 All that rain and all that snow, it's a blessing when California is enduring drought, but as you know, large amounts of precipitation in a short time span can be hazardous. So as the state's emergency manager, Cal OES is here to help communities prepare for and respond to dangerous weather conditions. And when local, state, tribal or federal partners come calling for help, the state operations center or SOC, SOC and a dedicated team of response experts activate. We have activated the state's emergency operations center. The SOC activates at level three, the first of three levels based on the needs of the incident. Enough staff to handle the job of coordinating resources with governmental, nongovernmental and tribal partners locally and statewide. We take requests that come in from local agencies up to the state and then we look at the best possible way to coordinate that and find the folks the resources they may need. Here they receive critical, timely information from relevant officials. The SOC then works to meet the specific needs of those officials. It could be warming centers, supplies, heavy equipment, generators, PPE or simply taking those requests to a more appropriate agency. And depending on the severity of weather, the SOC may run two 12-hour shifts, 24 hours a day, until the crisis is over.
