California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified March 9, 2026

What AB 1200 does, verified March 9, 2026

This bill requires the Office of Emergency Services to conduct biennial tabletop exercises with key personnel and agencies to evaluate their emergency preparedness plans. The exercises are designed to enhance the capabilities of participants to engage their communities in disaster response planning. The Office of Emergency Services must report on the exercises to specified committees by February 1, 2028, and biennially thereafter. Additionally, the Office must coordinate with California Volunteers to conduct community disaster preparedness training in vulnerable regions, using federal grant funding to offset costs. The training events include testing of community notification systems in identified communities.
