The Bay Area Urban Areas Security Initiative (Bay Area UASI) sustains and improves regional capacity to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist incidents and catastrophic events.

The Bay Area UASI facilitates regional meetings and workshops to coordinate and implement projects and exercises.

The Bay Area UASI is governed by a multi-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) between the participants and is managed through a three-tiered governance structure.
