DISCUSSION The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative funding program (UASI), which provides funds to local emergency first responders to enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti -terror equipment, planning, training, exercises and technical assistance. In FY 2006.the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) combined the Anaheim:UASI and the Santa Ana UASI into a single Urban Area. The City of Santa Ana -will continue to be designated as an Urban Area Core City and will share grant administrative responsibilities with the City of Anaheim. The City of Santa Ana Police Department has worked with the City of Anaheim, the 55A-1 Homeland Security Grant Program January 16, 2018 Page 2 County of Orange, and cities within the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area to determine current capabilities and needs, and have established goals and objectives for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area. The Police Department will work in collaboration with the City of Anaheim to develop projects and implement complimentary strategies for responding to acts of terrorism. Total funding for the UASI Grant Program is established through an Appropriation Act set forth by Congress. Award amounts for each Urban Area are determined using a methodology assessing relative risk of terrorism, in accordance with the 9/11 Act. Over the years, Congress has steadily decreased the amount of funding allocated to DHS and subsequently the UASI Grant Program. As a result, the total number of Urban Areas and the award amounts have been greatly reduced. Santa Ana's UASI award amount has steadily decreased from a high of $25,254,334 in 2004 to the current FY17 award of $4,344,000. In addition, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) has identified the City of Santa Ana to receive FY2017 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funds in the amount $300,000 for use in supporting the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC). The overall award to the City of Santa Ana totals $4,644,000 for FY2017.
