In addition, eligible non-profit organizations may be sponsored by an agency that has an approved FEMA Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) in place; the City of Santa Ana's plan was approved on May 10, 2005. The City'S LHMP supports seismic structural mitigation that benefits our community, emergency operations, and surrounding areas. The St. Joseph Hospital of Orange facility is a critical component of the City's LHMP emergency response operations. As such, St. Joseph's requests 55C-1 Resolution for FEMA Grant January 2, 2007 Page 2 sponsorship of three FEMA grant applications for the Hospital's seismic mitigation projects at the Main, South, and East/West Buildings. With an aggregate cost estimate of $38,993,019 for all three projects, each grant request is for $3 million. St. Joseph Health System has committed to provide all other project costs through private non-profit funding. The City will not provide any matching funds. Totaling 339,971 square feet in floor area, each of the three buildings were built in 1961 and analyses performed to determine the seismic deficiencies of the buildings indicate that they pose a significant risk of collapse and danger to the public. The buildings are essential in providing critical health care services to the surrounding community, and the mitigation of life-safety hazards is mandated by the State of California in order for the hospital to remain in service. Funding these projects reduces overall risks to the population and structures, while also reducing reliance on funding from actual disaster declarations. Approval of the resolution allows St. Joseph's to participate in FEMA's nationally-competitive program and authorizes City staff to file the Pre- Disaster Mitigation grant applications on the Hospital's behalf.
