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