California is experiencing a large winter storm with flash flood
risks, heavy snow for the Sierra and other mountain ranges, and
high wind warnings/advisories remain in effect for much of the
state.
CalOES Deployed Resources Across the State:
On Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom activated the state operations
center of the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES)
which triggers the coordination of federal, state and local
agencies in response to the effects of a string of atmospheric
rivers expected to move across the state over the next two to
three weeks. As a result, Cal OES is mobilizing crews around the
state by
pre-positioning fire trucks and strike teams to provide quick
response to communities most at risk for damage.
