The purpose of this report is to provide a status report on related programs and policies, to map the current preparedness gaps with activities to address them and to identify efforts to integrate culturally diverse communities into emergency preparedness activities in California. While this report explicitly focuses on California, our methodological framework is intended to be relevant to other states and regions interested in conducting similar analyses for their diverse communities.
