three crucial elements to prepare a successful plan. These include a "web-
based" database for delivery in a wireless environment, no "outsourcing" of
plan design, and employee training.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Fire Department's HMEP Grant Other Contractual
Services account (account no. 146-331-6291).
