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 initiative 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 Office
of Disaster Preparedness.
The Police Department requires portable shelters to provide the urban
areas capability to respond to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) events
or acts of terrorism, When responding to WMD events or acts of
terrorism it may be necessary for first responders to wear protective
sui ts, Having portable, rapidly deployable shelters will provide the
first responders with a location to privately put on and take off the
protective suits, as well as a climate-controlled environment in which
to recover, The portable shelters will be part of the equipment stored
in the WMD cargo trailers that will be strategically positioned
throughout the Santa Ana Urban area to facilitate a rapid response to
any WMD event or terrorist incident.
