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 vision of the Anaheim and Santa Ana urban areas is to develop and
support a well-coordinated, regional emergency management system to
prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from acts of
terrorism, maj or disasters, and other emergencies. To successfully
achieve the vision, it is necessary to have an incident management
system (IMS) that will allow all of the jurisdictions within the two
urban areas to adopt a common approach for responding to and managing
all types of emergencies. The IMS consists of a computerized web-based
system that allows the jurisdictions to effectively and efficiently
manage all of the resources allocated to handling an emergency. The
system also maintains the data needed to produce the documentation

necessary to seek reimbursement for those emergencies qualifying for

contract with ESi Acquisition, Inc. for an incident management system
was awarded based upon solicitation of proposals.
