Hello:

I am the Deputy Chief ACS Officer, Northern Region, for the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

I cover the following Mutual Aid Regions:

• Mutual Aid Region 2
• Mutual Aid Region 3
• Mutual Aid Region 4
• Mutual Aid Region 5

In the California State ACS program, we use a wide variety of communication tools to bridge communication gaps. These tools include (but are not limited to) amateur radio (where allowed by law), satellite, portable repeaters, hand-held radio caches, VOIP telephones, faxes, and installation of internet connectivity to remote incident command posts where no communication infrastructures exist, or have been compromised or overloaded. 

These are just a small example of the services we provide to the individual operational areas of the state of California in order to protect and serve the citizens of our wonderful state.
