** San Diego Flood Community Clean-up ** San Diegans! We need you! Volunteers will remove materials from homes damaged by the floods. EVERY SATURDAY 8AM-2PM. We need your help! Clean-up areas are in 92102, 92113 & 91977 zip codes. Specific addresses will be emailed to volunteers. Help bring flood-impacted families back home! Join volunteers in a one-day effort to make their homes safe, sanitary, and secure. Yes, it is dirty work, but it comes with a sense of accomplishment! Volunteers will remove materals from homes, impacted by the January floods. They will also assist in removing damaged construction-related and household materials, including drywall, insulation, floorboards, paneling, other damaged items from homes. This project is for volunteers ages 18 and up. Volunteers should wear loose, comfortable clothing that they will not mind getting dirty. Saturday, closed-toe shoes are required. Volunteers will be provided with the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for their tasks. Bring a water bottle, snacks, sunscreen (if needed). Do not bring any valuables as they would likely need to be locked up in a car.

Last week Merced County OES Manager, Adam Amaral attended the California Emergency Services Association (CESA) Annual Conference and Training in Palm Springs. Adam and a group of colleagues presented at the CESA Conference discussing effective strategies to aid children in the wake of disaster. This workshop provided best practices on how to reduce trauma for children during disasters through camp. Children often experience stress, anxiety and trauma during disasters and uncertain times. By providing them with a fun and safe space, it allows their family to work on the next steps to recovery. #mercedcounty #projectcamp #CalOES
STATEWIDE COLLABORATION: Mono County Board of Supervisors Meet with California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Last week, during the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) Annual Legislative Conference in Sacramento, Mono County Supervisors and leadership had the opportunity to meet with representatives from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, commonly known as Cal OES. Cal OES serves as the state’s leadership hub during all major emergencies and disasters. This includes responding, directing, and coordinating state and federal resources and mutual aid assets across all regions to support the diverse communities across the state. Cal OES also supports local jurisdictions and communities through planning and preparedness activities, training, and facilitating the immediate response to an emergency through the longer‐term recovery phase. During this process, Cal OES serves as the state’s overall coordinator and agent to secure federal government resources through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Cal OES has been helpful during extreme weather events in Mono County, including during last year’s extreme winter season. #MonoCounty #MonoCountyCA #cacounties #CalOES #CSAC #CSACLegislativeConference #CSACLeg #caleg
THANK YOU: California Governor's Office of Emergency Services and Mono County IT Join Forces to Restore Emergency Communications in North County The Sweetwater Repeater that supports radio communication for North County Fire, EMS, and Law Enforcement was damaged and non-functional following the previous two winter storm seasons. During this time, access to the Repeater was impacted due to snow, leaving North Valley emergency communications impacted. Mono County’s Office of Emergency Management submitted an emergency request for state assistance to address this critical issue. Early this month, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) arrived in Mono County with a snowcat. Utilizing the snowcat, Cal OES and Mono County IT were able to access the Sweetwater Repeater and successfully get it back online, officially restoring emergency communications in North County. #MonoCounty #MonoCountyCA #cacounties #CalOES #RuralCA

But the Golden State is also susceptible to natural disasters because of the frequency of earthquakes, landslides, forest fires, super storms, flooding, and intense heat, particularly in its desert regions. According to Gov. Gavin Newsom, severe flooding resulted in more than 200,000 California homes and businesses being left without power in 2023. To help families prepare for disasters, the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) has launched the Listas program. This informational campaign, featuring women from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, teaches other women how to prepare for natural disasters.

The latest #earthquake, a 4.8-magnitude, just hit New Jersey and the effects were felt throughout the Northeast, including New York and Boston. Even though there currently aren't any injuries or damages like what we've seen in Taiwan, this is a warning sign we need to be better prepared for such disasters, especially for major cities. California is a disaster-prone state and as chair of the Emergency Management Committee and the vice chair of the Seismic Safety Commission, I've seen how critical it is to prepare for what's coming next. Because it is coming. Read more at the @latimes. Link in comments. #CALeg #CalOES

Taiwan, like California, is no stranger to earthquakes, but has kept the toll on its nearly 23 million residents mostly contained because of its #earthquakepreparedness.

This week, the Alameda Fire Department started conducting annual Wildland Fire refresher training. This annual training prepares Alameda Firefighters for the upcoming fire season by refreshing on equipment, tactics, and procedures used when responding to vegetation fires. The Alameda Fire Department is a proud member of the CA Mutual Aid system which allows personnel and apparatus to respond to large scale incidents throughout local, regional, and state jurisdictions. AFD has the capability to deploy engines, water tenders, an OES engine, and single resource personnel to assist our neighbors throughout the state in a time of need. #AlamedaCityFire #Alameda #Bayareafirefighter #AlamedaFirefighters #CalOes #MutualAid Alameda Firefighters
Last weekend, Alameda Fire Department CA US&R Task Force 4 members participated in a large scale US&R Mobilization Exercise (MOBEX).

Participation on a CalOES US&R Task Force is a huge commitment and responsibility - above and beyond that which members already give to our department. AFD is proud of our Alameda Firefighters commitment and dedication to serving in disasters, at a local, state, and national level. #AlamedaCityFire #AlamedaCounty #Alameda #CAtf4 #CalOES @alamedafirefighters689 @oaklandusar4

CIL’s Emergency Preparedness team hopes that our communities have remained as safe as possible during the Bay Area’s recent severe February storms. While the worst of the high rains and winds have passed through the Bay Area, we know that many of us are still without power, and navigating downed trees and other fallout from the storms. As a Disability Disaster Access and Resources Center (DDARC) and CalOES Listos Partner, CIL is here to support people with disabilities and older adults across Northern Alameda County who are being impacted by this winter storm. Our Emergency Preparedness and Resiliency team is available to provide emergency planning, referrals to community resources, and other material resource support for those displaced from their homes due to power outages or loss of heat due to the storm’s severe rains and winds. Especially if you or a loved one is without power and rely on electricity to meet your medical or access needs, please reach out to CIL as soon as possible. We can be reached at or 510-422-5085 or 510-422-5068 (CIL’s Emergency Preparedness Team Leads) or at [email protected] Our communities can access important storm, flood, and power outage preparedness and recovery resources by going to the Listos California Resource Hub at: https://www.listoscalifornia.org/resources/ #CIL #CenterForIndependentLiving #EmergencyPreparedness #CalOES #ListosCA [Image Description] Teal Graphic with decorative white and yellow dots and a megaphone.

Merced County, we're still not out of the woods just yet. There is a chance for some thunderstorms this afternoon. Remember, when there are thunderstorms there could also be heavy rain and lightning. When thunder roars, go indoors! Always seek shelter in an enclosed building or car with the windows rolled up and wait 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder to return outside. Be safe out there! #mercedcounty #mercedcountysheriff #CalOES
Merced County, we strongly encourage you to stay alert, safe, and aware of your surroundings during and after a storm, but it's especially important during extreme weather events just like the one we experienced yesterday. Make sure to stay clear of any debris on the roadways. If you see downed power lines and poles, stay away, and do not exit your car or home.

The season’s strongest storm is expected to bring heavy rain, snow and wind from the evening of Saturday, February 3 through at least Tuesday, said National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Schoening at an emergency response briefing held by the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) on Saturday. https://ethnicmediaservices.org/breaking-news/california-prepares-for-strongest-winter-storm/ #california #storm #atmosphericriver #rain #wind #CalOES #flood #flooding #emergencyservice #ethnicmedia #ethnicmediaservices
