Overview

Since 2002, CPCA has been involved in emergency preparedness activities to provide a clinic voice for California's emergency preparedness and response planning process. Thanks to efforts of all of our partners around the state, CPCA has become recognized as a leader nationwide in all emergency preparedness and response activities.
