The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) aims to provide funding and support for communities to implement mitigation activities that significantly reduce the risk to life, property, and infrastructure from natural hazards, furthering resilience against emergencies such as wildfires, earthquakes, droughts, extreme heat, floods, and other natural disasters as specified in the State Hazard Mitigation Plan.
The grant program aims to offer financial assistance particularly for physical facility and digital security enhancements. This funding is targeted at health care practitioners across California who provide abortion-related and reproductive health care services, aiming to protect them from potential violence and vandalism. This program is facilitated by the collaboration between HCAI and the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), underscoring a commitment to strengthening the security and safety of health care facilities in the state.
