2 City Council Report EMERGENCY MANAGEMErrr AND HOMELAND SECURITY GRANTS The UASI program addresses the unique planning, organizational, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density, urban areas, and assists these areas in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. Scottsdale has been a recipient of this type of grant since FY 2007 related to the City's response to CBRNE incidents and terrorism prevention efforts. Vulnerability to terrorism and other disasters in the urban area is concentrated in the Phoenix metropolitan area with an impact to surrounding cities. Thus, to be effective, the ability to prevent and detect, as well as manage, both crisis (threats and prevention] and consequences (event impacts) should be highly prioritized in Scottsdale. CBRNE response personnel are trained in the use of specialized personal protective equipment in order to safely enter hazardous environments. ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT The purchase of additional equipment and training for CBRNE response personnel will enhance and help sustain response capabilities for the northeastern part of the Phoenix metropolitan area. This equipment will also enhance and sustain CBRNE-response as well as hazardous materials responses to the citizens ofthe City ofscottsdale. The purchase ofthe telephoto camera lens, radiation detector and the conference attendance will enhance and help sustain the capabilities of our Police and Fire TLO's. Significant Issues to be Addressed None RESOURCE IMPACTS Available funding There are no matching fund requirements associated with this grant Staffing, Workload Impact No additional staffing required. Cost Recovery Options There are no additional cost recovery opportunities.
