DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security, Office of Domestic
Preparedness has developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative funding
program (UASI). UASI provides funds to local emergency first responders to
enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond, and recover
from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti-
terror equipment, planning, training, exercises, and technical assistance.
Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City for the third
year. The Santa Ana / Anaheim Urban Area has been awarded funding from the
Department of Homeland Security UASI program in the amount of $11,980,000.
The UASI grant requires that certain Santa Ana Police, Jail, and City
personnel receive training in the National Incident Management System and
the Incident Command System. On September 5, 2006, the City Council
entered into an agreement with American Homeland Solutions to provide this
training. To date, 210 employees have received the required training.
However, due to scheduling conflicts, some personnel have not received the
training. Staff recommends approval of the recommended action in order to
complete this city-wide training effort.
