 Hello, my name is Cheryl Jones, Caloia Senior Emergency Services Coordinator assigned to Los Angeles County. February is Black History Month. This year, we'd like to highlight the role of emergency managers in community preparedness. As an emergency manager, we have the opportunity to work with local, state and federal partners to ensure equitable access to the emergency services and the resources needed to prepare for and recover from a disaster. As a woman of color, having the opportunity to assure the people in my community are adequately prepared for a disaster is truly an honor. I am Black History.
