Last week, the Governor launched a $75 million program to help mitigate the impacts of power shutoff. He also announced new tools to help secure medically vulnerable residents. “Power Shutoff continue to put California’s most vulnerable residents at risk. These proactive steps will help us protect…and ensure that there is is a continuity of care for individuals in health and community care facilities across the state,” said Gov. Newsom.
Furthermore, Gov. Newsom secured Fire Management Assistance grants to ensure resources are available to fight the ongoing blazes.
“California is grateful for the ongoing support as we battle fires up and down the state in extremely severe weather condition. I thank our heroic emergency responders and volunteers for their tireless life-saving work to safeguard communities across the state,” he said.
