CUEA participated in the Statewide Mutual Aid Regional Advisory Committee (MARAC) meeting, representing member utilities and supporting discussions focused on emergency management coordination across California.
MARAC serves as a key component of California’s Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), providing a forum where local governments, emergency managers, utilities, and state agencies collaborate on preparedness, response, and recovery initiatives.
Through participation in MARAC, CUEA helps ensure utility perspectives are incorporated into statewide emergency management planning and policy discussions. These engagements provide opportunities to strengthen relationships, improve coordination processes, and advocate for the needs of utility operators during large-scale incidents.
As California continues to face increasingly complex threats, participation in statewide coordination forums remains critical to building resilient utility systems and supporting effective emergency response efforts.
