Existing law, the Mello-Granlund Older Californians Act, establishes the California Department of Aging in the California Health and Human Services Agency, and sets forth its mission to provide leadership to the area agencies on aging in developing systems of home- and community-based services that maintain individuals in their own homes or least restrictive homelike environments. Existing law requires, among other things, the department to administer the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) program.
This bill would require the California Department of Aging to prepare and submit a report, as specified, detailing the emergency services available to older Californians and people with disabilities during a natural disaster.
