In 2019, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) launched the California For All public outreach campaign, now known as Listos California. This funding enables LCCOs to bring emergency preparedness training and resources to vulnerable and underserved populations. These populations are routinely more impacted by disasters, so this program ensures they are better prepared and more likely to survive, and recover from, disasters and large-scale emergencies.
Through December 2023, Catholic Charities have provided Listos services to over 1,224,000 individuals. Successful implementation of this program means that vulnerable populations who are routinely more impacted by disasters will be better prepared and more likely to survive and recover from large-scale emergencies, like California’s wildfires.
Services are currently offered in: Butte, Trinity, San Diego, Los Angeles, Ventura, Imperial, Santa Barbara, Yolo, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Shasta, Glenn, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Merced, Kings, Kern, Tulare, NVCSS, Marin, San Mateo, and San Francisco Counties.
