DISCUSSION:
The Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant was established in 2003, by the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide funding for training and
equipment for emergency personnel. 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 Cities of Santa Ana and Anaheim were jointly awarded
approximately $13 million dollars in the fiscal year 2008. Both UASI cities and
the County of Orange have teamed up to forge one of the most cohesive,
focused, and regional partnerships anywhere in the nation.
The City of Newport Beach falls within the Santa Ana UASI area, administered by the
City of Santa Ana. The Santa Ana UASI has set aside a total of $49,358.17 for the
City of Newport Beach for reimbursement of costs associated with training Fire and
Police personnel. The funds for the UASI grant will reimburse the City for any training
costs incurred such as tuition, overtime, back fill, and travel expenses for approved
courses. No matching funds are required to accept this grant.
