 With the 2022 wildfire season now upon us, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services is working closely with our partners to help protect you and your community. Our state employs the best trained, best equipped, and most tested emergency responders anywhere. This season we're adding more personnel, better equipment, and new technology to detect fires early and put them out where they start. We're leveraging new technology like our Rapid Reconnaissance Airplane and Wildfire Forecast Intelligence Center to detect fires faster than ever before. It's ability to keep firefighters safe, to rapidly identify fire spread, to be able to protect lives and property, and deploy resources will be essential in our ability to effectively respond to events that are impacting the state. Through the California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System, we deploy a fleet of more than 270 fire engines across 60 local partners. These partnerships are especially important as California experience is more frequent, severe disasters driven by climate change. It actually creates another state-level fire department that we can move through the Mutual Aid System in support of local government and Cal Fire or whatever other conditions that may fall to state. We also recognize that disasters disproportionately impact the most vulnerable members of our communities. The state has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in new programs like Leastos and Prepare California to build community resilience among vulnerable Californians. We're taking action now to be ready so when the next disaster strikes Cal OES and our partners will be there for each other and for all Californians in their time of need.
