The Governor Gavin Newsom<\/a> The U.S. Department of Health has activated the State Operations Center to coordinate a statewide response ahead of the next round of incoming storms that are expected to bring significant impacts across the state, and has also urged residents to prepare.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beginning Tuesday night, a series of storms will sweep across the state over the next 10 days and are expected to bring significant rainfall, strong winds, deep snow, as well as possible flash flooding and power outages.<\/span><\/p>\n

The State Operations Center in Mather is being activated to coordinate a unified response to these storms among state, local and federal agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Newsom also ordered the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES)<\/a> to lead an early, proactive effort to pre-position state personnel and equipment in communities most at risk of damage before the worst of the storms arrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The state is also taking steps to prepare for potential flooding by activating the Flood Operations Center for increased coordination and utilizing California spillways when necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the National Weather Service, a significant series of weather systems will impact the state beginning this week, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall, accumulating snow in the mountains and wind gusts of 60 to 70 miles per hour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Precipitation will begin in far northern California on Tuesday and spread to the rest of the state on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. This weather pattern will continue in the coming weeks, with above-normal precipitation expected across the state, especially in Southern California.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe state is working around the clock with our local partners to deploy life-saving equipment and resources across the state. With more storms on the horizon, we will continue to mobilize all available resources to protect Californians,\u201d Newsom said.<\/span><\/p>\n
