Listos California and Walden Family Services want everyone to stay safe this summer. The summer weather brings new threats that could impact Californians, like wildfire, heat, water safety and power outages. Let’s work together to establish more resilient communities and help all Californians to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters.
Heat is deadlier than any other weather hazard. California is experiencing more frequent episodes of extreme heat, creating a greater danger to Californians from heat-related illness. Check the local news and resources for weather forecasts, extreme heat alerts, and cooling centers and visit Heat Ready CA for more helpful resources and information.
Being prepared for a disaster is much simpler than you think. Doing some small things today can help make sure you, your family, pets and other important people in your life are safe and cared for when disaster strikes.

About Listos California
Every Californian, regardless of age, ability, income or language, deserves culturally competent education to prepare for wildfire, flood, earthquake, drought, heatwave and other disasters. Thanks to a continuous investment of public funds by Governor Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers, Listos California engages a statewide network of community-based organizations, Tribal Governments, and Community Emergency Response Teams across the state to boost resiliency, provide accessible in-language information and advance a new culture of disaster preparedness.
Anchored at the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) since 2019, Listos California has succeeded in reaching millions of Californians who otherwise wouldn’t have access to lifesaving emergency preparedness information. Providing tools to help vulnerable Californians not only survive, but also thrive post-disaster, is what makes Listos California so vital.
