DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security has developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant funding program. UASI is designed to address the unique planning, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density urban areas and provides funds to local emergency first responders that assist in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, protect, respond to, mitigate, and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti- terrorism equipment, planning, training, exercises, and technical assistance. Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City since 2003. As such, for selected grant years, Santa Ana is the fiduciary for the region and manages projects, which includes providing training and procuring equipment utilized by the 34 jurisdictions in Orange County.
In an effort to address the unique needs of a high-density, high-threat urban area, the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA) allocates a set percentage of its annual grant allocation to fund training for the Orange County region.
