Governor Gavin Newsom’s Listos California emergency preparedness campaign, an effort anchored at the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), has partnered with the Tribal Emergency Management Association (iTEMA) to prepare California’s communities for wildfire, earthquake and other disasters.
“iTEMA is an essential partner for California to build resiliency because they offer a perfect combination of authentic connection with California’s Tribal communities and deep experience in disaster preparedness,” said Listos California co-chairs Karen Baker and Justin Knighten. “iTEMA is best positioned to lead this work with the full support of a campaign born from the vision of Gov. Newsom and state lawmakers to reimage disaster preparedness to better engage our diverse and vulnerable Californians.”
