 I'm John Goodell here in Orange County near the tsunami-ready community of Seal Beach. This week, in recognition of September as National Preparedness Month, Cal OES has reminded all Californians to take simple steps now to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses, and communities. Bro, it's an earthquake. Disasters can strike at any time without warning. Build an emergency kit, have a family plan, and listen to local authorities if ordered to evacuate. Cal OES, in partnership with local state and federal agencies, will open a local assistance center to aid fork fire survivors in Madera County. The LAC will be open one day only on October 1st from 9 to 4 p.m. at North Fork Elementary. Replace lost or destroyed vital documents and get connected with support services. And finally, California deployed a team of emergency management and mass care specialists to Florida to aid response to Hurricane Ian. The team will provide expertise in facilitating shelters for those displaced by the hurricane, as well as assisting Florida's state operations center. Previously, Cal OES approved the deployment of local government firefighters to Florida as part of FEMA's Urban Search and Rescue System.
