HCFA Goes To Sacramento
Staff from HCFA had the opportunity to participate in the event “9-1-1 Goes to Sacramento” April 29th - May 1st. Our staff had the privilege to meet with State of California legislators and discuss the responsibilities of 9-1-1- dispatchers and advocate for the profession. Staff from HCFA got to meet with staff for Assembly Member Boerner (77th District), Assembly Member Rivas (43rd District), Assembly Member Maienschein (76th District), Assembly Member McKinnor (61st District), Assembly Member Davies (74th District), and Assembly Member Rendon (62nd District) just to name a few.
California Office of Emergency – State Operations Center: While in Sacramento, HCFA staff got to tour the Governors Office of Emergency Services State Operations Center (SOC). Our staff was thrilled to learn more about the large scale emergency operations center for the State of California and how they support all of the local agencies during times of emergency. It was an eye opening experience to see how our 9-1-1 responsibilities tie into the larger state mission during period of significant emergency activity.
