 Hello, my name is Lori Najura and I'm the Deputy Director of Planning Preparedness and Prevention at Cal OES. September is Preparedness Month, and as I speak with you today, we have tens of thousands of Californians who are evacuated from their homes due to the Caldor, Dixie, and other wildfires in the state. Let's take this moment to reflect on our own personal emergency preparedness. You can find more information about how to prepare yourself and your family at caloes.ca.gov or listoscalifornia.org. There you'll find disaster preparedness guides, other materials, and links that will help you. It's five easy steps to get prepared. Number one, sign up for alerts. You need to get your county's emergency alerts signed up for at calalertes.org. You should also download Earthquake Early Warning. You can do that by downloading the My Shake app from Google Play or the Apple Store for free. Second, create a plan. You'll need to know how to evacuate if you're asked to do so, and you'll want to put together an emergency contact list so that you can communicate with loved ones and others if you have to leave the area. Then third and fourth, put together a go bag or a stay box in the event that you have to shelter in place. Make it fun. Send the kids on a scavenger hunt through the house so that they can gather up the items that you need for your bag or your box. And finally, fifth, help your neighbors. Help them know that they need to make a plan and to sign up for alerts and put together a go bag or a stay box and an emergency contact list. Once again, you can find more information on preparedness at caloes.ca.gov, including our fourth grade curriculum and family guide called Preparedness Ambassadors. Go through that with your school-aged children. And don't forget to follow CalOES social media, as well as your local government social media. You'll get key information for disaster preparedness and response. I want to thank you and remind you, let's be prepared, California.
