only 1 percent (one city) has a plan to respond to an earthquake prediction. At the State level, the California OES, as an integral part of the Governor's Office, functions as his immediate staff and coordinating organization in carrying out the State's emergency responsibilities. Specific emergency assignments have been made to 34 State agencies by the OES Director through a series of Administrative Orders. During emergencies the activities of these agencies and departments are coordinated by the California OES. The State OES is also responsible for maintaining and updating the California Emergency Plan (CEP) and associated readiness plans.
