"Keeping communities safe means taking action before a storm arrives. Cal OES is putting the Governor’s emergency proclamation into action by leading coordination among state agencies, preparing resources, and supporting our local partners. Together, we’re working to protect vital routes like Highway 1, which coastal communities depend on to evacuate safely, connect with essential services, and receive help during emergencies." - Cal OES Director Caroline Thomas Jacobs

I just issued two executive orders to bolster protections along our coasts — and around Highway 1 — ahead of potentially dangerous El Niño storms. We're proactively putting state agencies to work to guard against possible storm damage and road closures.
