DISCUSSION:
The UASI Grant Program was authorized by Congress in 2003 and implemented by the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security to help strengthen the nation against risks
associated with potential terrorist attacks. The UASI Grant Program dedicates funding
support to select high -threat, high-density urban areas in order to address their unique
multi -discipline planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs to
prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism.
In FY 2019, 33 high -threat, high-density urban areas were eligible for funding under the
UASI Grant Program, including the Orange County Metropolitan Area. The City of Santa
Ana applied for, received, and accepted a $5,000,000 grant under the UASI Grant
Program from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) for use in the County of Orange to provide for terrorism
prevention and enhancement of emergency preparedness. The City of Santa Ana is
responsible for the management and administration of the UASI Grant Program and is
overseen by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).
The urban areas are chosen by DHS based on a formula that takes into account factors
such as critical infrastructure, population density, and credible threat information. Among
other densely populated areas, the City of Santa Ana was selected as the "core city" for
the Orange County Metropolitan Area and is responsible for the management and
administration of the UASI Grant Program.
The FY 2019 UASI Grant Program priorities for Orange County include:
• Strengthen Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive materials
(CBRNE) Detection, Response, and Decontamination Capability
• Enhance Information Collection, Analysis, & Dissemination
• Improve and Expand Critical Infrastructure Protection
• Citizen Preparedness and Participation
• Homeland Security Training Program
The City of Newport Beach is considered an urban area sub -recipient under this grant
program. Once the Transfer Agreement is approved, the City is eligible to receive
equipment and training.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
