Existing law establishes the Office of Emergency Services within the office of the Governor. Existing law makes the office responsible for the state's emergency and disaster response services for natural, technological, or man-made disasters and emergencies, including responsibility for activities necessary to prevent, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of emergencies and disasters to people and property. Existing law, the Warren-911-Emergency Assistance Act, requires every local public agency, as defined, to have an emergency communication system and requires the digits "911" to be the primary emergency telephone number within the system. Existing law requires the office, with the advice and assistance of the Attorney General, to coordinate the implementation of systems, to assist local public agencies and local public safety agencies in obtaining financial help to establish emergency telephone service, and to aid agencies in the formulation of concepts, methods, and procedures that will improve the operation of those systems and that will increase cooperation between public safety agencies. This bill would establish the 911 Public Education Campaign, to be administered by the office in collaboration with the State 911 Advisory Board, as specified, for the purpose of educating the public on when it is appropriate to call 911 for assistance. The bill would include in the goals of the campaign, among others, reducing the number of unnecessary calls to 911 call centers and reducing delays in the 911 system caused by nonemergency calls being placed. The bill would require the campaign to give local public agencies the ability to tailor the message of the campaign, focus on social media, and be distributed to the public via local public agency channels.
