The High Frequency Communications Equipment Program ys^ill be used to establish the Costa Mesa High Frequency (HF) HF radio program. The Costa Mesa High Frequency (HF) HF radio program will serye as a redundancy / continuity / complementary measure for other communication systems in use in the City of Costa Mesa including:
landline telephone,

The Costa Mesa HF radio program will enable the City to communicate with local, regional, state, and federal partners yia HF yoice communications using HF radios installed in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) radio room and the combined Police/Fire dispatch center in the same public safety complex.
Some of these radios will be paired with computers supporting a data capability. A goal of this program is maximum interoperability with all local, regional, state, and federal partners while using HF.
HF communications will be planned and implemented in accordance with guidance from the Col OES Auxiliary Communications Seryice, Orange County Operational Area (OA), FCC Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, DHS SHAred RESources (SHARES) HF Radio Program, and the current yersion of the DHS National Interoperability Field Operations Guide.
The full grant amount of $60,000 is needed to enable the City to establish and operate redundant HF radios allowing radio operators to communicate with selected stations and communicate using yoice and data. This critical communication capability will proyide the City with the ability to address the need for specific assistance in the aftermath of a disaster, yersus the inability to communicate externally. The inability to communicate effectiyely may lead to delays in crucial assistance deployed to the areas most in need.
The Costa Mesa HF radio program will enable the City to maintain critical communications with the Orange County OA, local, state, and federal partners.

The system will not be solely dependent on shore-based electricity, haying a redundant backup power system and the ability to supplement with small scale solar.
Expenditures for this effort will include the procurement of HF tronsceiyer radios, anfennas, computers, chairs, and supporting infrastructure equipment.
Appropriate antennas and cabling will be procured and emplaced to maximize propagation, reliability, and receipt of fransmitfed signals on operofing frequencies wifh local/regional partners including the County of Orange as well as state and federal partners. The communications capability achieyed with the purchased equipment will directly support the City's ability to operate an interoperable HF communications system capable of yoice / dofo independent of disaster impacted infrastructure.
HF radios selected will facilitate maximum interoperability oyer HF, particularly when coupled with the laptop computers for ofher methods of communication, such as Winlink. Software licensing will ensure basic software is ayailable as necessary. Training will be facilitated to ensure all system operators gain the leyel of familiarity and proficiency necessary fo operafe fhe HF communicafions sysfems. Chairs will enable radio operafors fo sif down in the radio room. Backup power supplies will be procured to allow the HF radio systems to continue operation in the eyent of exfended power loss. These backup systems will be supplemented with existing emergency fixed and portable generators, solar panels, and solar chargers. With redundant back up power, the Costa Mesa HF radio program will continue to hoye the means necessary to exchange critical communications with local, regional, state, and federal partners when other means of communication are adyersely impacted. Costa Mesa is also prepared to relay communications taking place oyer HF, to other local and regional partners that may lack the same communications capability.

Subrecipient: City of Costa Mesa
In tine event of a disaster or other interruption in the communications infrastructure, Costa Mesa will use the HF radio system to shore information, coordinate, plan, and deploy with the Orange County Operational Area, other jurisdictions including neighboring cities and John Wayne Airport, local infrastructure partners including water and power, as well as complement the re-establishment of ofher public radio systems. The Costa Mesa HF radio program will have complete interoperability with the City's public safety command vehicle.
HF frequencies will enable the City to communicate over longer distances than VHF without dependence on additional infrastructure in the form of repeaters.
The procured HF radio capability will be used as a supplemental continuity measure in the event cellular and internet systems are non-functional, such as in the aftermath of a major earfhquoke. The value of this HF radio capability will be compounded if the same disaster causes a loss of functionolify in fhe public safety radio system used by agencies such as Costa Mesa Police and Costa Mesa Fire Rescue. For instance, in the aftermath of an incident, the City may begin to coordinate some contract purchases from organizations in neighboring counties or states without being solely dependent on the aid provided by state and federal partners. Costa Mesa is also prepared to relay communications taking place over HF, to other local and regional partners that may lack the same communications capability.
Costa Mesa will support testing through a combination of public safety dispatchers from the combined Police/Fire dispatch center in the same public safety complex, and the auxiliary communication unit of fhe Costa Mesa Police Department, an affiliated amateur radio organization known as Mesa Emergency Service Amateur Communications (MESAC). Costa Mesa High Frequency (HF) HF radio program is under the purview of the Costa Mesa Office of Emergency Managemenf.
