| In
my efforts to bring to you
preparedness information that
is both informative, helpful
to the area in which we live
and yet interesting without
being repeated and overdone
to death can be difficult at
times. In my search to bring
you something different, I
came across preparedness information
just for Californians. It comes
from the California Emergency
Management Agency (CalEMA)
website. In the next 12 weeks,
I’d like to touch on
12 topics we as Californians
face. The information is basic
and will have added informational
links and downloadable materials
for your convenience. With
so much information packed
in each subject, you may want
to save or add to your “Favorites”. |

California obtains electric power from a variety
of in- and out-of-state sources, including gas-fired
power plants, nuclear power plants, hydropower and renewable
sources such as wind, geothermal and solar power. California
produces both natural gas and petroleum, but imports
more than it produces; in 2006, California imported over
85 percent of its natural gas and nearly 60 percent of
its crude oil, either from other States or from other
countries. |

California’s
energy production, storage
and distribution systems are
vulnerable to physical hazards
as well as shortages caused
by market forces, weather and
operating conditions.
Energy
disruption may have significant
impacts on the
state’s economy, environment
and standard of living. During
extreme weather, an energy
disruption may result in a
risk to public health and safety.
