DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security has developed the Urban Areas Security
Initiative funding program (UASI), which 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 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 is designated as an Urban Area Core City and shares 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 funds in the amount
of $300,000 for use in supporting the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center. In May of
2014, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services identified the City of Santa Ana to
receive additional FY2011 Homeland Security Grant Program funds in the amount of $681,000.
These funds will be used to fund regional projects, including Orange County Intelligence
Assessment Center operations, enhancements to the OC Civic Center Surveillance System, and
hazardous materials detector equipment for the Regional HazMat Teams.
