Earthquake and emergency preparedness.
Summary
Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, requires the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) to be responsible for the state's emergency and disaster response services, and requires state entities to cooperate with Cal EMA in carrying out its duties. This bill would, beginning on July 1, 2010, authorize Cal EMA to require any state entity that publishes an Internet Web site to prominently display on the homepage of that Internet Web site a link, as specified by Cal EMA, that connects a user to an Internet Web page created and maintained by Cal EMA, in consultation with the Seismic Safety Commission, that provides specified information regarding earthquake and emergency preparedness for the home and workplace.
