~ As Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc as a Category 4 hurricane, Governor Gavin Newsom of California has announced the deployment of additional resources to support the response efforts. The deployment includes 151 firefighters and support personnel from California/FEMA US&R Task Force 5, 6, and 8, as well as California Swiftwater Task Force 1 from the Los Angeles Fire Department.
In close coordination with FEMA, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is sending these highly specialized personnel to assist in search and rescue operations, incident management, and emergency operations in the areas most affected by the hurricane. These individuals are trained in handling challenging conditions such as collapsed structures, flooded areas, and dangerous debris.
According to Cal OES Director Nancy Ward, these highly trained individuals play a crucial role in saving lives during disasters. Their ability to quickly locate survivors, provide medical care, and navigate extreme environments can make all the difference when every second counts.

Governor Newsom expressed his gratitude for being able to extend a helping hand to those impacted by Hurricane Helene. He also reassured that this deployment will not affect California's emergency response and firefighting capabilities.
This is not the first time that California has provided aid to other states during natural disasters. In recent years, they have deployed firefighters to Florida, Texas, Georgia, New Mexico, Hawaii, Oregon, and Montana.
In other news from Governor Newsom's office today, three new state symbols were established through legislation signed by the governor. The Dungeness crab was named as the state crustacean while the banana slug was designated as the state slug. The black abalone was also declared as the state seashell.
Additionally, Governor Newsom proclaimed today as Native American Day and signed several bills that aim to support Native American communities in California. He also signed eight bipartisan bills into law that will help protect victims of domestic abuse and violence. These bills include the creation of a new victims' services fund and expanding the ability of domestic violence survivors to obtain restraining orders.
As California continues to face various challenges, Governor Newsom remains committed to providing aid and support to those in need. With the deployment of additional resources and the signing of important legislation, the state is taking steps towards a safer and more resilient future.
