Interoperable Communications systems are designed to allow first responders
to effectively communicate across disciplines and geographic distances
during times of emergency. The original FY 2007 PSIC Grant was approved by
Council at the May 5, 2008 meeting. The California Emergency Management
Agency has identified additional funding for the Santa Ana Urban Area in
the amount of $196,774. The additional funds cover management and
administration costs associated with this grant.
