 Hi, I'm Gustavo Ortiz with Cal OES. This week, Cal OES continues to work with local and state authorities across California to help prepare our communities for the upcoming storm season. After the winter storms at the beginning of the year, Cal OES has been working with local and state partners in Tulare and King's counties to protect communities, reinforcing levees, removing debris, and preposition resources in the event of a new storm. The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services encouraged all Californians to make sure they are prepared to stay safe on the road. Know that weather forecast during your travel, and know what to do before, during, and after a winter storm. And if you can, stay off the road during and after the storm. Finally, give the gift of preparedness by helping your family and friends be ready for the next storm. Talk with them about creating an emergency plan, find the best evacuation routes, and sign up for emergency alerts at calarets.org.
