The Bay Area UASI is widely viewed as having an important,
ground breaking regional approach to the prevention, protection, response and
recovery efforts associated with terrorism and disasters both natural and
man-made, that is recognized and may be replicated throughout the state and
across the country. A multi-year agreement allows the coordination of UASI funds
with other federal funding sources towards all hazards preparedness, response or
recovery initiatives such as Regional Catastrophic Planning, Interoperable
Communications, Information Sharing, and
Chemical/Biological/Radiological/Nuclear capabilities.
The Bay Area Urban Area Security
Initiative program's footprint is comprised of three major cities (Oakland, San
Francisco, and San Jose) and ten counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa,
San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Sonoma), and more
than 100 incorporated cities.
- Enhances regional capability through regional
collaboration.
- Targets funding to build core capabilities to
prevent, respond, and recover from disaster.
- Responsibly leverages and manages grant funds
to achieve the optimal result with the dollars available, using
a regional approach.
- Researches, learns from, and shares what works
well and what does not to inform program/product development.
- Through strategic, well thought through,
multi-year program plans, builds on work that started with the
Regional Emergency Coordination Plan; continues this year with
program assessments, plans, toolkits, guidebooks, other
equipment and training; and will advance in 2009 and beyond to
bring about greater implementation and training.
- To improve the capacity to prevent,
protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist
incidents or related catastrophic events by providing planning,
training, equipment and exercises to the UASI region.
