🤝 Strengthening Regional Emergency Preparedness!
Yesterday, the Merced County Office of Emergency Services (OES) was proud to host the Mutual Aid Regional Advisory Committee (MARAC) meeting for Region V at our Emergency Operations Center (EOC)!
MARAC brings together local governments, agencies, special districts, and emergency management partners through quarterly regional meetings to discuss preparedness, strengthen mutual aid coordination, and support California’s emergency management system.
These meetings provide an important forum for local input, helping maintain California’s Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and ensure emergency management practices reflect the needs and capabilities of jurisdictions throughout Region V, which includes Kern, Fresno, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, and Tulare counties.
Thank you to all the partners who participated and continue working together to build safer, stronger, and more resilient communities! 💪
