Emergencies: communication.

Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, requires the California Emergency Management Agency to coordinate the emergency services of all state agencies in connection with emergencies, and to establish a standardized emergency management system for use by all emergency response agencies. This bill would require the agency, in cooperation with the office of the State Chief Information Officer, to develop and operate a full-time wireless communications system providing the public with emergency information that is accessible by cellular telephone, text pager, or computer.
