Assemblymember Kansen Chu will host a series of free online emergency preparedness trainings in English, Spanish, and Mandarin in partnership with California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), Listos California for ALL, and The Center on Disability at the Public Health Institute. The one-hour training covers 4 steps to prepare for emergencies or disasters: the actions you need to take now, how to protect yourself, your family, and your community, and how to prepare and use your emergency kit.
In 2019, California Governor Gavin Newsom and the State Legislature appropriated $50 million to fund the California for All Emergency Preparedness Campaign, a disaster-preparedness initiative housed at the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). This campaign, dubbed Listos California, is a statewide effort to boost disaster preparedness by engaging over one million of the most vulnerable Californians and connecting them with the resources needed to be prepared in an event of an emergency.
“Being prepared is the key to protecting yourself and your loved ones during an emergency. September is National Preparedness Month, and I want to provide the community with the tools to stay safe. ,” said Assemblymember Kansen Chu (D-Milpitas).
The virtual Town Hall is available on Zoom, phone, and Facebook Live:
