Summary

The bill orders the Office of Emergency Services (OES) to convene a wide range of public and private partners for large‑scale tabletop exercises every two years, using simulated flood and earthquake scenarios. It also directs OES, together with California Volunteers, to provide yearly disaster‑preparedness training for vulnerable neighborhoods, including tests of local alert systems. The aim is to improve coordination, communication, and community resilience before real catastrophes occur.
