Listos California

Listos California’s statewide campaign is funded by the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to establish resilient communities and build a new culture of disaster preparedness for all Californians. Listos California is “an effort to boost disaster preparedness by engaging over one million of the most vulnerable Californians and connecting them with culturally and linguistically competent support.” Many of Listos California’s materials are translated into multiple languages including Spanish, Chinese, Filipino, Korean and Vietnamese.

We highly recommend taking a look at this outstanding Listos California content, starting with the following suggestions:

• Check out the Listos California website
• Watch the Listos California introduction video
• Learn the 5 Safety Steps for Any Disaster
• Review disaster information and resources specific to Alameda County
• Reference many additional tools and resources that can be used to prepare for a disaster

The OCP&R program was developed with Oakland in mind. We focus on the priority steps that our residents should take to prepare for and be better able to respond to a disaster that may (will at some time) occur in our area. And there are many other sources of information, including Listos California, that we strongly recommend you check-out. Wherever you get your emergency preparedness information, OCP&R hopes that you will take it to heart and act on the steps to be better prepared for a disaster.
