October 12 Update- This event has been postponed to early
2022.
September 30, 2021
State, federal, and local emergency managers, and policymakers
are invited to join Cal OES on November 3, 2021,
for a Zoom conference to discuss the current status of hazard
mitigation policy and action in California, and the critical next
steps needed to ensure a safer future for all of
California.
Californians are currently battling wildfire, drought, and the
COVID-19 pandemic. These compounding hazards highlight the need
to make policies and investments that will build resilience,
especially in the state’s most vulnerable communities. Proactive
mitigation actions, taken now to reduce or eliminate the
long-term risk to human life, property, and the environment from
hazards, are the key to building that resilience.
Featured speakers include Ryan Buras, Cal OES Deputy Director for
Recovery, and Jennifer Hogan, State Hazard Mitigation Officer.
