Bay Area" (PBA), the most comprehensive preparedness
campaign ever launched in the Bay Area. PBA is a unique
operational campaign designed to get one million Bay Area
residents in a six county area committed to and
demonstrating preparedness within three years. To achieve
this goal, PBA is partnering with businesses, faith
communities, government agencies, non-profits, schools,
community organizations and ethnic and neighborhood
communities to deliver "how to" information and training
everywhere Bay Area people work, play and worship. The
campaign additionally focuses upon vulnerable communities,
most at risk in a disaster.
To open the press conference, Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown will
deliver a short speech. Specifics of this plan will be
announced in depth by the Red Cross and community leaders.
An adjoining hall will hold the Red Cross "We Prepare
Business" conference to train Bay Area businesses for the
event of a disaster.

residential preparedness conditions, will be released today

Area, will also be released at the press conference.
