BACKGROUND:
|
The Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) is a Federal Department of Homeland Security grant that provides resources for the unique equipment, training, planning, and exercise needs of 64 selected national high threat urban areas. The Bay Area UASI is one of the 64 national urban areas and one of six identified in California.
The Bay Area UASI services a population of seven million and is comprised of three core cities; San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose; 10 Bay Area counties; and over 100 incorporated cities. The geographical area covered by this region equates to approximately 8,800 square miles.
The City and County of San Francisco has been designated to serve as the Fiscal Agent for the Approval Authority for UASI funds granted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA).
As with the FY 2009 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) concept, the FY 2010 UASI is intended to build enhanced regional capabilities across a larger geographical area. Funding is based on evaluated risk and need. This is accomplished through the submission of regional investment justifications that address specific needs to meet the target capabilities outlined in the National Preparedness goals.

DISCUSSION:
|
The Agreement with the City and County of San Francisco disburses a portion of the FY 2010 regional UASI grant funds to San Mateo County which will be used towards: 1) continuation of support and maintenance for the Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS); 2) purchasing interoperable communications equipment for the 700 MHz P25 radio sites; 3) outfitting an Urban Search and Rescue Support Vehicle; 4) purchasing a Tactical Intervention Vehicle; and 5) purchasing chemical detector equipment for the robot used by the Bomb Squad.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution and Agreement as to form.
Approval of this Agreement contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Collaborative Community by the cooperation of agencies within the County giving both regional and local responders the ability to share information in real time and across borders to ensure that the public’s safety as well as that of first responders is met in a responsible and timely manner.
