Director's Message The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), serves as the State's leader for emergency management and homeland security agencies in California. As such, Cal OES realizes that our vision of building a safer and more resilient California will be achieved through collaboration and coordination with emergency management partners from communities large and small throughout our diverse state. We recognize that our mission to protect lives and property, build capabilities, and support our communities for a more prepared California can only be achieved because of the dedication of like- minded professionals, who are willing to work alongside Cal OES to support the National Preparedness Goal's associated mission areas and core capabilities. It is with profound gratitude for the hard work and commitment of our partners that we are pleased to announce the release of the Cal OES Fiscal Year 2015 Emergency Management Performance Grant Program (EMPG) — California Supplement to the Federal Program Notice of Funding Opportunity. As in previous years, Cal OES EMPG program specialists and emergency services coordinators remain available to assist you in successfully completing this and other emergency management programs in addition to supporting your emergency operations. As we continue to jointly advance California's comprehensive emergency preparedness system, we understand there is still much work to do. Yet, we can say with certainty that our communities are safer, better trained, and better prepared as a result of the EMPG Program and others like it. We have been entrusted with a duty and responsibility to the people of this state to provide leadership through service during some of the most difficult times our communities will face. We maintain that trust by fulfilling our mission with honesty, accountability, and transparency. It is a great honor for us to be working alongside partners that exemplify a commitment to maintaining that trust. We both welcome you and thank you for joining us in our forward leaning efforts to ensure California's optimum readiness to prevent, prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of all threats and hazards to life, property, and environment. tr MARK S.
