Standardized emergency management system.

Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, requires the Office of Emergency Services, in coordination with all interested state agencies with designated response roles in the state emergency plan and interested local emergency management agencies, to jointly establish by regulation a standardized emergency management system for use by all emergency response agencies. The act requires the Office of Emergency Services to complete an after-action report within 180 days of a declared disaster, as provided. This bill would instead require the Office of Emergency Services to complete 2 after-action reports, the first within the first 180 days of a declared disaster and an updated report no later than 180 days after a declared disaster ends, as provided. The bill would require the office to send both reports to the Assembly and Senate Committees on Emergency Management, as provided.
