California Office of Emergency Services

The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is a cabinet-level office that oversees and coordinates emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and homeland security activities within California. While not directly involved in space technology development, Cal OES collaborates with agencies like NASA, leveraging data and resources from space-based assets for disaster response, such as during wildfires, to produce maps and data products to aid emergency responders. Cal OES also manages grants and training programs to support first responders and local governments in preparing for and responding to various emergencies. The agency works with federal, state, and local partners to ensure effective coordination during incidents.
