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 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. In September of 2011 the City of Santa Ana was awarded $7,421,142 in UASI grant funds. In July of 2012, the California Emergency Management Agency (CaIEMA) identified the City of Santa Ana to receive additional FY2011 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funds in the amount of $300,000 for use in supporting the Orange County intelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC).
