 Hey California! With winter weather approaching much of our state, we here at the Governor's Office of Emergency Services are gearing up to work with local authorities to protect communities up and down our state. There are also a few basic steps you can take at home to keep yourself and your family safe. Stay up to date on the latest alerts by checking with authorities and signing up for notifications from your county or local Office of Emergency Services. Talk to your family so that you have a family emergency plan. And finally, check on loved ones and neighbors who may need a little bit of extra help if a power outage or other issue occurs in your community. Together we can get through this latest round of storms. Thank you.
