Emergency Resources Prepositioned Ahead of State-wide Storm

With the potential for heavy rainfall and flooding throughout the state over the next week, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is prepositioning fire and rescue personnel and resources in areas most at risk for flooding, mud and debris flows.

Prepositioned Resources:
Local fire agencies identify when conditions in communities may require additional resources and submit requests to the state for support. Local officials coordinate the staging locations and response assignments. The California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System remains available for local officials to request additional resources during an incident if necessary.
