In the face of a powerful storm battering California, Governor Gavin Newsom took decisive action this morning by visiting the State Operations Center in Mather.
There, alongside experts, he received crucial updates on the storm’s trajectory and the state’s coordinated response efforts.
The storm, which poses a significant threat with the potential for flooding, landslides, travel disruptions, and an increase in 911 calls, prompted Governor Newsom to mobilize a record 8,500 state-coordinated, prepositioned emergency assets.
These resources stand ready to swiftly respond to any emergencies that may arise throughout the duration of the storm.
During his visit to the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) State Operations Center in Mather, Governor Newsom engaged with experts to ensure that the state is well-prepared to address the various challenges posed by the powerful weather system.
The center serves as a hub for monitoring and coordinating emergency responses, emphasizing the state’s commitment to the safety and well-being of its residents.
