DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security has developed the Urban Areas Securities
Initiative (UASI) funding program. UASI 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 for interoperable communication equipment, planning,
training, and exercises.
The City of Santa Ana acting through the Santa Ana Police Department in its capacity as a Core
City and lead agency for the Anaheim / Santa Ana Urban Area under the Urban Areas Security
Initiative ("UASI"), has applied for, received and accepted a grant from the United States
Department of Homeland Security, which developed the Interoperable Emergency
Communications Grant Program (IECGP). The IECGP provide funds to emergency first
responders to improve interoperable emergency communications, including communications in
collective response to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disasters.
The Cal SIEC Southern Planning Area (SPA) is the governing body of the interoperable
emergency communications and is responsible for, coordinating training and exercises,
establishing Standard Operating Procedures, coordinating usage drills between operational areas
that inspire solutions for improving regional interoperability. One of the methods SPA
accomplishes this coordination is through exercises known as a "Radio Rodeos." Rodeos bring
federal, state, and local agencies together to participate in exercises that will establish common
usage procedures, interoperability channels and improving the understanding of the different
communications systems.

counties to the south. The radio rodeo clusters will establish communication links between all
agencies and their respective systems and will be instrumental in locating any failures to
communicate, which will be identified, examined and fixed.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding is identified and budgeted through the FY 2010 Interoperable Emergency
Communications Grant Program account (no.12514488-62300-11428101186-3501).
