EMAC (state-to-state mutual aid agreements nationwide) is currently being used to activate resources in various states to provide assistance for disaster response ... but not in CA. It has been previously mentioned that EMAC hasn't yet been joined by CA and Hawaii.

I heard from a reliable source that CA Governor Schwarzenegger is again trying to push through legislation for CA to join EMAC. (For some reason this didn't get passed in his prior attempt to have CA join EMAC.) This is an excellent time for all in CA to contact your legislators at the state level and ask them to support CA joining EMAC.
