Our Mission:

Identifying the needs of all Californians before, during, and after disasters and working with emergency managers and whole community stakeholders to integrate those needs throughout every facet of the State’s emergency management system.

Our Vision for Resilience in CA:

The Resilience Branch envisions a California where every community, regardless of its background, possesses the knowledge, resources, and support needed to proactively address and mitigate the impacts of natural disasters. We aspire to be a driving force in the creation of sustainable and adaptive solutions, ensuring that our state not only recovers but emerges stronger and more resilient after every hazard. By seamlessly integrating mitigation planning with grant funding and technical assistance, we aim to build a future where California’s landscapes and communities are fortified against the challenges of an evolving climate.
