The principal objective of the Office of Emergency Services (OES) is to protect lives and property, build capabilities, and support our communities for a resilient California. The OES serves the public through effective collaboration in preparing for, protecting against, responding to, recovering from, and mitigating the impacts of all hazards and threats.
On a day-to-day basis, the OES provides leadership, assistance, training, and support to state and local agencies and coordinates with federal agencies in planning and preparing for the most effective use of federal, state, local, and private sector resources in emergencies.
