The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services has received more than $40 million in General Funds. Most recently, Governor Newsom's 2019-20 budget, which was passed by the Legislature and signed into law included $16.3 million to complete the infrastructure buildout and fund the remaining activities identified in the initial CEEW System Business Plan.
Additional activities currently underway include:
- The purchase, installation, and integration of GPS stations into the CEEW System in order to provide a more accurate alert on earthquakes above a magnitude 7.
- Enable earthquake stations to connect to the State Microwave System, ensuring mission critical data generated by the stations will be working during damaging earthquakes and subsequent aftershock sequences.
- Continue to engage and partner with the private sector, business sector and education sector to establish CEEW links and related procedures.
- Continue to develop and administer a statewide education and outreach campaign to ensure that residents and businesses will integrate the CEEW and take the correct protective actions when they receive the alert.
