Piedmont Pines wins praise from civic leaders as being one of Oakland's most organized and productive voluntary neighborhood associations. 

When we speak, we're listened to.

Why?  Decision makers know our residents care and stay engaged. We
pitch in on beautification projects, keep one another informed, protect against crime, gain emergency preparedness skills, and the list goes on.  And we vote.

March 2023: PPNA hosted a webinar on Fire Safety Webinar to help our residents prepare for their annual fire inspections and know how to harden their properties against fire risks. Deputy Fire Chief Covington, Fire Marshall Bryant and Emergency Management Services manager Jessica Feil gave an impressive overview of all that's going on in the city and across the high risk fire areas to be ahead of fire season. Wlad Wlassowsky updated us on our utility undergrounding project and Doug Mosher of the Oakland Firesafe Council outlined tools and workshops available to help us be better prepared for fire risks.
