Already An Award Winning Initiative

As a result of the City's efforts, in January, the Bay Area Chapter of the American Red Cross presented its Good Neighbor Award to the City of Alameda for "exceptional initiative in identifying and meeting community needs." Chapter Chief Executive Officer, Harold Brooks, observed, "The City of Alameda has chosen to lead the way in making the Bay Area the most prepared place in the nation. They have taken on the difficult goal of preparing their residents to handle the emergencies we know will come our way and their success makes them an invaluable partner."

Alameda Power & Telecom is proud to support and be a part of this leading effort.
