During recent emergencies and disaster preparedness campaigns, many California residents were heard to ask "What is Cal EMA?"

Cal EMA (pronounced 'Kal-Eee-Emm-Ayy'), the California Emergency Management Agency, was created under Assembly Bill 38 – joining the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the Department of Homeland Security to form a single agency committed to providing California with the highest level of emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and hazard mitigation.

Cal EMA is an important agency with a statewide mission. We encourage you to learn more about Cal EMA leadership and vision through this video...
