RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager, and Fire Chief to submit a
grant application to the State of California, Office of Emergency Services
for the fiscal year 2005 Metropolitan Medical Response System Grant funding
program.
DISCUSSION
For the past few years the Santa Ana Fire Department has participated in
the Metropolitan Medical Response System Program (MMRS). In 2005 this
grant was moved under the Department of Homeland Security, Office of
Domestic Preparedness, Urban Areas Security Initiative umbrella in an
attempt to ease the application process. The MMRS Grant allows local
government agencies to be prepared to manage the medical, public health,
population protection and environmental health impacts of various types of
emergency situations. The grant focuses on two maj or areas "capability"
and "sustainment." These two focuses address the City's preparedness for
chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) incidents
and the City's plan for pharmaceutical and equipment cache management, and
training exercises.
