 I'm Public Information Officer Laura Scott. This week in coordination with local and federal partners, Cal OES continues to open recovery centers statewide to assist Californians affected by winter storms. Working to bring more resources to impacted communities at California's request, FEMA has approved disaster assistance for 28 counties. Additionally, Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on January 31st to support the state's ongoing storm response and recovery efforts. In the spirit of building international relationships, a delegation from the Republic of Korea met with Cal OES Director Nancy Ward to learn about California's emergency management system, including how the state coordinates in response to disasters such as floods and wildfires. As the state's lead emergency management agency, Cal OES works closely with local agencies to help train first responders and emergency managers. Cal OES hosted a winter search and rescue training in Mammoth to help first responders hone their skills to provide life-saving aid to Californians in need.
